Founder-led strategy, design + development

Websites that look like you— and make sense to the right people.

I design and build websites for artists, cultural brands and growing businesses. The work can be expressive, practical or both. What matters is that people understand who you are, trust the experience and know what to do next.

01 / The problem

A beautiful website that says nothing is still expensive silence.

Most weak websites do not fail dramatically. They quietly lose a little trust, clarity and momentum at every screen.

01

Unclear offer

People cannot quickly tell what you do or why it matters.

02

Weak structure

Important information exists, but not in the order people need it.

03

Low trust

The business is stronger than its digital presence makes it look.

04

No conversion flow

Attention arrives, wanders and leaves without a decisive next step.

02 / Fast diagnosis

Where are you now?

Choose the situation closest to yours. The answer changes the solution.

WGS diagnosis

Find the leak before rebuilding.

An audit separates surface-level visual issues from deeper problems in messaging, trust, mobile experience and conversion flow.

03 / What I build

One core system.
Every layer aligned.

A website performs better when strategy, identity, interface and acquisition are not designed as separate worlds.

01

Website systems

New builds and strategic redesigns that make the offer obvious and the next step natural.

  • Business diagnosis
  • Conversion architecture
  • Custom UI + code
  • Mobile, speed + launch
02

Brand + interface identity

A visual language that makes the business recognisable, credible and consistent everywhere.

  • Positioning direction
  • Logo refinement
  • Colour + typography
  • Digital design system
03

SEO foundations

The technical and on-page groundwork that helps the right people understand and find you.

  • Search structure
  • Metadata + headings
  • Local SEO alignment
  • Indexing foundations
04

Digital growth layers

Connected touchpoints and AI-assisted systems that keep the website from becoming an island.

  • Social profile alignment
  • Landing pages
  • Analytics setup
  • AI workflow strategy

Liana / Founder / Creative Director

I move between strategy, art direction, UX, design and development, so the idea does not get diluted as it passes from one discipline to another. The work stays visually distinctive, commercially clear and technically real.

06 / The method

Creative, but never confusing.

The visual idea matters, but it is only one part of the job. I also plan the pages, organise the content, design the mobile experience and build the final website. You work with one person from the first idea to launch.

Start with diagnosis
01

Understand

Understand the business and audience.

02

Plan

Plan the pages and user journey.

03

Create

Create the visual direction.

04

Build

05

07 / Investment

Choose the level.
Keep the logic.

Every scope begins with the same principle: fix the most important business problem before adding more deliverables.

The standard

“I’d rather build the right thing than make the wrong thing prettier.
Clear enough to understand.Distinct enough to remember.Structured enough to perform.

08 / Questions

Before we
begin.

Websites are the core offer. Branding, SEO foundations, social profile alignment and AI-assisted workflows can be added when they solve a real part of the client journey.

Usable brand assets are preserved. I only recommend refinement when the existing system weakens clarity, trust or consistency on the web.

Sometimes. The $400 Website Diagnosis identifies whether the problem is visual, structural, technical or in the offer itself. The recommendation may be optimisation, a landing page or a rebuild.

A focused website generally takes 2–4 weeks once content and approvals move on schedule. Larger identity and authority systems are scoped individually.

That depends on the build. Tilda is suitable when easy client editing and speed matter most. Custom code is used when the experience needs more control, behaviour or technical flexibility.
