Your website should turn visitors into engaged customers.

It’s like having a top-performing sales rep working 24 hours a day, 7days a week.

In today’s busy world, your customers are constantly bombarded with different marketing messages, which makes it significantly more difficult for customers to focus and make right choice. In order to stand out from the noise, your signal should be clear and precise.

From Pre-Seed to Series A, I help startups create relationship with their customers, by communicating their functional message, personality and values to prospective customer, trough clear, comprehensible design and memorable customer experience

It all boils down to understanding your user base. In most cases, it’s the design that decides your position between making or breaking a business.

My project workflow can be split in two main stages - preparation and execution. During the preparation stage, we focus on making a detailed plan for the project execution and its scope. The actual work, testing and validation is done in the second stage.
Our first goal is to in fully understand your users and discover their wants and needs, frustration, and goals. Only then we'll be able to design a consistent messaging strategy and conversion-driven design for your website.

what i do?

Workshop that will help you understand, prioritize and focus on clear vision and plan, to help you achieve your goals. It helps teams conduct the strategic planning process together. Achieving understanding, definition and agreement in one process vs. having to go back and forth for months.

Whether it’s about validating a business idea, adding a feature to existing, design sprints help you prototype a valid solution and solve big challenges. All without investing months in building an MVP, not knowing if it’s even the right thing to build.

Brand identity isn’t just your logo, type you choose, and colors you place. Brand identity serves as a key to your business strategy by communicating your functional message, personality, values, and aspirations. When done well, your prospective clients will intuitively and effortlessly realize how you differ from the competition.

Visualizing and building the architecture of your digital product that reflects and resonates with your user's journey. Optimizing the structure and flow so that we provide seamless interactions.

Exceptional websites and digital products are a fine blend of the right story and technology behind it. I take on a design thinking approach that focuses on usability and impact. No shortcuts, dark patterns.

FAQ

The final price is directly related to the project scope, timeline, and deliverables. As real project scope, can’t be determined without a formed strategy, the first stage of the project is Discovery.

After this stage, we’ll have clear overview of what we building, what resources are required and how much time we’ll need to complete the project. Once we have a clear picture of this, I’ll be able to propose you final price and deadline.

For now I can only give you a bull-park range, so the clients I work with previously typically come to me with more than $100 and less than $2,000 in their budget.

It depends on the project scope. But from previous experience, designing and developing new landing page can take up to 2 weeks, while some bigger websites 6-12 pages, can take up to 4-6 weeks.

Detail information about me, my services, costs and timelines, you can check in my Capability Deck Document

The first step of starting our cooperation is 30-minute discovery call. In this call we’ll try to define your goals, perform problem discovery and identify potential solution to your problem.

After our call I’ll send you proposal for discovery session, so you can approve and set a downpayment. Once we complete the the Discovery phase, I’ll be able to compose and deliver a final project proposal, and then we can officially start our project.

You got a cool project on mind? Let’s collaborate and create powerful Product & Brand for your startup.
