A Good User Experience Ensures Repeat Visitors

Mobile phones released in Japan in the early 2000’s had more features than the first iPhone. Yet, today the iPhone is the number one phone in Japan. The reason? A good user experience(UX). To consumers, it’s not about more features; it’s about an easy to use and enjoyable experience. The same principle applies to websites. Website UX has many parts including your site's branding, usability, information architecture, functionality, content, images and iconography. It is the sum total of all these parts that add up to an overall experience that keeps your website visitors coming back.

Your Website Has Less Than a Second
to Make an Impression

According to a Carlton University study visitors to your website take less than a second to decide if they like your site or not. Rightly or wrongly, the quality of your website design directly affects how much business your company may or may not land. This is where most companies offering SEO services fail. While they may have a solid understanding of search engine optimization they deliver poorly designed websites. And if you go to a design agency you’ll find that they provide beautifully designed websites but they typically have a superficial understanding of SEO. I aim to provide both - an attractive website built upon a solid SEO strategy.

Future Proof Your Website with Responsive Design

HTML5 and CSS3 icons

It is predicted that 2014 is the year that more people will access websites from tablets and mobile phones than from desktop computers. With this in mind, I design my websites with a mobile first approach. This means that I design how the website will look like on a smart device first and then create the desktop version. The technology that makes this possible is HTML5 and CSS3. The design approach is called responsive design. Responsive design means that your website will look good no matter what device your visitors are using and it eliminates the need for a separate mobile version of your site or a smart phone app version of your site.
