“I’m thinking of a color…”
I am truly blessed to have grow up with an aunt who was blind.
It may seem odd, but one of her favorite games was, “I’m thinking of a color…”
Not only did her guessing game make me fall in love with color, her blindness encouraged me to describe what I saw in greater detail. Although Mimmi passed many years ago, I still cherish the little world we shared.
Describing what you “see”
I don’t know how you did it, but you took the ideas I had in my head and interpreted them with words and images — even the ones I didn’t articulate! What you do is really unique. — Cliff Martin
As a graphic designer I combine my love of color and page design, with my editorial experience at Glamour, Mademoiselle and Weight Watcher’s Magazine, to help my clients communicate their message with beauty and clarity.
I’m always striving to bring out the best qualities in my clients, so that others can see their strengths.
Design for print and web
For many years I designed only printed pieces such as brochures, publications, promotional materials, and trade show banners. I still design printed pieces on request.
In 2003 I created my first website using Dreamweaver, but since 2012 I’ve used only WordPress.
Why I switched to WordPress
Coaches, authors and independent consultants began asking if I could design a website that they could control.
Many of my clients had been burned by web developers who charged them thousands of dollars for a custom website. When they needed a small change these same web developers were unresponsive, or out of business.
They felt trapped.
WordPress was the perfect fit because I could give my clients exactly what they wanted — and needed — a professional, profitable website with all the bells and whistles that they owned and controlled.
Install, build, train
If you want more than a one-page WordPress blog, things get complicated.
That does not mean you should give up control of your site to someone else. You should not. And that does not mean you need to build your own site to stay in control. You do not.
You don’t need to know how to build a WordPress site, you just need to know how to use it.
After I install and customize my clients’ WordPress sites, I teach them (or a staff member) how to use it so they can save money making their own updates, and posting their own blogs.
Creating a website that builds your business
I want my clients to have a strong online presence. To me that means keeping up with WordPress, SEO, online marketing best practices, and Google Analytics.
Annually you can find me at WordPress Camps in Boston and Rhode Island, in Santa Fe at a Perfect Customers’ roundtable, and at online marketing conference such as Jeff Walker’s PLF (Product Launch Formula) Live.
Too busy running your business to build your own website?
Perfect! That’s what I do! And I love it.

- If you want a website that makes money for you while you sleep…

What do your clients say about you?
Nancy, you have been so helpful to me and I am so grateful for the beautiful work you have done. I will continue to utilize your services as I continue to develop my site further…Thank you for the amazing work you do! — Janet Bowen RN, FNP, AHN-BC
Nancy understood what we needed for a successful site, and not just a good looking site. And trust me, that’s a distinction a whole lot of graphic designers just don’t seem to grasp. — Dr. Kaayla T. Daniel
What I liked best about Nancy was that she was proactive, had a lot of ideas and offered suggestions that were good for my business. The e-book she designed was sensational and extremely professional looking.
Nancy is focused, creative and sincere in what she promises to deliver. She’s also pleasant to work and provides a push with needed…and always professional. — Harriet Linder
When I started my own business, a successful colleague of mine highly recommended that I work with Nancy Fields for all my graphic design needs. I love my website, business cards, posters and gift certificates! I’m proud to connect with my clients through my promotional materials. Thanks to Nancy Fields, my business is doing great.
I will personally continue to work with Nancy and recommend her to every business owner I meet. If you want the best graphic designer, look no further! You will be so happy you chose to work the Nancy Fields! — Shana Anolik LMT
Nancy did an outstanding job developing our banner, our website and teaching us to be ‘self sufficient’ (at least we will try). — Julia Donnelly & Linda Sanders
Nancy taught me step by step how to run and manage the website and showed me how easy it is to take command of your own site—very empowering. I couldn’t have done any of this without her design and expertise. — Jane Karakula
Nancy Fields immediately understands our objectives and has developed innovative online and printed materials in a timely fashion, at a competitive price. — Jack Ernst, COO, Berkshire Electric Cable Co.
I have worked with Nancy for several years now on a variety of design projects. What I value most about Nancy is her ingenuity: she can take a complex project and find an effective way to convey the message or bring a text to life. Her work is uncluttered and original. — Mary Irwin, Gifts & Development Officer, Friends of Smith College Libraries
Nancy’s designs are very eye catching and compelling. I always get wonderful compliments on her work for her composition and color choices. I use Nancy for every design project. — Jane Karakula, Theatre production
I came to Nancy needing to be rescued from a previous graphic design experience that had gone awry. Nancy was patient and reassuring as we started to work together. I asked her for something ‘inspired’ which I know was not an easy request to fill.
Nancy responded to my somewhat vague and changing ideas with creativity and patience while holding me to a high level of quality. After the design work was completed she guided me though the process of having my materials printed. She offered comments and suggestions about important details, which made a critical difference in the quality of what was produced. This saved me time and money and a set of lovely, creative and inspired promotional materials resulted.
I look forward to working with Nancy again for future graphic design needs. — Janet Bunce, President & CEO, Care for Our Elders.
