How I built a personal portfolio website that showcases my web design expertise and drives client conversions
THE CHALLENGE
As a website developer and designer, I needed a modern portfolio that reflected my creative process, technical skills, and results-oriented approach. The goal was to:
Showcase my best work across WordPress, Elementor, and Framer.
Communicate my services clearly, from eCommerce development to landing pages and brand websites.
Present client testimonials, project outcomes, and case studies in a visually engaging way.
Build a fast, conversion-focused site that would attract potential clients and simplify contact or collaboration.
The challenge was to design something that not only looked beautiful but also worked strategically to communicate professionalism, creativity, and credibility while being easy to update as I grow.
THE SOLUTION
I designed and developed praisetechy.com using WordPress and Elementor, creating a clean, responsive, and high-performing website that effectively presents my work and experience. Each section was crafted to build trust and guide visitors toward taking action.
Key solutions included:
Strategic Site Structure: Organized the site into sections that highlight my services, past projects, testimonials, and contact details.
Conversion-Focused Design: Placed clear calls to action throughout the pages to encourage project inquiries and consultations.
Showcase of Expertise: Highlighted selected projects across different industries, including fashion, consulting, and eCommerce.
Performance Optimization: Implemented caching, image compression, and SEO foundations to ensure fast load times and strong search visibility.
Consistent Brand Identity: Used minimal colors, clean typography, and thoughtful spacing to reflect my design style of simplicity and clarity.
While the site was built entirely with WordPress, I also make use of Framer in my design workflow to prototype interactions and visualize creative layouts before development.
