I’m JoAnn, the founder of Watered Garden Creations. I provide reliable website support and management for small business owners who want their websites to function smoothly without adding stress to their day.

I’ve worked in technical roles since the early 1990s, beginning in an IT department at a manufacturing company in Illinois. Even after stepping away from corporate work to raise and homeschool my children, I never left my interest in technology or problem-solving.

Over the years, I’ve learned website technology by building and maintaining real sites. I began blogging in the mid-2000s and gradually moved deeper into the technical side of things, working with HTML, CSS, WordPress, and the systems that keep websites running behind the scenes.

In addition to my own work, I serve as the Director of Website Management for The Old Schoolhouse®, where I oversee and support a large, complex website ecosystem. I’ve worked with the organization since 2013 in various roles, and this long-term experience has shaped how I approach every site I manage.

I approach website work with an emphasis on stability, clarity, and long-term sustainability. I don’t believe in quick fixes or unnecessary complexity. Instead, I focus on building and maintaining systems that support a business quietly and reliably over time.

Through Watered Garden Creations, I help individuals and small businesses manage their websites with confidence. This includes ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting, updates, backups, and thoughtful improvements that help keep a site healthy as a business grows.

Outside of work, I enjoy a quieter, home-centered life with my husband and family. Creating a work rhythm that allows for focus, balance, and peace is important to me, and it’s reflected in how I work with others.

If you’re looking for dependable, thoughtful website support, or simply want to understand your site better, I’m always happy to connect.
