is changing the digital landscape of the St. Petersburg area one website at a time.

Taylor Smith is the founder and CEO of TTC Agency (Taylor the Creator Agency), a creative studio and digital strategy partner that designs websites for non-profits, educators, and institutions. Since starting her business in 2020, Smith has single-handedly designed and remastered over 140 websites for organizations.

“I started out just building websites, but as my clients’ websites grew, so did their needs. Now, I don’t just build websites — I build digital ecosystems that help my clients and organizations run a lot smoother,” said Smith.

As a digital marketing strategist and web systems manager, Smith noted that creating websites is just one aspect of the job. The web developer is also adept at database management, system configuration, mobile optimization, launch support, and more. With her expertise, Smith turns “digital chaos” into clarity.

“In a nutshell, a lot of organizations don’t necessarily need more tools; they just need them structured, clarified, and then a system to keep those tools working,” Smith explained.

The TTC Agency works with Hypatia Collaborative, a shared service organization that partners vetted contractors to nonprofits, legal services, financial management programs, and more. Recent web design works from the TTC Agency include The Deuces Live, Inc., and St. Petersburg International Folk Fair Society, Inc. (SPIFFS). In addition to her partnerships, the web agency is a registered, licensed vendor on Sam.gov, the official US government system for contracting.

Smith has a background in education and taught for four years at the Weinberg Early Learning Center at The Temple, based in Atlanta. She worked as an English language arts substitute in the Clearwater school system and received her master’s in professional writing, with a minor in technical writing from Kennesaw State University.

Passionate about representation and access, Smith ties her own educational journey into web design in her published book, “Tech is Magic: Tech Tales & Activities for Curious Kids.” This STEM-themed children’s book introduces the world of technology to young minds with vivid illustrations that spark their imaginations.

“I want technology to not be intimidating for kids. It’s really about representation, confidence, and showing kids they’re not just users and consumers of technology, but that they can create too,” Smith said.

Smith’s book is integrated into both Canguros’ preschool & private school, and Children Read Atlanta. A sequel is in development, but until its release, you can purchase it on her site.

Introduction to technology isn’t limited to young children alone. Through its newsletter, Tech Queens Weekly, the TTC Agency provides educational and informational sessions exploring AI.

For more information about the TTC Agency’s services and how to book a consultation, you can find her work on her official website.
