Ready to Tackle Your Tech?

Ottawa Valley Web Designer & Tech Expert

Is it just me, or …

Does running a business often feel like your business is running you?

Let’s all agree that being an entrepreneur should be simpler, lighter, and less stressful.

Hey, There!
I'm Tara-Lynn

She/Her
But you can call me Tara or Flo, for short.

As a seasoned web designer and course creation expert based in Ottawa Valley, my heart beats for all things TECH. (I know, I know … it’s not everyone’s idea of fun!)

Here’s what makes me want to cry into my coffee: when I see clients on the brink of burnout, struggling to do and learn ALL the things in their business.

You Didn't Sign Up for Entrepreneurship to

Sneak away from family and friends to work by the dim light of your laptop each night.
Have zero flexibility to take a day off – let alone a week. (That’s bananas!)
Be so dependent on 1:1 client work, you have to say yes to everyone – even people who give you a horrible gut feeling.
Waste hours and hours of your precious time wrestling with confusing tech, when you could be staying in your zone of genius.

Instead, you picture a seamless, smooth-running business that lets you do what you love most
– and skip the rest.

Your tech systems are all organized
and your sales feel effortless.

These aren’t pipe dreams, friend.

You deserve to have the time, space, and freedom to get back to crushing your CEO goals and enjoying life outside your office.

That’s where I can help.

For over 10 years, I’ve provided passionate business owners with creative tech solutions to save time, increase revenue, and elevate efficiency without subscribing to the hustle culture.

Whether you’re looking for a beautiful, money-making website, you need help setting up and launching your new course, or you have a punch list of smaller tech tasks you desperately want off your plate, I’m your girl!

FROM RETAIL WORKER TO TECH EXPERT

My path to entrepreneurship

I founded Go With Flo in 2017 after realizing there was a glass ceiling in retail, and I was already hitting it.

The growth opportunity that came with running my own business was too good for me to pass up. I’m the kinda girl who sees an opening and pushes her way through it. Tech came easy for me, but I saw that wasn’t the case for most entrepreneurs. The anxiety about tech is real and I wanted to be the one who calmed it.

Of course, I already had a lot going on.

In my typical multi-passionate ADHD fashion, I was simultaneously growing my business while growing a passion for floral design. My hobby landed me in a flower arrangement studio, Love in Bloom, working for a talented, female-owned wedding designer. It was another avenue for my creativity to flow and allowed me to experience the joy of flowers.

Now I wake up every morning feeling excited about the adventures waiting for me and truly grateful for the life I’m living.

I get to collaborate with awesome, driven humans and support them in making big, bold moves in their business. What could be better than that?

When it comes to tech,

I have no fear.

(I can’t say the same thing about spiders, though.)

It’s okay if you don’t love change or you inwardly cringe every time a new tech platform is introduced. “Oh great,” you probably think to yourself. “One more thing I need to learn!”

Good news: You don’t.

I’ll do the learning and implementing for you.

My dog-with-a-bone determination to tackle any problem, learn new technology, and conquer challenging platforms gives me life. It’s also how I stand heads above the rest. My philosophy is there are no problems that can’t be solved and where there’s a will, there’s a way. So if you’re worried no one will possibly want to take on your tech stress … I’ve got you!

Client Love

Tara completely revamped the 2 websites for my 2 businesses and I could not have asked for anything better. She truly listened to my needs and wants and delivered 2 websites for which I have received many compliments on ease of navigation and being user friendly as well as ultra stunning and chic, very own brand! Thank you once again Tara for making this (personally very overwhelming) experience SO EASY and enjoyable!

I had the pleasure of hiring Tara to design my website. She was fast, efficient and professionnal. She answers questions fast and comes up with great suggestions. I will hire her for my future projects and recommend you all do the same if you value your success online.

8 random things

you may not know about me:

I’m a dog mom to two spunky terriers, Max & Charlie.
I love gardening and can spend all day in my dahlia garden.
I’m passionate about anything wedding-related and worked as a wedding florist for 4 years while building my business. That job led me to create my passion project, Bridelope.

Will we be a good fit?

I’ve got a feeling we’ll go great together, just like chips & guac, PB & J, or any other amazing food combo. (Clearly, I’ve got snacks on the brain!)
