Amazing, Affordable Websites for Nonprofits
Welcome to Tomatillo Design, where I build custom WordPress websites for nonprofits of all shapes and sizes. My name is Chris Liu-Beers, and no matter the project, my goal is always the same: deliver a beautiful, highly-functional new website, and teach my client how to update it themselves. If your organization could use a new website, I’d love to work with you to build something amazing.

Working with Chris Liu-Beers and Tomatillo Design to launch our stunningly re-branded website was a nonprofit Director’s dream. Every step of the process, we felt Chris’s commitment to use his skill and talent, as well as his own nonprofit experience, to strengthen and elevate the work of other nonprofits. Chris listened deeply to our vision for how our website could most fully represent our organization’s mission and work. We came in with minimal website design experience, but for each of our ideas, Chris taught us innovative tools and techniques to transform those ideas into beautiful, practical website features and structures for ‘user flow.’
We are thrilled with the end result — but what many people can’t see is the equally excellent quality of Chris’s work process. An enthusiastic, clear, and patient teacher, he also empowered me and my co-workers to confidently manage the website. From beginning to end, we felt his respect for our work and his commitment to dreaming and creating with us, in collaboration.”
As a 100% volunteer led nonprofit, taking our website to the next level was a critical investment we knew we had to make. During the interview process, we felt that Chris was our best bet and we were right! His ability to listen, seek clarity, and provide us professional insights throughout the design process was amazing. Combine this with his professional demeanor, knowledge, skills, and use of best practices has built our capacity to keep our site fresh in better serving our stakeholders in the coming months and years.”
Chris did a fantastic job with his revamp of our website. It’s crisper, more modern, and easier to navigate. We’ve gotten nothing but compliments about it. What visitors to the site don’t see is how wonderful Chris is to work with. He listened to what we needed and made the process easy and affordable, a real win-win for a small nonprofit like ours!”
Chris’ work from 2016-2021 was instrumental in helping NC Health News transform itself from something that definitely looked like a blog to a news website that had polish and style. He worked with us on designing something that looked professional and helped our readers find stories more easily.
But, really, it was behind the scenes that Chris was a superstar. He made himself available and always set reasonable expectations on timelines and delivery. Working with him was seamless and smooth, problems were addressed promptly and additions made on a reasonable timeline with minimal fuss.
While I like my current platform, I do miss Chris’ customer service, always done with a smile and a sense of humor. I can’t recommend Chris’ services more highly to build your business’ website and manage your online presence!
