What makes a great website?
It should reflect everything you want potential customers to know and remember about your business, service or products. It should be quick and accessible on a wide range of devices. It should have clear navigation and also a simple way to be maintained and updated.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is/are the primary goals for the website?
Who is the intended visitor?
What do you want them to do?
What is the budget?
Describe your creative process.
I start with an interview with the client to understand the information that surrounds the project (to put it into perspective).
Then discuss technical ideas and put them into context with the proposed budget.
Then move on to jotting down some ideas and discussing with the client some concepts on theme, colour, style, voice and structure
I then go and prepare some visuals (appropriate to the project) and discuss these with client in order to organise the final approved design.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
A budget
A timeline of start to finish,
A brief, concise & relative to the project - so it is clear what is actually required, by whom and by when
What do you love most about your job?
The freedom to tackle varied projects and the satisfaction received from clients at the project completion.
Also in many cases a continued business relationship.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having spent many years as graphics apprentice and then within several corporate environments - I found that the freedom to handle a range of projects is far easier and more satisfying when you are in control and not dictated by politics.
