Website Design & Build
“Make it simple, but significant.”
– Don Draper, Mad Men
How is the user experience on your website?
What is the most important reason a client would visit your website? Figure that out and then make it easy to find. Most of us know the frustration of not being able to find the information you are seeking on a website. Well-organized navigation and user flow are essential for a positive client experience. That’s why we will always start with a flow chart to make sure your content placement is well-thought-out from a user perspective.

“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.”
– Jeffrey Zeldman
Content first, then design.
Designing without content is designing in a vacuum — trying to put together the puzzle with none of the pieces. If you design first, then when the actual content comes, chances are nothing fits together right. It is a symbiotic relationship. My job is pulling all the pieces together.
Professional images and and engaging words upscale your message.
Professional copywriters and photographers will be able to align your images and words to your core values and brand promise.
It can be hard to bring together all you need to say and how to say it, but much easier to refine after a first draft from a professional writer. Conversely you may want to write your own first draft and then have the professional do the editing and make suggestions for what is missing.
A skilled photographer knows how to help put you at ease to get shots that capture the real you. And they will also make sure your products are seen in their best light (and that’s not ugly fluorescent bulbs in the office)!
My website design does not include custom photography or copywriting, but I can recommend some very talented people — and I will conceptualize with them to make sure our work is cohesive.
