About this service

Summary

I design appealing and user-friendly websites tailored to meet your business goals. From designing the layout and selecting the perfect colors to creating interactive elements that engage your visitors, I ensure your website not only looks great but also helps you achieve success online.

Process

Here's a step-by-step process for creating the design concept of a website: 1. 30 min Discovery call to see if we are a good fit. I'll ask you to describe your situation and briefly present my variants of solution. If you like it - we'll go to the next step. 2. Questionnaire for you to fill - about your business and requirements for the website. 3. Defining Key Design Elements - I conduct research into your industry, competitors, and current design trends. As a result, I prepare a visual collage that conveys the proposed design direction. It includes examples of color schemes, typography styles, imagery, and overall design vibe to help you visualize the concept. 4. Wireframing - I design basic, low-fidelity layouts that outline the placement of content, navigation elements, and functionality without focusing on design details. 5. Here is the space for your first feedback and approval 6. Design Process - I design all website pages 7. Again time for your feedback. Depending on the number of pages, there could be 1 -3 rounds 8. Mobile Designs - I design all website pages for mobile 9. Your last feedback within the project scope. 9. Finalizing Design Assets - Once the design concept is approved, I prepare style guides outlining the design specifications, including color codes, typography guidelines, and component usage, and record the video about the design file and how the website should work. Hand off the design to the development team for implementation.

FAQs

What is Figma, and why do you use it for design?
Figma is a special computer program for designing websites, and the good news is, it's completely free! Registering is a breeze—just use your Google account and open it directly in your browser. One of the great things about Figma is how easy it is to collaborate. You (or the developer) can preview pages and provide feedback on specific design elements, making teamwork a smooth and peaceful process.
Can I provide input during the design process?
Your input during the design process is not only welcomed but encouraged. Your perspective and ideas are essential in creating a website that truly reflects your vision and meets your needs. We'll collaborate closely throughout the process, and you'll have opportunities to review the designs, provide feedback, and suggest any changes you'd like to see.
How many revisions are included?
Depends on the project size. For the smallest project, like landing, I include 3 rounds of revisions.
Do you offer responsive design for mobile devices?
Yes. But it is an add-on service. We can discuss it on the discovery call.
Do I need to provide content, or will you help with that?
1. Texts on the website (copy) I use placeholders. Later, you can replace them with relevant texts. It's important to note that keeping the same text length is crucial, as it could affect the design. 2. Photos and illustrations I can search for photos for you on free or paid stock websites. This service is available as an add-on. 3. Icons I can search for icons on free or paid stock websites, or I can prepare them myself. This service is available as an add-on.
What is your turnaround time for design concepts?
It all depends on how big the project is. And since there are at least 3 rounds of revisions, which can take some time, I like to give a time estimate after our discovery call.
How do I get started with a design project?
To start a design project, simply contact me. We'll arrange a meeting to discuss your project requirements—I'll address any uncertainties and explain the process in detail. Then, we'll collaborate to bring your vision to life, keeping you updated every step of the way. Whether you have a clear idea or need assistance, I'm here to turn your project into reality.
