Heather Legault

Heather has been building websites for over five years, starting out in the public sector before leaping into the private world for one very important reason: more creative freedom (and way fewer committee meetings).

She has a soft spot for the wonderfully weird — those niche, one-off sites where she can dig into a client’s quirks, story, and the little details that make them unforgettable. If it’s unique, she’s in.

Every site Heather builds is crafted with accessibility in mind and user experience at the top of the list — because if people can’t use your site, what’s the point?
