My Approach

Planning & Strategy

We'll collaborate to map out your website's goals, target audience, and key functionalities. We'll discuss things like site structure, navigation, and content requirements.

Development & Progress Update

Once we agree on the plan, I cue my lofi playlist and dive into coding. From initial sketches to polished code, I keep you updated every step of the way.

Development & Launch

This is where the magic happens! Based on the approved design, I'll translate everything into functional code, building your website from the ground up.
