About

Meet Chelsea Guffogg

Founder and lead developer, Guffogg Consulting Group

Web developer, UX/UI designer, and HubSpot specialist helping organizations build websites, marketing systems, and digital experiences that work together, from the first wireframe through launch and beyond.

The story

From outdoor educator to tech partner

Chelsea built her early career in outdoor and experiential education. As a field instructor at SOAR, an outdoor education boarding school, she guided students through unfamiliar terrain, adventurous activities, and at times academics, and was promoted to director of regional programs, leading the staff and operations behind those experiences. That work built a calm, solution-oriented approach: spot the challenge early, communicate clearly, and keep the people involved at the center.

She brought that mindset into UX/UI design, then web development, and founded Guffogg Consulting Group to give clients one partner for both their website and the marketing systems behind it.

Today her work spans website design and development on platforms like WordPress and HubSpot, HubSpot setup and optimization, email design and automation, SEO, content marketing, and ongoing site care, plus travel planning as a Fora advisor. Whatever the project, the goal stays the same: thoughtful, reliable work that helps clients grow, for organizations ranging from small local teams to enterprise brands.

What carries over

Lessons from the backcountry

Clear communication

Plain-language updates, documented decisions, and no surprises from kickoff to launch.

People-first thinking

Every layout and workflow starts with the people who will use it, from site visitors to the team behind it.

Calm under pressure

Change requests and tight deadlines handled with flexibility and a steady plan.

Beyond work

Off the clock

When she’s not building websites, Chelsea is usually out on a trail. Hiking, camping, and exploring new places with her family and dog are her favorite ways to recharge, and a lifelong love of travel carries straight into her work as a Fora advisor. Back home, you’ll find her with a good book in hand or gathered with friends and family, already planning the next adventure.
