Branding & Identity

A strong identity might be one of the best long-term investments a company can make. And because smaller companies cannot afford to pay a design agency, doesn't mean they should have poor-looking logos. Through a careful collaborative process, i help my clients to define themselves and stand out of the competition.

Webdesign

I specialize in designing and programming accessible websites in CSS/XHTML, and comply with Web Standards. What does that mean?

In plain words, webdesign that search engines and users love, that doesn't cost a fortune in hosting, and is easy to update and maintain. And for further ease of use, I can also integrate a good Content Management System (CMS), which will let you update your website yourself, even without any programming knowledge.

Print

I also offer my expertise in print production. Do you want to define the layout and typography of your magazine, or design an annual report or brochure for your company? Maybe you need help to find a good printer or do press checks? Or maybe you just need some business cards? I'll take care of all the above.

Independent

What makes working with an independent design consultant a good thing?

Easier communication
Personal advice
Budget: Although good design comes at a price, not everyone can afford to hire a design agency.

Web Standards

“To make their products findable on the web, companies spend millions on search engine optimization (SEO). Yet some companies that can't afford to spend a dime on SEO nevertheless do brilliantly with search engines and long-tail sales. Their secret? (...) CSS Layout and structural XHTML are the golden keys to findability. Companies that know this are prospering. Those that don't are falling behind.”

Jeffrey Zeldman, Designing with Web Standards

Web standards are a set of guidelines that websites should follow, and which i try to apply for every project. Their benefits for your website are:

Accessibilty: More users can visit your site.
Better search engine rankings.
Styling and content are separated: your site is easier to update.
Smaller file sizes: less hosting costs.
Compatibility with today's and tomorrow's internet browsers (including mobile browsers).

The Process

Here's the usual process we will go through to make sure that your design answers your needs. The details here are for a website, less steps may be required for other projects:

We have a talk about your project, your company, your needs, and we define a "brief".
I then deliver several concepts or rough sketches. You decide which ones you prefer, and request modifications, if necessary.
I submit you the revised design for approval.
I then take care of the layout and coding.
We make the last minor changes
