About Barbara Tierney
Open quote
Barbara Tierney, at Suncoast Web Studio, is a mind-reader and a magician! She knew exactly the look I wanted for my new site on the first try, and she made it happen in two weeks. (My former designer took 2 months, and I felt like a dentist …pulling teeth.)

Barbara is the professional you want on your side when making the many decisions and choices that pop up when designing a website. She is efficient, responsive, fast, and a pleasure to work with. She can turn what could be a chore and bore into a dream and delight.

Creative Design & Custom Websites for Small Businesses in Sarasota, Florida and Beyond

Owner | Graphic Designer | Website Designer |  Art Director
At SunCoast Web Studio, I work one-on-one with small businesses throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, and beyond to create affordable, custom websites and cohesive visual branding. As a one-woman studio, every project receives personal attention — from concept to launch.

Whether you’re looking to expand your online reach, improve search visibility, or present a more polished brand image, my goal is simple:
clear design, practical solutions, and results that make sense for your budget.

Experience & Background

My design career spans more than 30 years and began in photography and print publishing before moving into agency work in New York City, where I helped manage production and launches for nationally recognized brands including MTV, USA Today, and Nickelodeon.

Over the years, I’ve worked across corporate design, editorial layouts, advertising, direct mail, branding, and website development. That blend of print and digital experience allows me to approach each project with a broader perspective — ensuring that websites, logos, and marketing materials all work together instead of feeling disconnected.

My Approach

I believe good design should be:

  • Clear – easy for visitors to understand

  • Professional – visually consistent and trustworthy

  • Practical – built to grow with your business

  • Approachable – no confusing jargon or inflated pricing

When we work together, you’re not passed to a team or an account manager — you work directly with me.
