Design & Development

Using cutting-edge platforms, like Figma and Webflow, I create websites that are not only striking but also functional and user-friendly. Whether it's crafting captivating design or producing beautiful code with the latest web technologies, I'm dedicated to transforming ideas into impactful online solutions.

Site Migrations

Move your existing website from platforms like Wordpress or Squarespace to Webflow, my preferred cloud-based software. This includes transferring existing content, design elements, and functionality while ensuring minimal downtime, ultimately providing you with a modern, responsive, and easily editable website.

SEO Optimization

Elevate your website's performance and visibility with keyword research, on-page optimization, mobile responsiveness, social media integration, rich content, backlinks and Google Analytics. You'll see improved search engine rankings, faster loading times and an overall better user experience.

Logo Design

Enhance your brand's visual identity with a custom logo that will seamlessly compliment your website. My cohesive approach ensures that your brand not only stands out online but also leaves a lasting impression across all of your branding, making your business memorable and distinctive.

Content Creation

Connect with your audience using effective and bold messaging. I develop high-quality, engaging, and relevant content that will provide value and insight to your target audience. I'm always happy to refresh existing copy or start from scratch.

Ongoing Partnerships

Expect a lasting partnership that's built on trust and collaboration. I'll work closely with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring your website stays fresh, secure, and aligned with your evolving goals. Our journey together is all about your success.

Discovery

In the world of web design, the discovery stage is like a treasure hunt for your website's success! This is where the magic begins. I'll sit down with you, my awesome client, and chat about your business goals, project requirements, and what makes you unique. I dig deep to understand your target audience, competitors, and inspiration.

Design

I start by diving into Figma, my trusty design playground. Here, I unleash my creativity by drafting mood boards, carefully selecting fonts, and playing with color schemes. It's like painting on a canvas but with pixels! Your feedback is incredibly important because I want your website to truly resonate with you. We collaborate closely, making sure you're thrilled with my high-fidelity prototype (aka rough draft) before we proceed.

Develop

Now I head over to Webflow, my go-to development platform. The design truly starts to take shape as I translate the visual elements and user interface components into functional code. I pay careful attention to every detail, ensuring that the website not only looks fantastic but also functions flawlessly. It's a creative and technical journey where I transform my design concepts into a fully interactive and responsive site that's ready to launch.

FAQs

We'll have lots to chat about. But here are some basics to cover off.
Red arrow pointing right.
What are your fees?
Projects are all custom quoted. Simple one-page websites start at $1,100. Pricing factors may include amount of content creation, photography, complexity of design, functionality, etc.
What's your turn around time?
Most websites that are 1-3 pages will take around 6 weeks. This is somewhat dependent on the editing and revision process.
Why do you use Webflow?
I love using Webflow over platforms like Squarespace, Wix, and WordPress. Why? Well, Webflow gives me ultimate design freedom, so I can create unique, custom websites without being tied down by templates. There are no coding limitations, which is a big deal for clients needing special features. The platform's efficiency, advanced interactions and animations, robust CMS features, and hosting control make my job easier. Plus, it's great for client collaboration and education. In a nutshell, Webflow helps me deliver top-notch, tailor-made websites that stand out from the crowd.
What if I need to make changes or additions?
If the changes will be ongoing and frequent, I will likely set you up with a CMS site, so you can edit yourself. If its something small, changes are complimentary. Redesigns and new sections or pages will be quoted separately.
What if I already have a site?
If you want to stick with some or all of your current site, I can rebuild it in Webflow. Also, I'll help transfer the domains and other behind the scenes technical aspects.
Where are you based out of?
If you want to stick with some or all of your current site, I can rebuild it in Webflow. Also, I'll help transfer the domains and other behind the scenes technical aspects.
