What Makes a Good Web Designer?
A good web designer is not just someone who can create visually appealing websites. A good web designer is someone who understands the importance of user experience, accessibility, and functionality. I’ll work with you to bring your web design vision to life.
Knowledge of Web Design Principles
A good web designer must have a solid understanding of design principles.
They must know how to use color, typography, layout, and other design elements to create a visually appealing website that is easy to navigate.

User experience is critical when it comes to web design.
A good web designer must understand the needs and expectations of the users who will be interacting with the website.
They should be able to design websites that are intuitive, easy to navigate, and provide a seamless user experience. This means taking into account factors such as load times, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility.
Ability to Code
While design skills are essential, a good web designer must also have coding skills.
They should be proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other programming languages necessary for building and maintaining a website.
This ensures that they can bring their design concepts to life and create websites that function as intended.

Creativity
A good web designer must be creative and have the ability to think outside the box.
They should be able to come up with unique design solutions that reflect a client’s brand and business objectives.

This attention to detail ensures that the website not only looks great but also functions flawlessly.

From My Web Design Clients
Kegan & Tim have been awesome to work with. Kegan redesigned our website that hadn’t been touched since the early 90s (cringe). It looks great! He set it up with WordPress & walked us through how to easily make changes & updates.
