Designing my own website was truly a labor of love. I poured over stocksy images for hours so that I could capture the essential essence of my brand. It reflects who I am and what I believe in... spa and wellness in its most natural, beautiful and raw form. This website is also a living resume of the attention to detail and care I put into anything I do, as well as my style of copy writing. I hope it inspires and relaxes you in the same way it does me.
In my case I had to keep costs down so I managed a lot of the design and had Marc Gimbrere, my web designer, handle the technical details and coding. He also guided me through the process of meta tags, organic SEO, site silos, keywords and other web language. I love learning and this was my way of understanding the world of web design so that I can support my clients when developing theirs.
Its so important to offer navigational ease, charisma and great copy through this online forum. After all, it speaks volumes about what you can offer as a business.
I was very lucky to find a great web developer who also had an eye for design and detail. He helped me to map out a strategy in the same way any good consultant helps to guide a client through their area of expertise in a way that is easy to understand. We opted for Squarespace and 5 years on I am still very happy with having gone down this path. I find the back end really intuitive and easy to use. I also find there is a lot of freedom to work with a template and then make it your own. Plus one other important factor is that the squarespace site is mobile friendly, especially now that a growing number of people are searching and shopping online.
I love branding, design and detail so working on this website, despite being a major learning curve and taking many hours was an incredibly rewarding journey for me. I often get compliments on my website too and that is a great feeling.
Please give me a call if you would like to chat about how I can assist with your web design process.
