About Us

Welcome!  My name is Dorene Hartford and I am the owner and virtual business consultant behind The Essential Desk — thank you for taking the time to visit my site!  Our goal at The Essential Desk is to help you with the “essential” functions of your business, so that you have the time to do the work that most matters in your business — the work that you love to do.

With over 20 years of business support experience in both education and legal industries, our goal at The Essential Desk is to provide a wide array of offerings to professional service organizations, including administrative support, branding, content management, among many others.  Our primary focus, however, is on the design and maintenance of small business WordPress websites.  Please feel free to visit our “Services” page for additional information on how we can help you in your business success!

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss how The Essential Desk can assist you, please reach out via our contact page, via email at dorene@theessentialdesk.com, or we can have a chat — book a discovery call with me by clicking on the button below.  I look forward to hearing from you!
