My Career Path

Hi, I'm Tena Moore, a web designer with a long career and a unique blend of skills in writing, digital marketing, and design. I have over two decades of experience working with entrepreneurs passionate about their work in the world.

I began my career in the late 90s as a writer for the web.

In 2001, I took my first online marketing position in Marin, CA, and worked with a roster of big-name clients: Microsoft, Fox, Miramax, Handspring, Full Sail Academy, and more.

Not long after, I began venturing out on my own, helping small businesses in the city of San Francisco with their online marketing efforts.

In those days, it was MySpace and Tribe.net, along with Usenet forums. In 2007 - Facebook happened! Everything changed.

I was already doing online marketing, so this was a game-changer for me, and set me off on a two-decade career in digital marketing. I owned a social media agency, Social Bloom, for five years until selling the name to a Los Angeles-based company in 2018.

In 2020, I decided that I wanted to make a change. I think a lot of people found new interests and callings during this time. You might be one of them.

The natural progression for me was Squarespace Web Design.

My website had been on Squarespace since 2012, and social media alone wasn’t enough to bring in the results I wanted to see for my clients. Social media should be a place that DIRECTS people to your website so that you can get their email and start a relationship with them.

Your social media efforts don’t work if your website isn’t optimized for leads and sales.

I don’t just create pretty websites - I create websites that are rich in marketing techniques and messaging that speak to your unique audience.

Together, we'll create a digital space that's a true reflection of your unique spirit and professional journey while also bringing in leads and sales on automagic!

My Philosophy

My approach is simple:

  1. Understanding Your Vision:

    Every design journey begins with a lengthy conversation. I dive deep into your values, goals, mission, vision, the essence of your brand, and your reason for ‘why.’ Then I use my knowledge to help you shine online.

  2. Design & Development:

    Crafting custom, visually stunning, and user-friendly websites that resonate with your business and professional ethos is my jam. I listen, communicate, and care.

  3. Empowering You & Your Digital Presence:

    I don’t just send you on your way after the web design process. You’ll be equipped with tools and knowledge to manage your new online space. Making custom instructional videos is one of my favorite things!

On Teddy’s paperwork, it said he was a mini-poodle mix - but I never knew what he was mixed with, because he has a mysterious past. I like to say he’s part mini-poodle, and part Teddy Bear! 🧸

Teddy was my first dog ever. He was a 2-year-old recue when I got him, and we had an AMAZING 12 years together.

BEST. DOG. EVER. EVER.

Look at that smile! My SOUL DOG.

Gotcha Day: January 21st, 2024

Tiny is a terrier and mini-poodle mix. She’s learning the joys of toys, balls, and playing. She loves the balcony and being outside. She joined Teddy and me on January 21st, 2024—this year!

I originally got her for Teddy since he was slowing down and seemed depressed. It originally went well—until about Feb. 16th, when she had surprise puppies!

Neither I nor the vet knew she was pregnant (until a few days before). She gave birth on Feb. 16th, 2024, to four beautiful girls: MooMoo, Princess Rambo, Queen Beatrice, and Honey!

The puppies spent their first 8-weeks with us, and now they are all in new, loving homes.

Born February 16th, 2024!!
