Web Design

User-Centric Design

Stellar web design puts users first. By focusing on intuitive navigation and a seamless user experience, I can make your visitors stick around longer, engage more, and ultimately convert into loyal customers. Ultimately, it’s not just about looking good – it’s also about feeling right. Notably, I have been Head of Design at 2 digital agencies, specialising in User Experience (UX) Design.

Responsive and Mobile-Friendly

In a world where people are glued to their smartphones, having a mobile-friendly website isn’t optional—it’s mandatory. I’ll make sure your site looks and functions beautifully on any device, be it a 27-inch monitor or a 5-inch smartphone screen. This versatility will broaden your reach and keep your audience engaged, no matter how they access your content.

SEO Optimised

Ultimately, a beautiful website is worthless if no one can find it. Therefore, by incorporating the latest SEO best practices into the design process, I’ll help your website rank higher in search engine results. This means more organic traffic, more visibility, and ultimately, more business for you without the constant need for paid advertising.

My Web Design Approach

1. Discovery and Strategy

Firstly, I kick off with in-depth research and strategy sessions to understand your brand, goals, and audience. I will look at your current brand guidelines, or help you form them if you don’t already have them. This foundation will then guide every design decision for the website. 

2. Design and Prototype

Next, I will create Wireframes and Prototypes that prioritise usability and aesthetics, and then facilitate feedback loops to ensure alignment with your vision. Furthermore, as an experienced Brand Designer & Branding Consultant, I will identify ways to bring your story to life through the website design.

3. Development and Launch

Finally, with meticulous web development and industry best practices, your website will be developed upon the most popular CMS for your needs. In addition, rigorous testing is carried out, which will ensure a smooth and  impactful launch.

Web Design Mistakes

Ignoring User Feedback

Overlooking user input can lead to designs that miss the mark. Therefore, iterative testing and adjustments are essential.

Overcomplicating the Interface

A cluttered design overwhelms users. Thus, it is important to keep it clean and straightforward for the best user experience.

Neglecting Mobile Optimisation

Notably, with a significant chunk of traffic coming from mobile, failing to optimise for smaller screens is a cardinal sin. Therefore, always design with mobile in mind.
