I have a rare blend of graphic design and web development expertise that gives me the capability to build complex and custom websites and features for my clients.
When designing and building a website, landing page, web ad or social media graphic, I always start with a dialog with you. What do you need the web to be for your business? That’s a big question, one that may need to be answered by several smaller ones. Once we establish your needs, I get to work on the visual design, and when everybody is happy with the “look and feel” of it, I fully develop the functionality, test and prepare it to go live.
If you have your own web development team, you might just want to hire me to do the visual design for your site. I can wireframe, design the user interface (GUI) look and feel and then hand it off to your developers to code and implement. All layered Photoshop and Illustrator files, graphics and fonts will be delivered with the finished product.
Why WordPress? Why not WordPress? A quality WordPress website is a powerful thing. Not only do WordPress websites offer a variety of options, they’re so user-friendly that the average person can easily manage their own website content.
WordPress is web software you can use to create a highly functional website or blog. WordPress started as a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system (CMS) and so much more through the thousands of plugins, widgets, and themes. The core web design software is built by hundreds of community volunteers, and when you’re ready for more there are thousands of plugins and themes available to transform your site into almost anything you can imagine.
Over 25 million people have chosen WordPress to power their website or blog. Most notable users of WordPress include the likes of CNN, The New York Times, Katy Perry, The Ford Story, Wheaton College, MTV Newsroom, Mashable, and WSJ Magazine.
Already have a website? Converting your site to WordPress is a great opportunity to reevaluate the design and format of your site. I can help you streamline your website, making it fresher, more user-friendly, and more eye-catching. WordPress is an ideal platform for letting your business shine.
Search Engine Optimization
Google, the number one search engine, has come out in support of WordPress websites. WordPress makes it easy for search engines to scan your site for content. Each page, post and image has its own meta tag keywords, description and title. WordPress SEO allows you to optimize with specific keywords. This makes WordPress search engine friendly, and gives you a fighting chance against the thousands of websites out there.
Mobile-Friendly
Smartphones and tablets are popular devices for consuming web content. Consequently, small businesses should consider deploying responsive WordPress website designs that display correctly on smaller devices and open up new avenues to acquire traffic, leads and customers. Responsive WordPress designs adjust your site to fit the screen of devices of various sizes and meet Google’s Mobile-Friendly Site Requirements (for mobile-friendly Google search results).
eCommerce
Don’t settle for an ugly or overpriced ecommerce website design. The truth is that snap judgments are a fact of life. And they have huge implications in the digital world. How your ecommerce website functions and looks plays a key role in whether or not people trust your business enough to buy your products. You only get one chance to impress shoppers, making your ecommerce website design extremely important. I am here to provide you with unique, personalized designs that not only builds your brand, but boost sales and creates lasting customer relationships.
Visual Design & Redesign
Your website’s design influences how people view your company. It is a representation of your company and people use it to make a split second decision: whether your company is credible, authoritative, and trustworthy. My designs can help strengthen your brand and optimize your online business performance. I can create unique visual designs that work hand in hand, not only on your online and print materials, but with your overall marketing strategy.
Product and Event Landing Pages
A landing page is simply defined as a one-page website built to deliver a marketing message and/or highly relevant information about a company’s products/services. I develop landing pages that will clearly deliver your message and display your products/services. My landing pages are designed to be concise and relevant. Using the principles of design, I utilize images and graphics to immediately capture the user’s attention and drive them to take action. All of my landing pages are designed to stimulate online sales.
Social Media Graphics
If you’re a new brand starting out, or an existing one looking to improve your social media strategy, visual content will help establish your online identity. Between Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+, almost three billion people are active social media users. So how can you leverage them to your business? The answer is simple – by creating interesting and engaging social media graphics. I can design custom images for your business or organization that can be used on any social network.
Localized Websites
Website localization adapts your website to the local language or languages of your target demographic. A multilingual website can expand your market boundaries in a number of ways and is not just a simple text translation. Differences in measurement and monetary systems must be adapted for the target country. Images are similarly updated to reflect the cultural norms of the target market. I can help you meet the demands of today’s global marketplace by overcoming communication barriers with accurate translations and interpretations.
