The Philosophy
Pretty Design.
Functional Systems.
Better Booking.
Most small businesses don't need more decoration. They need a digital presence that matches the quality of their work — and systems that stop costing them bookings.
The Problem
Your business looks less polished online than it actually is in real life.
You do good work. Your digital presence just isn't keeping up.
✕
Your website looks outdated, unfinished, or missing entirely.
✕
Your service menu is confusing, hard to read, or out of date.
✕
Your booking page doesn't guide clients clearly through the process.
✕
Your business card, social pages, and website don't feel like the same brand.
✕
Clients keep asking the same questions because the basics aren't clear.
✕
Your systems are scattered across screenshots, notebooks, notes apps, and memory.
Branding Cleanup
Get your colors, fonts, voice, and visual identity consistent across every place clients see you.
Service Menu Makeovers
Rewritten, reorganized menus that clients actually understand — with clearer pricing and categories.
Inquiry & Consult Forms
Forms that pre-qualify clients, capture the right info, and replace the back-and-forth.
What I Do
Practical glow-ups for the whole client-facing side of your business.
From the first impression online to the booking flow to the internal systems behind it.
Websites & Refreshes
Clean, mobile-friendly websites and landing pages built around clarity, trust, and bookings.
Booking Flow Cleanup
Streamline the steps between "I'm interested" and "I'm booked." Fewer drop-offs, fewer questions.
Business Cards & Materials
Polished business cards, flyers, promo graphics, and client-facing print materials.
Custom Mini Apps
Lightweight private dashboards, trackers, and internal tools for the parts of your business still living in screenshots.

Pretty is only half the job.
Hi — I'm Erin Marie. I started Pretty Functional Designs because I've always been drawn to the space where technology, design, and real-life problem solving overlap.
My background with computer systems, software, and digital tools started long before this business. I grew up interested in technology, studied IT, and have spent years working with hardware, software, workflows, and the kind of everyday systems that either make life easier — or make everything harder than it needs to be.
After several years in cosmetology and the service industry, I saw those same problems from inside a small business: confusing booking flows, unclear service menus, scattered client notes, outdated websites, and branding that didn't always match the quality of the work being done.
Pretty Functional Designs brings those worlds together — tech-minded systems thinking, UX strategy, visual polish, and real service-business experience — to help small businesses look more professional, communicate more clearly, book more easily, and run smoother.
Pretty design. Functional systems. Better booking.
