Holistic Web & Branding
Holistic web design, authentic branding, and creative marketing strategies
for small businesses seeking sustainable growth.
Who We Are
Welcome to Prickly Pear Consulting! We’re Nora and John, best friends turned business partners with a shared passion for empowering small businesses to thrive. Our journey began with our own small business, Moody Teas. As two entrepreneurs diving headfirst into the world of branding, web design, and marketing, we quickly discovered just how challenging it could be to build an effective online presence, whether you’re just starting or a long-time owner.
After successfully building Moody Teas from the ground up, we knew we wanted to help other small businesses overcome those same challenges, with a personal touch and a deep understanding of the unique struggles entrepreneurs face. That’s why we launched Prickly Pear Consulting: a web design and marketing firm dedicated to sustainable, results-driven growth for small businesses.
We chose the name Prickly Pear Consulting because, much like the prickly pear cactus, entrepreneurship often requires a willingness to endure the hard and exhausting work that goes into building a thriving business. It’s not always easy, but with resilience and care, those efforts bloom into the sweet fruits of success. We’re here to help you along that journey, guiding you through each phase with support, insight, and a commitment to seeing you succeed.
