Our client, the Friends of the Arlington Public Library, tells us that they smile every time they look at their website. Is your website out of date, hard to manage and not a reflection of the amazing work you do?. We've helped schools and other educational organizations reinvigorate their online presence.
Our mission at Design TLC is to help educational organizations better represent themselves online and to make building, owning, and maintaining a website a stress-free and easy process. We specialize in working with small schools/preschools, camps, enrichment programs and education-focused nonprofits.
Tara and Design TLC were professional and flexible. When we needed to make changes or if we wanted further designs, they were very responsive. They understood the message we wanted to convey and the design reflected that. We received such a high quality website for a great price. We would never have been able to do that with any other provider.
The team at Design TLC allows you to focus on running your organization instead of spending hours creating and updating a website that doesn't end up looking or functioning like you want it to. Tara Claeys began her career in advertising and marketing in the early 1990's. After her first child was born, she supplemented her full-time job as Mom with illustration and stationery design for clients around the world.
Design TLC specializes in working with small schools, preschools, camps and enrichment programs for children, as well as education-focused nonprofits. We help these organizations reach their target audience and communicate their message effectively. We are parents ourselves, so we know that communication with parents is important.

Tara is amazing! She came to our project highly recommended by other non profits and small businesses in Arlington and now I am a huge fan too. Her tremendous creativity and technical skills are paired with a kind and competent management philosophy. Tara completely redid our website, our branding, including a new logo, revamped our membership tracking, and helped us figure out some volunteer management solutions. Everything works seamlessly, and the entire process was enjoyable. And since she manages our website now, we get to keep working with her. Don't hesitate to hire Design TLC to design

Tara did a complete overhaul of my company's website (Val Grubb & Associates) to not only modernize the back-end but to make it easier to navigate. I could not be happier with my website and more importantly, I've noticed an uptick in people coming to my site (especially to view my blog) and my SEO presence. She has maintained my site since it went live and I expanded her responsibilities to include a 2nd business site (Travel with Aging Parents). She not only is awesome at her job, but she's a pleasure to work with. You don't find that combination too often (certainly not in this arena).

Tara is an absolute wizard. This is my second time working with her on a website. Beyond her vision and understanding of architecture and design -- which are considerable -- she brings the highest standards of professionalism to every element of every project. She delivers beautiful sites not just on schedule, but ahead of schedule! Furthermore, she has a particularly sharp understanding of the architecture of school websites. Tara also works well with writers and photographers in creating websites that are logical to navigate and gorgeous to look at. You can't go wrong with Tara and Design TLC

Tara at Design TLC is fantastic! She designed my logo and website for my small business, and I really love both.
I appreciate that Tara is always flexible about our "division of labor" to keep my budget under control. We have an ongoing dialogue about the best way to accomplish something - whether she handles it, whether she teaches me how to do something, or whether I tackle things on my own (like ongoing product updates).
I also appreciate her availability and responsiveness. Any time I've experienced an error or glitch on my site (usually related to an update), she's always replied very quickly
