ABOUT AH WEB & DESIGN

Effective, striking digital solutions — led by Aleks Heide.

With 14+ years in marketing, I bring the experience and insight to lead creative, results-driven projects. I’m skilled in web, design, and digital strategy but what I love most is helping others grow by creating real, meaningful connections online and IRL.

AH Web & Design is an independent web and digital strategy practice rooted in Michigan and working with clients across the country.

I help businesses build a digital presence that feels clear, credible, and actually useful, not just pretty for the sake of being pretty. The work often includes website design, brand refinement, content structure, e-commerce, marketing integrations, and the small backend details that make everything easier to manage once the site is live.

I bring a mix of strategy, lived experience, and heart to the work. I’m a mom of two, a business owner, a community builder, and someone who deeply understands that your website is not just a design project. It is often the place people go to decide if they trust you, understand you, and want to take the next step with you.

Over the years, I’ve produced digital work for national portfolios and helped refresh the foundations of small businesses and personal brands, including therapy practices, construction companies, service providers, wine bars, leadership coaches, beauty brands, and community-led events.

The common thread is always the same: a website and digital presence that finally matches the quality of the work, experience, and trust already happening behind the scenes.

ROOTED IN COMMUNITY

The strongest brands are built through connection, clarity, and trust.

With 14+ years in marketing, I bring a holistic view of the entire digital picture — not just the website, not just the visuals, and not just the latest tool. I help businesses understand how their website, content, brand presence, email marketing, social media, and community visibility all work together to support real growth.

I also believe AI can be a powerful tool when it is guided by real strategy and a human touch. My work blends smart digital systems with thoughtful creative direction, so your brand feels polished and efficient without losing the personality, warmth, and trust that make people want to work with you.

Local Perspective

Based in Michigan and rooted in community, I understand how much trust, visibility, and real relationships matter for small businesses.

Holistic Marketing View

From websites and content to email, social media, graphics, and AI-supported tools, I look at how every piece of your digital presence works together.

Human-Led Technology

I use digital tools intentionally, blending strategy, creativity, and a human touch so your brand feels clear, credible, and still unmistakably you.

Strategic Design

I create websites and brand materials that do more than look good. They help people understand who you are, what you offer, and why it matters.

Circle of Experts

AH Web & Design collaborates with a handpicked circle of specialists who bring depth, perspective, and craft to every project. Each expert is brought in intentionally based on the needs of your business, so you get senior level talent without the agency bloat.
