Meet Ruth :: Toronto Web Designer

Ruth Maude
Principal, Dandelion Web Design Inc.
Toronto, ON

As a Toronto WordPress Designer and Developer I will design and build a custom WordPress theme to meet your website needs. I have been designing web sites since the late 1990′s. In 2002, Dandelion Web Design was launched and in 2006 Dandelion Web Design was incorporated.

Professional Speaking:

I love WordPress and I take pleasure in helping others learn more about WordPress. I facilitate WordPress Workshops in Toronto and enjoy professional speaking.

Check out my portfolio to see examples of my work and contact me about your web design needs.

A Field of Wishes:

I was out for a walk one beautiful spring afternoon pushing a stroller. Coming around a corner toward a field that runs behind some nearby houses Hanah, the little four-year-old girl that I was babysitting, drew in her breath “huh” and exclaimed, “Ruth, look! A whole field of wishes!”

There before us was a beautiful field of countless dandelions; large, vibrant yellow, ray flowers and many perfectly formed balls of white dandelion seeds awaiting a breeze.

Hanah and I picked one of the dandelions and blew our wish on the wind. Our wish was that her big brother would feel better and be home from the hospital soon. Our wish and our prayers were answered in just a few days.

The name “Dandelion Web Design” reminds me of this field of wishes.

My Education:

• Web Site Design And Developer Advanced Training Designation from Ryerson University
• B.A. – York University
• B.R.E. – O.B.C. now Tyndale University

How Dandelion Grew:

My son was born with two birth conditions which led me to develop two non-profit sites; amnioticbandsyndrome.com and clubfootclub.org. Other sites quickly followed. What began as a personal interest, turned into a fulfilling career.

I enjoy that web design is a creative occupation. I also explore creativity through Encaustic Art. You can view my portfolio on my flickr art gallery

The Team:

I will personally work to design and build your web site. Should your project require other expertise, I have a network of colleagues I can contact for SEO copywriting, Social Media Assistance, WordPress Plugin creation or osCommerce custom programming.
