I am not accepting new projects at this time. Please see the new version of my portfolio at my main site.

My name is Lisa Paitz Spindler and I run Amber Leaf Creative,
which specializes in building search-engine friendly web sites
for small businesses and individuals.


Website Design

With over 20 years web design experience, I offer personal attention and expertise in targeting your niche audience. I’ve been building websites since 1995 when the only layout options we had meant complicated tables. Now I can build your site using standards-based XHTML, CSS, and PHP.

Take a look at some of my recent website brochure designs.

WordPress Design

If you need a more involved solution than a brochure website, I can set you up with your own installation of WordPress using a custom theme based on my own framework. I’ve researched the best plugins, and even created a few of my own, to make your website as dynamic as your business.

Web Content Writing

Maybe you already have a website and need help with content or maybe you just plain don’t know where to start. I’ve been writing for the web since 2004 in my own blog as well as several other online outlets. I can help you design a strategy to include top-notch content to go along with your custom website design.

Take a look at some of my recent writing projects.


Lisa took my website ideas and turned them into an incredible design. She worked with me through the entire process, making sure I not only loved the results, but knew how they worked. Every time I’ve come up with something new I’d like added to my site, she’s found a creative, appealing way to make it happen.

Lisa is an expert at taking an idea and transforming it into a viable website. She was able to come up with a solution for my complicated needs, while making it seem effortless on her part. I have used her more than once to design my websites and each time I’ve been immensely pleased with the results.
