Design & Development on Squarespace

websites

I regularly work with Squarespace as a website design and development tool. It provides a fantastic platform for creating great-looking, functional, and responsive websites, that are also very easy to manage for my clients. That said, I will always assess your needs as a client, and utilize the most appropriate solution. For projects that need a greater level of complexity in the build, I may use Webflow, and for extensive e-commerce, Shopify may be the solution for you. Schedule a call with me to discuss your needs.

Logos & design

branding

From colours to logos and graphics, I work with clients to develop a design language for their brand or company. The branding must speak to what you do and your values, and clearly pass this message on to your clients, that’s why I work very closely to learn this for myself before picking up pen and paper (or digital pen and paper). Set up a call to learn more.

Copywriting & Content Strategy

content

Content is really important. It is the building block that the user experience and design rely on to tell your story. I spend time with every client making sure that we get the content stretegised and written to a high level before starting any work on the design of the website. This sometimes just involves me, and other times involves a specialist content strategist and copywriter, which will depend wholly on your needs. Set up a call to learn more.

Website user experience & interaction

ux/ui

How a website user interacts with a company online is heavily influenced by the way the page is laid out and the way that the content and design interact. We always want to consider two things; what a user may be looking for on your website; and what you want that user to do on your website. Creating a balance of these two things will make the user happy, stay on your website longer and most importantly make it to the point where they complete one of the websites end goals (fill out a form, sign up for emails, make a purchase, etc.).
