HIGH END
CREATIVE
WEBSITES
Over 18 years in design & 6 years in front-end website design, I’m here to make sure your product works and your website sells.
UI/UX Experience
It's my responsibility for designing your project with the right interactive interface, icons, logo, buttons, and other related elements. This is to ensure I create a user-friendly and appealing layout. The UX part is more on the side of logical thinking and creating wireframe structures or low-fidelity artwork.
Google My Business
Most clients don't realize just how important GMB will be for your website and business going forward. It's crucial to make sure you are linked and synced perfectly.Â
Front End Website Design
Creating user personas' and low fidelity artwork is just the beginning, and only then the design process can start. Design goes hand in hand with UI/UX to ensure a beautiful yet responsive website. Eye-catching but also accessible to everyone, even to someone with disabilities.
Web Development
Your website will either have your audience engaged or leaving. I can design and develop WordPress, Shopify and Webflow websites for any company. This includes research for user personas, competitors and styling where necessary.

High Standarts
You have a website but it's not performing?
Remember, your website is never finished and it's super important to do a website audit at least twice a year (or even more) to see how your website is performing and what your are client's experiencing.
Is your website user friendly? Do they have easy access to what they are looking for?
Look at the performance of your website. This can be done by crawling your website and reviewing the hotspots on your website to pull data on why your visitors are leaving and not becoming clients.
Focus on People
Your website needs to focus on people. You do need clients to purchase, but always remember they are people first and clients later. Connect with them on a supportive level and this will instill trust, and trust leads to buyers.
Different Thinking
Your website has never been more important then now. For a long time social media has dominated, and now even more so. The thing is, social media can only do so much, and it still links back to your website. Think outside the box and be creative, strategic but also on point and energetic. Don't be scared to be different, as different is good and sets you apart from your competitors!Â
The Sad Truth
The truth is that there is so much involved with a single website, that most clients opt for a cheaper quote, cheaper website and ending up wasting years of money on ads, but never making it. Key examples you need for your website:
- SEO done properly throughout your website
- Meta Data on your website - Crucial
- Copy is KING!Â
- GMB Needs to be added to ensure you are ranking
- Social media links are more important than you know
- Depending on your website, the right security and plugins
- Quality artwork - If your product looks bad then the service will be expected to be equally so
- Backlinks - cannot stress enough how important this is, which leads me to the next...
- Blogs and Articles which are credible and authentic
- Proper Headings (SEO)
- Proper CTA - Easy to navigate through the website
- East contact information & stop the too many pop-up ads while clients are visiting your website. You can always place in a call to action a few seconds before they leave to prompt the call to action and this will be less distracting and less annoying.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Unfortunately not. I’m a online only graphic designer. All of my meetings are run through Google meets, however I’m open to any other platforms if needed.
From the first meeting to the brief and final approval, each project really depends on the project itself. A logo design could take 2 weeks with or without a Brand Guide, however if there are some changes then that might effect the timeline. Each project will have a timeline, and hopefully each project goes according to plan, be it cannot always be guaranteed.Â
Yes, I’m very well connected to offer a brilliant copywriter, campaign manager to manage your monthly social media as well as to engage with your followers. You don’t have time, so why not give a full-time project to someone that’s well equipped to do so.
I do not, however I do recommend a great hosting provider, as they are the best with communication and getting back to you urgently with any complications.
Once we’ve had our first meeting and the project starts please remember that depending on the project, for new projects I would need information and for existing collateral I would need all open files. This will be commutated clearly with each meeting or email response.
I always plan out my days the week before. Depending on my calendar I usually may be able to assist within the next 24 to 48 hours. This also depends on the scope of the project. Small changes to an existing project will take priority to make sure there are no delays to the client.
