What I do best

Making your business better in the most constructive and proactive way. Striving to create innovative solutions going beyond the box. I do not stop till I achieve my goals, every situation is different often requiring a tailored solution.

Enhancing user satisfaction by improving the usability, accessibility and satisfaction provided in the interaction between the user and the product. UX Design to me means doing things in the most correct and easily directed way to allow humans an easy, pleasant experience. Over the years I have provided my UX Design expertise creating in-depth wireframes for web sites as well as mobile apps which can be seen in my portfolio.

Taking an idea and developing it into a visual experience is fundamentally what graphic design is. First impressions and capturing the attention of your audience is everything. That is why I strive to provide innovative, sleek and targeted imagery designed to take your content to the next level.

Every business needs their own online strategy to succeed in todays’ markets. WordPress has become the industry standard when it comes to modern web development, due to the ease of its content management to create and maintain. My goal is always to create a mobile ready interface just like this one with incredible SEO integration with Google. Other important online strategies are use of HTML emails to target audiences.

I have worked in the print aspect of design fort many years. Using Indesign as the primary tool to create product catalogues, business cards, flyers and other collateral some of which that can be seen in my portfolio section. There are many techniques that can be used to create specific effects or results.

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), is a crucial in creating exposure for your website. Having good SEO means your website has been able to integrate with search engines like Google’s algorithms. Determining the correct SEO for your site is crucial to your success. This means matching relevant search terms that will integrate your site with search engines such as Google. Doing this properly takes an understanding, of how people work and how search patterns and algorithms change.

Creating functional Websites

Become found online, or upgrade your site, it’s never too late to start. Having a modern website in today’s ever-evolving online world is a must- especially for small businesses selling products and services. A good online presence gives your clients all the information and services they need, providing an easy pleasant experience. This where User Experience(UX) comes into play.

Mobile versions of the website is the first thing that must be considered for most products and designed first, as they are more likely to be used than desktops in most cases.
