Longford Website Design
About Me
I started my career after being asked to design a website with no experience in web design or WordPress, and well the rest is history.
My Passion and Hawking Design
When I was younger I thought that I wasn’t very creative and completely useless at drawing or sketching, the latter being very true.
I didn’t know about my untapped potential until I found a platform where I could translate those ideas into reality.
That’s when I discovered web design…
WordPress Web Design
As a techy person I easily figured out WordPress and started experimenting and learning. Initially, things didn’t look very good but as I persevered and kept going, things started to be more appealing.
Since I never studied design or coding I had to learn everything on my own. This was not a short process and I’m always learning and that’s what I love about my work! You can look at some of it in my portfolio section.
Getting a bit personal
Things I Love
Coffee
There is nothing better then some great coffee
Food
I love food and I’m a home cook. If that’s not a classic combo I don’t know what is!
The Outdoors
Camping, Evening BBQs and such help me to go offline from my very much connected lifestyle
Exercise
Running, Weightlifting, Surfing, Climbing, Ice Skating, name anything and I’ve probably done it

My Workflow
I always follow specific steps when I’m working on a design project. In this way I can keep everything organised and I discuss which direction we are taking the website.
- Preparation
- Design
- Development
- Details
Before I start anything I want to be sure I know exactly what my client is looking for.
I ask questions regarding the business or what the website is to accomplish. Do they have any design ideas or features that they would like to be implemented etc.
After I have a rough understanding of the client’s needs and wants I can start designing the first part of the website.
When it’s a big project I always start with wireframing. This is the process where I design in grey, without using colours, images and styling options. Then I share this design with my client and when they agreed I continue with the visual design. This is where I will add details and make it come to live.
When we are both happy with the initial drafts I begin sharing preview links and updates regularly so my client can suggest changes as we go, this increases effieicency
Then I will start creating the pages one by one and send my client preview links along the process. This makes it easy to get feedback for me and assures my client that they get the things that they want.
After all the pages are developed inside of WordPress I share a final preview link to my client. We will look at the result and edit any details to make the website perfect.
After confirmations are made we go live! I always offer basic complimentary speed optimization and SEO. I offer advanced SEO and Speed Optimization as services separately.
