Our Story
Learn About Marketing Waves and the Story Behind the Name
We believe every business has the potential to rise above the waves of competition and chart a course toward success. Our name, Marketing Waves, and the nautical theme are more than just branding, they represent the voyage every business takes to navigate the vast and often unpredictable ocean of marketing.
The inspiration for Marketing Waves stems from the sea itself, a place of endless opportunity, challenges, and discovery. Just as a ship must be built to withstand the tides and currents, your business needs a strong vessel to thrive in the ever-changing digital landscape.
The ocean is a powerful metaphor for marketing. It’s vast, dynamic, and full of opportunities, but it can also be overwhelming without the right tools and guidance. At Marketing Waves, we see ourselves as your trusted crew, helping you steer your business toward success with a website and strategy that are built to last.
Each of our services reflects an essential part of a ship, working together to ensure your business is ready to navigate the marketing sea:
The Vessel (Website Design)
Your website is the heart of your online presence, the vessel that carries your brand and message to your audience. It must be strong, well-designed, and equipped to handle the waves of competition.

The Livery (Branding Design)
A ship’s livery (the colors, insignia, and design) represents its identity. Similarly, your brand’s logo, typography, and colors create a cohesive identity that sets you apart and leaves a lasting impression.

The Propellers (Web Maintenance)
Just as propellers keep a ship moving forward, our hosting, maintenance, and security services ensure your website stays updated, secure, accessible, backed-up, compliant, and running smooth.

A vessel that isn’t seaworthy risks being lost in the waves, and the same is true for businesses without a strong online presence. At Marketing Waves, we help you build a website and brand that are not only visually stunning but also functional, secure, and optimized for success. With the right vessel, livery, and propellers, your business will be ready to navigate the marketing sea with confidence.
About Marketing Waves ~ Creative Director
Ahoy! I am the Creative Director here at Marketing Waves Online. We build "Vessels" (your website) to help small and medium-sized businesses navigate the ever-changing marketing waves.
Understanding the many roles a business owner juggles, I've seen how the ebb and flow of internet algorithms can distract from what matters most—growing your business.
My journey began in the 1990s, fueled by a love for graphic arts. From there, I gained hands-on experience in traditional printing and desktop publishing.
Over the past decade, I've been building websites, while earning an MBA in Marketing and becoming a Certified Digital Marketing Professional, equipping me with the expertise to make your brand stand out.
Today, I combine these skills to orchestrate every project, crafting websites that let you focus on running your business while your tailored site works for you.
