Websites & Ongoing Care for Artists & Wellness Practitioners
Website Care for People Who’d Rather Be Doing Their Real Work.
Your website should support your work, not become another job.
I care for WordPress websites for artists, musicians, therapists, teachers, and wellness practitioners – keeping them secure, reliable, and easy to live with. When something new needs building, I design calm, durable sites that feel true to the person behind them.
Already have a website you like? I can take care of that too, whether it moves to my hosting or stays exactly where it is. No rebuild required.
About
My name is Jesse Thom – a touring musician and meditation teacher who has been designing websites alongside a life in the arts for many years.
I work with artists and wellness practitioners who want their online presence to feel grounded, human, and reliable – without having to learn or manage the technical side themselves.
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 wellness 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
I also care for websites belonging to nonprofits, small studios, and organizations doing values-driven work, where what the organization does matters more than how loudly it markets itself.
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 make the technical side disappear so you can stay focused on your own work.

Most of these sites were built by someone else, sometimes years ago. Keeping a site healthy doesn’t require starting over.

He took the time to sit down with me and ask thoughtful questions to truly understand what I do and who I serve. I feel truly seen and supported throughout this process.

If you’re looking for a site that feels thoughtful and genuine, not sales-driven, you’re welcome to reach out. I’m based on Salt Spring Island, BC and work with practitioners locally and internationally.
Whether you need a new site built or just want someone keeping the one you have running well, I’d love to hear from you.
