About Beth Thompson — Tampa Bay Web Designer.

Serving Tampa Bay small businesses since 2000

Beth Thompson — Tampa Bay web designer and small-business website specialist

Hi, I'm Beth Thompson

a St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay web designer and marketing professional who helps small business owners create clean, modern, and welcoming websites that are easy to use and aligned with their brand.

I specialize in simple, user-friendly website design for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and service-based professionals who prefer a personal, collaborative, one-on-one design experience rather than a large agency approach.

Why I Love Designing Websites

I’ve spent my career working at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and entrepreneurship. Over the years I’ve been a corporate marketing leader, startup co-founder, product creator, and now an independent web designer serving clients throughout Tampa Bay and beyond.

Designing websites allows me to combine all of that experience into something meaningful — helping people clarify their message, present themselves with confidence, and build an online presence that truly reflects who they are.

Most of my work comes through referrals, which I’m incredibly proud of. My clients appreciate working directly with me from start to finish, with clear communication and a supportive, collaborative process.

If you’re looking for a friendly, one-on-one website designer in the Tampa Bay area, you’re in the right place.

My Design Approach

My websites are:

  • clean, modern, and easy to navigate
  • focused on clarity, warmth, and simplicity
  • built to support real-world business goals
  • welcoming rather than “corporate” or overwhelming

I believe great web design should feel human and approachable, especially for small businesses who want a professional online presence without complexity or stress.

If you’re refreshing an older site or starting something new, I’ll help you create a website that feels authentic, visually calm, and easy for your visitors to understand and use.

A Little Bit of My Background

Before launching my own companies, I spent nearly 17 years in corporate marketing at Raymond James Financial, where I developed a strong foundation in strategy, communication, and leadership.

From there, I co-founded a product company, helped launch licensed consumer products nationwide, and eventually transitioned into running my own marketing and web-design businesses — which I’ve been doing proudly since 2000.
