Online Homes for Artists and Embodied Practitioners
I build calm, durable WordPress sites for people whose work is human, relational, and creative — artists, musicians, somatic therapists, and movement teachers. The kind of sites that feel true to the person behind them and are supported and maintained over time.
About
My name is Jesse Thom — a touring musician and meditation teacher who has been building websites alongside a life in the arts for many years.
I work with artists and embodied practitioners who want their online presence to feel grounded, human, and reliable — without having to learn or manage technical systems.
Alongside my independent work, I also design and support online course pages for Shambhala Publications, contributing to contemplative and educational projects that value depth and care.
Who I Work With
Creative and embodied practitioners, including:
Artists and Visual Makers
Musicians and Music Educators
Dancers, Choreographers, and Movement Teachers
Somatic Therapists and Bodyworkers
Yoga teachers and Contemplative Practitioners
Accupuncturists, Herbalists and Alternative Medicine Practitioners
People doing real work with real people, who want a website that feels human and simply works.
How I help
I design and care for WordPress sites so they stay stable, secure, and reflective of your work over time.
I see a website as a steady place your work lives — something you own and control, outside the noise and volatility of social platforms. A quiet home for your work, rather than a stream you have to constantly feed.
My role is to remove the technical layer so your work can be held clearly and reliably.
