I'd been noodling a new website for ages, flip flopping between designing one myself and hiring someone to do it for me. I knew I wanted the Showit platform, so about a year ago, I looked through bunches of design templates, really liking two from Swoone. I even went so far as to call them and talk about how easy it would be for me to create a site myself. Suffering from analysis paralysis as well as time constraints, I never went through with purchasing one. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, and I was ready. Never one to go the easy route and just go back to the designs I’d liked before, I had to know all of my options. Every. Single. One. I scoured the Showit designs and looked at each designer’s template options, again loving those from Swoone. Although I’d initially planned to purchase a template and design my new site myself, I quickly realized that in order for me to get exactly what I wanted (I’m extremely persnickety.) that it would be smarter to hire a Swoone designer to customize one instead. The design process was fantastic and FAST. Two weeks before our scheduled design week, Matt sent me homework. I had to map out what my vision was for the site based on my initial template. I had plenty of freedom to add ideas, show other sample sites I liked, and dream a bit. My previous site was mainly a gallery website, so the hardest part of this process was creating brand new copy and picking the images I wanted to include. Once Design Week arrived, Matt took all of my ideas and content, swirled it with his ideas, design skills, and some pixie dust, and POOF, we had a beautiful first draft. Over the course of the week, we had several Zoom calls where we tweaked, changed, and polished it, with Matt encouraging me to be as particular as I wanted. I loved that he was as detail oriented as I am. I could not be more thrilled with my website and the entire design process. Matt was AMAZING. He took something that I’d been agonizing over and made it completely FUN. From start to finish he was responsive, informative, and wildly creative. He is as persnickety as I am and that takes some doing. I now have a website to which I am proud to direct clients, that truly represents my brand and my photography work. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. Yes, for sure, call me Swooned. More...

I was burned in the past from a former website designer so my skepticism in finding a new designer definitely was putting a dent in my decision making until I spoke with Matt. I was referred to Swoone/La Lune by a colleague and I loved their simple yet modern designs. Matt scheduled a video call with me to go over the process and answer all my questions (I had a lot!) I knew as soon as we spoke he was the correct choice. From the minute we hung up, he had sent over a plan and a very detailed timeline for our process. Matt was SUPER communicative and present for all my concerns/questions. He provided a detailed questionnaire that really kept me on track as well as 4 live revisions that let us both work together in a smoother easier work flow. I still can not believe I had a full site rebuild in ONE WEEK! Yes I could not believe my eyes when I initially read that, but due to Matt's diligence, communication and organization it was a complete success! I HIGHLY recommend Matt! He made the whole experience super seamless. I could not have had a better person to work on this project. More...
