Website Design
Do you need a new website design to make your blog reflect your awesome personality? Are you looking for a website to promote your new business, aka the best thing since sliced bread?
Whatever your reason for needing a new website design, you’ve likely ended up on this page because you need exactly that; a new site that tells everyone else how awesome your blog / gym / community project / juice bar is. Oh, and someone to create it for you.
That’s great! You’re in the right place.
I have been designing my own websites for years, ever since I got into the non-profit world and realised I needed to keep overheads to a minimum. Cue hours of self teaching and learning through coding errors, pages going down, websites crashing, links not working, colours not matching, pictures misaligning…. I could go on, but I don’t want to put you off!
Moving on, as you can tell from this, my own site, I have made it further up the learning curve (I am not sure one ever gets to the top in a game like web design). I can put together an appealing, navigable, functioning, responsive site. I’m glad you think so too 😉
Last year, I packed up my belongings and headed off to explore South Africa in a 30 year old caravan (you can read my blog posts here). I decided I loved life on the road and consequently, I realised I needed to find a way to keep the wheels turning. That’s when it hit me. Web design.
As a result, here we both are, me designing websites and you looking for a website designer. Many people would say it’s coincidence but I don’t believe in coincidences, I believe in fate.
