The websites and systems
your business grows on.

Solid ground. Room to grow.

A studio building websites, branding, and the online tools local businesses need to get found, reach more customers, and grow.

How it works

Like a creek down the hill.

Every part of the work maps to the creek in the mark. Solid ground at the top, and more room to grow the whole way down.

01 — Foundation
Something solid to stand on

A real website built to hold up. The bedrock everything else grows from.

02 — Growth
Room to carry more

It starts small and picks up as it goes. The tools and features that let your business take on more without drowning in it.

03 — Together
Businesses find each other

A local network where neighbors can find you and send work between each other.

04 — The valley
The whole place does better

When the water gathers, everything along the bank is fed. Your growth is the valley's growth, and it stays right here.

What I build

More than a website.

01

Web Design & Ongoing Care

I hand-build fast, modern sites that work the way your customers think. No bloated page builders, no compromises on speed. And I stick around after launch to keep it running, updated, and growing with you.

02

Branding & Identity

A good brand starts with knowing what you stand for. I help you find the language, look, and feel that make the right customers say "that's the one" before they finish the homepage.

03

UI/UX Design

I design systems and apps that get out of people's way. Clear paths to what they came for. No confusion, no dead ends, no choices that make someone wonder if they're in the right place.

04

Print & Marketing

Business cards, signage, brochures, packaging. Print work that matches your online brand so customers see one consistent business, not a patchwork stitched together over the years.

Why work with me

What you can count on.

Built for you
Made for your business

Every site is built around how your business actually works, not forced into a template that fights you.

Room to grow
Built to help you grow

Your site is made to grow with you, ready to take on more as your business does, instead of needing a rebuild every couple of years.

Close by
Local and easy to reach

I'm right here in the Arkansas Ozarks. You'll always know who's doing the work and how to reach them.

About

Hi. I'm Merinda.

I live and work in the Arkansas Ozarks. A creek starts as almost nothing, a trickle off a hilltop, then another joins it and another, until it's wide enough to carry a current. That's how I see the businesses around here. Each one starts with a solid foundation, and from there it grows.

My job is two parts. Give you something solid to stand on, then help you grow, get found, and reach more customers. When the water gathers, the whole valley does better.

Hilltop Creek Designs is my design studio. If you run a local business and want it to do more online, I'd like to hear from you.
