Work Experience Summary: SERVICES

For me business is about providing an honest, personal and quality service, delivering 100% satisfaction and building trusting relationships that stand the test of time. My philosophy is simple; I say what I do and I do what I say.

Good design isn't just about making something look pretty, it's about communicating the right values, aspirations, and the right voice to the intended audience. Starting out with good design is like giving your child the best possible start in life.

Sure, bad design can look pretty on paper, but made without thought or reason and it may target the wrong demographic, give off negative messages or just confuse the audience. These are things every business owner wants to avoid, but unfortunately it's what a lot of them get without really realising it.

A good designer will approach each job from an artistic sense, as well as (if not more so) from a commercially viable sense, and I think that's the one thing that separates good design from bad, and good business from bad business.

As a designer, my pleasure often comes weeks, months or even years after a project has been completed. It's only then that we can both look back and see what a positive difference good design has made to their business.

Website Maintenance & Monitoring

You have a website but it hasnt been updated in well...forever, not only does this make your business look bad it actually puts visitors off! If you're planning to update your website's content frequently, I will recommend including a Content Management System (CMS) to your website so that you can perform the updates yourself. However if your time is better spent concentrating on your business I have several.
