The Situation

A founder had a good product but a website that didn't match. They knew their offering was solid, but every time they shared their site, they'd wince a little.

What Wasn't Working

  • Site looked generic, like dozens of competitors
  • Didn't communicate quality or credibility
  • Visitors weren't sticking around
  • Past dev experiences meant constant back-and-forth
  • Technical decisions felt overwhelming
  • No clear vision of what better looked like

The Real Issue

No detailed brief. No moodboard. Just a gut feeling that their brand deserved better, without knowing what better actually looked like.

The problem wasn't code or pixels. It was the disconnect between what they pictured and what existed.

My Approach

How we got from scattered thoughts to something solid

01

Started with Clarity

No mockups yet. Just conversations about what feeling they wanted visitors to have. What matters most to their business? What should someone think in those first few seconds?

02

Designed for Humans

Static pages are boring. I built an experience with animations that feel natural, spacing that breathes, and interactions that guide without getting in the way.

03

Built to Last

Picked tools that prioritize clean code and performance. No need to rebuild in two years. Just room to grow and iterate.

04

Handled the Hard Stuff

They ran their business. I handled the tech decisions, explained things in plain English, and didn't overwhelm them with choices they didn't need to make.

What Changed

Beyond just a new website

1Site actually reflects what they do
2Looks professional without being stuffy
3First impressions are now positive
4People take the brand more seriously
5Easy to add features later
6They're proud to share the link

The biggest shift was their confidence. They're actually proud to share their website now.

Why This Matters

This is the work I enjoy most. It's not about fancy features or trendy animations. It's about closing the gap between what someone pictures in their head and what actually shows up on screen.

From rough ideas to real products

From uncertainty to confidence

Good design sense plus solid engineering plus actually listening to people. That's how you turn a headache into something you're genuinely proud of.

Have a Rough Idea?

I help businesses figure out what they actually need and then build it. No jargon, no unnecessary complexity. Just a website that works and feels right.
