Heart-centered digital projects for mission-driven people.

 

Your website isn’t just a tool; it’s a living, breathing extension of your values and mission. My approach to web design and digital support goes beyond the technical. Grounded in the wisdom of spirituality, nature therapy, and The Work that Reconnects, I help you create digital spaces that foster connection and inspire action.

As Robin Wall Kimmerer reminds us, “All flourishing is mutual.” This principle guides my work—your success isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about creating a platform that nurtures your audience and allows everyone involved to thrive.

About Me

I’m Hazel Knight—a web designer, theologian, writer, and certified nature therapy guide building digital homes for people doing good work. I make websites (and the systems behind them) for nonprofits, therapists, artists, and holy troublemakers—folks who care more about healing and justice than corporate buzzwords. I’m a digital wayfarer with a slightly rebellious streak, here to help your calling and heart-centered work look good online and actually function in real life.

Engaging Hazel Knight of doinggoodwebsites.com to develop my website and design my logo was one of the best decisions I made. Her skills in digital media, combined with her passion for, and commitment to, working with those who place helping people rather than big profits at the centre of what they do were just what I needed. Hazel’s respectful questioning, suggestions, and supportive mentoring were invaluable. She has created a website which effectively communicates my skills, values and approach to helping authors. I recommend her without hesitation.

My colleagues and I lead a Maine-based organization that falls squarely in the “helpers, healers, and holy troublemakers” category, so when it was time to embrace the possibility — and frankly, the daunting task — of developing a new website, we knew Hazel was the designer we needed. From our very first conversation, Hazel instinctively understood who we were: our mission, our priorities, our values, and our vibe. She led our team through a deeply engaging four-day design sprint and then went right to work designing a website that is comprehensive and functional, yes, but also colorful, creative, visually compelling and versatile. Hazel is eminently collaborative, flexible, and wise. Highly recommend!

From the first draft, it was clear that Hazel had really listened to me. She guided the process with care, focusing on what truly matters to me while using her expertise to keep the message clear and accessible. She was open to feedback, added extra elements, and came up with great suggestions and beautiful design ideas. And she did it all in no time. At one point, she said, “I want the website to represent your heart.” What a beautiful intention to receive – her thoughtful approach made all the difference.

When I was looking for someone to design my therapy practice’s website, I needed a designer who could truly understand the heart behind my work with families and educators. Hazel took the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and immerse herself in my brand’s mission of providing compassionate and responsive services.

Her ability to translate my vision into a clear website is remarkable. From the calming color palette to the easy navigation, every element reflects the warmth and guidance I strive to offer. Her talent for design combined with her empathy for my work has been an invaluable partnership.

I’m incredibly grateful to have worked with a designer who sees beyond just aesthetics. Hazel’s commitment to deeply comprehending my brand’s purpose has given me a website that genuinely connects with the families and educators I serve.

We believe that there are very few web designers that lead with their heart and actually have the professional skills to follow through with the commitment. In the beginning, Hazel told us the price, timeline, requirements on our end and what she would be responsible for.

There were zero negative surprises but plenty of positivity along the way!

We did a soft launch with family, friends, and our Wild Church cohorts, and they expressed everything from, “well laid out and easy to navigate, beautiful colors, pictures convey the meaning of the text, epic, and very intuitive and inviting!”

If you are looking for well designed, beautiful, informative, and holistic website go no further.

We will be using Hazel for all of our web-based creative ideas not to mention we are referring her to basically everyone we come in contact with that needs a webpage.

I own an outpatient mental health clinic in Arkansas (USA), and it is so refreshing to work with someone who “gets” what inspires me, and who is inspired by the same values and accomplishments. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, marketing director for a heart-centered business, and you’re tired of having to explain why certain things are important to your business…Hazel is the web developer you need! Hazel has always been prompt, responsive, creative, and persistent in helping design, develop, and maintain my clinic’s website. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

How I work

I work slowly and on purpose. I only take on two building or redesign projects at a time, so your website isn’t competing for attention with a dozen others. This is boutique webcraft—rooted, spacious, and deeply human.

I listen first. Always.
I come with curiosity, not assumptions, because the best design begins with understanding your calling and the work you’re doing to heal the world.

When a project calls for it, I lead design sprints—short, collaborative bursts of focused momentum where key stakeholders gather to clarify goals, map content, make decisions, and move forward together. Sprints work beautifully for both small teams and larger organizations: they create alignment, reduce overwhelm, and help the process feel grounded instead of chaotic.

I work with a wide range of budgets, and I’m devoted to the Green Bottle sliding scale as a practice of equity—so that thoughtful, strategic design is accessible to the communities and do-gooders who need it most.
