Web Design & Development
Combining art and technology to create responsive, intuitive and aesthetically intelligent digital experiences.
My expertise for web design and development is strongest served through Shopify and Squarespace.
Whether you’re looking for innovative ways to serve your retail customers, or just simply need a website to showcase your portfolio, these platforms are likely to be your best bet. Other website builders, in my experience, are clunky and hard to learn whereas with Shopify for retail, or Squarespace for display, you’re going to be in good hands as far as customer service, management, and user friendliness.
How I can help…
Consulting
Shopify and Squarespace are my platforms of choice to serve my clients. I am a certified Shopify Partner and Squarespace Circle Member. Through utilizing these platforms, I find my clients are able to maximize their ideas (whether simple or complex), meet specific business needs, deliver their clients and customers an intuitive, functional and user-centric experience.
Migration
I am able to work with clients who are looking to transfer their customer and order information from other, outdated sales platforms to Shopify or Squarespace. I am happy to take on this overwhelming process and ensure that the transfer of your customer, order and product data is streamlined and stress-free, no matter which platform you are migrating from.
Design
My passion is the creation of beautiful website experiences that are reflective of the brand and owner’s overall vision. Through diligent research and experience in the luxury and high end demographics, I have learned what’s necessary to be able to take my client’s wishes and make them a reality, while also creating an exceptional user experience.
Development
I am a fully-self-taught web developer. Using the latest platform updates, best practices and web development standards to deliver luxury experiences that will ensure your website lasts decades. I take exceptional measures to ensure that your new website is fast, future-proof, user-friendly, and accessible on the latest popular devices.
Training
I work with a lot of new business owners who are just starting out in their industry. With time comes success and that means knowing how to manage your store and orders with streamlined efficiency and a basic understanding of the backend of your Shopify website. I provide my client’s post-project with video tutorials, screen share meetings and instructional PDF’s so they’re able to reference multiple platforms to understand how their new website works.
Support
Great support is important. I will remain available throughout the week of your launch to provide guidance and assistance as needed. I also offer our ongoing retainer services to continue optimization, improve user experience based on analytics, and help grow your online brand together.
Secondary Design & Development Support
Supporting Development
I frequently collaborate with some of the best business consultants and PR agencies to offer web development for existing websites, or pre-designed concepts. If you have a project in development where you need an experienced Shopify web developer to assist with your project, look no further.
Ongoing Optimization
I offer ongoing support to my existing clients who are looking for maintenance of their website. I am able to work with you on a monthly basis as an extension of your team to deliver designs, development and creative consultation services. This ensures the quality of your website and brand positioning for the long-term.
The Investment
No two brands are the same (or at least, they shouldn’t be…) so I find it best to approach each project on an individual basis.
