Most WordPress sites don’t fail because of bad design.
They fail because they don’t convert.
I have seen websites that look amazing…
But it still brings in zero leads.
Why?
Design alone isn’t enough.
You can have:
- clean layout
- nice colors
- smooth animations
…but if users don’t know what to do next, they just leave.
What actually moves the needle:
→ a headline that clearly says who it’s for
→ one strong CTA (not 5 different ones)
→ simple navigation (no guessing)
→ fast load time (people won’t wait)
→ basic SEO structure from the start
Honestly, small fixes here can outperform a full redesign.
If your site looks good but isn’t converting,
you don’t need a new design… You need better decisions.
If you're working on your site and something feels off, feel free to message me. I would be happy to take a quick look.

20K for design?” No.
$20K is not for design. It’s for fixing decisions that are already costing you money.
Because the problem isn’t UI. The problem is: users don’t reach the value onboarding doesn’t convert flows break motivation the product isn’t generating revenue, even though it could
We’ve had cases where redesigning onboarding increased conversion by +40%. You’re not paying for screens. You’re paying for your product to start working. And yes - it’s not for everyone.

Some clients don't understand the value proposition. It's not about just designing. It's about ROI. In the long run, the value they spent on the project will be minimal compared to the return that they will have.
My website needed a redesign so today I completely overalled it.
As I was working on it I realized that your website can really affect the view you have on your work.
When I was using the old one I didn't fee as confident sending it to potential leads or studios in my area. The new one feel more like a representation of myself and my skills.
Let me know what you think I'm curious to know your thoughts.

Well done Alexis
Designers don't have a clear career development path.
That's what surprised me when I was listening to this episode of Creative Confessions yesterday.
I guess that's why improvise with design challenges, short courses, side projects, shiny objects. It might look a bit wonky from the outside by it's actually pure dedication in the absence of structure.
This project 'Webheads' is an example of that. I created 105 above the fold designs for a range of fictitious businesses to flex my design muscles a bit and get better with colour, type and composition.
We're dedicated to getting better, but totally self-motivated.
I guess we're self-directed in a system that never gap us a map.
What do you do to get better?
Groovy! I love it 😍
