Web Design Process
Professional, user centered website design
I believe in creating websites that are effective, not ones that just look pretty. There is no point to an overly designed website if a user can't find some simple contact information anywhere. A professional design mixed with user-centered goals is my main focus as I design and develop your new website. The real way to measure a website is not by its design awards (which are nice) but by it's effectiveness in helping a business grow.

Your company, your website
As I work on your website, I always keep in mind that this is your website, not mine. I want it to be something you are absolutely proud of and show off to all your colleagues. You will get my professional opinion, but never an ego that will only do what I want.
Getting the project details
The most efficient way for me to get a website done is to understand who you are. Every project begins with a thorough discussion about every detail of your project from design to functionality. There is no wasted time on coming up with random design comps that are nowhere near what you like because the initial consultation will give me an clear roadmap for what you are looking for.
Understanding the audience
Who your website is intended for is a key factor in how it is designed. If you are targeting an older audience, larger fonts, less fancy graphics, and ease-of-use are some of the design elements I would incorporate. A flashy website with constantly moving objects detracts and confuses users who are trying to gather information about you and your business quickly.
Having a goal
Every website needs to serve a function beyond looking pretty. If you are selling products, you're goal is to get users to purchase your items. If you are providing services, you're goal is to get people to contact you. Designing a website that will help focus website visitors on reaching your individual goal is what I aim for.

Troy Olson of TexasIsHot.com
"After being referred to Fina by a co worker she was quick to respond to my web designs needs. She worked very hard to create my website, and build my email marketing templates. Her vision and ideas around results driven websites are like none I have ever seen, and her response time is the fastest of any vendor I have ever used. I am so lucky to have been referred to her. Fina and I continue to have a working relationship and I would not hesitate to refer her to someone I come across with web design needs."

Shannon Formica of Kids and Art
"Most people don't ever recommend their current web provider-if you ask people about who they use for either web design or hosting they will tell you they are actually looking for someone else! Not only do I recommend Fina, but I can not speak more highly of a business professional! She provides excellent work, but more importantly her responsiveness is astounding!"

Tom Berry of Josephine's Italian Bistro
"Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the great work you did on our website. You took what was a barely functional site and made it a real expression of what we are trying to accomplish at Josephine’s.
I am amazed at how (with only brief conversations with Chris) you were able to capture our vision and then translate that into a site that not only exuded class but the visitors were easily able to navigate to the sections containing menus and special events.
We were under a “time crunch” and you were able to gather your resources and quickly have the new site up and running well before we expected delivery.
We have had many compliments and inquiries as to the designer and happily referred them to you and your service.
