What makes a great website?
A great website will be simple and clean, individual but recognisable, it will be intuitive and lead customers to where you want them to be.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is your business?
Who are your customers/ demographic?
What do you want your website/ logo/ branding to do for you?
Would you want to manage the website yourself, or would you like it fully managed?
Describe your creative process.
Each process is bespoke to my clients needs. I like to get a full understanding of what my client is looking for and generate ideas from there.
To do this I will start off with competitor research and create a mood/ ideas board where I can find inspiration and build upon this whilst keeping in constant communication with my clients to ensure we are always following the same path.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
The scope of the project
The aim of the project (Ecommerce, Information, Blog, etc)
Business information
Customer Demographic
What do you love most about your job?
I love being creative and using my years of experience to help other people acheive their goals. Through Design and Development, I get a constant thrill by offering a skill set which can help take peoples businesses into a whole new domain.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The idea of no creative restrictions beyond what a client desires. The freedom of utilizing multiple technolgies and not being tied to corporate contracts. The freedom to offer my customers a full service instead of a time slot.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am focussed and dedicated. I understand the importance of a client brief and am happy to advise if requested. I see everything I create as a statement of my abilities, so ensure that everything is the best it can possibly be.
Web Design/ Development
I create UI/ UX centric websites which will help your brand stand out, whilst also offering a sense of familiarity for your customers.
All of my websites are fully responsive so they look equally good on any device (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet or mobile).
Using a wide range of tools including the Adobe Creative Suite, Wordpress, Woo Commerce and Divi to name a few, I can ensure, you will have a visually stunning, bespoke website which not only looks fantastic, but is also designed to deliver your brands message at every possible point; whether this is sales for an ecommerce site, or information for a business site, your message will be forefront in the mind of the user.
Web Hosting
Alongside the design and creation of the website, I can also offer a hosting service to ensure your site is always live, stable and secure.
By using a hosting provider who prioritise security and speed, all data is stored on encrypted SSD hard drives ensuring your information will be visible to the customer as quickly as possible without any down time.
Website Management
As with any business, your website will require regular updates and maintenance to ensure it is in the best possible health, and to make sure search engines are choosing you over your competitors.
Although I offer to train you on website management once the site is complete, if you don’t have the time to manage your website alongside your day to day tasks, I can take the hassle away from you and manage the site on your behalf.
Web Management covers 2 areas:
General Site Health Care
- Making sure your site is always live
- Updating any tools used by the site to make sure it is secure
- Checking and defending against any malicious activity
- Yearly site review and refresh
Bespoke Management
- Order Management
- Blog Creation and Posting
- SEO Optimization
- Comment Administration
- And much more
Social Media Management
Alongside Web Management, I also offer Social Media management as an option.
This again, is invaluable to the success of the site and can be managed by yourself. However, as mentioned above, it can be time consuming and distracting when taking you away from your day-to-day tasks.
Social Media Management is an entirely bespoke service depending on your business and your business’s needs.
The platforms I currently assist with include:
Linked In
Instagram
Pintrest
Facebook
Twitter
But if there is a specific area of Social Media where you feel would help you reach your goals, I would be happy to discuss.
Social Media Management includes:
Content posting (the amount and content will vary case by case)
Comment Administration
Social Media Growth
And more
Logo Design & Company Branding
My Logo Design and Company Branding service is in place for either new businesses starting from scratch, or existing businesses who are looking for a refresh to help with re-engaging their customers.
The idea of this service is to ensure every aspect of your brand is instantly recognisable and coherent across all platforms.
The service includes:
Logo Design
Colour Pallet Generation
Font Design
Email Signatures
Social Media Headings
And much more
