MY PROCESS
For a standard site, my process is as simple as 1-2-3.
Discovery. This is where we discuss the scope of the site, existing or desired branding and the aesthetic you want to portray.
Design, Since I design on existing CMS, I will create a staging link so you can view the site and provide input. You'll send me feedback, and I'll send you revisions, and we'll keep doing that until the design is complete.
Deploy. This is where I deal with the backend. Here I'll make sure all SEO standards are met, all links and forms are functional, any requested social media is connected properly and test on a variety of screens and browsers. You can test it and make any final changes and then I'll push the site live.
Owner. Design Geek.
I am a proud woman-owned business owner focused on working with like-minded individuals and entrepreneurs. I combine my professional background in business, finance and art to deliver websites that are beautiful, results driven and user friendly. I understand that your site has a job to do whether it’s sales, bookings, likes or signups; and my job is to listen to you to incorporate your priorities into the design.
I work with existing Content Management Systems (CMS) such as Squarespace (7.0, 7.1 and Fluid Engine), WordPress/Elementor, and Wix. My focus is on beautiful, clean digital experiences that are easy and affordable to maintain.
