A website is often the first place someone encounters your work, your business or your story.

For me, designing one isn’t simply about arranging information on a screen. It’s about understanding who you are, what you want to communicate and finding the visual language that brings it all together.

Sometimes that begins with a logo and color palette. Sometimes with photography. Sometimes with a conversation and a very blank page.

And sometimes, apparently, it involves rearranging the furniture too. 😉

Every project starts somewhere different

Some people come to me with almost everything already in place. They have a logo, photographs, colors and finished text. What they need is someone to bring those pieces together and create a website that feels coherent, considered and like them.

Others arrive with an idea… and not much else.

That’s okay too.

We can start with what you have and figure out what’s missing along the way.

That might mean developing a color palette, exploring typography, creating a logo or other graphic elements, adding original photography, or simply finding the right way to bring everything together visually.

Not every website needs all of those things.

Sometimes a simple, thoughtfully designed website is exactly what’s needed.

Starting with a very blank page…

A recent project began with someone who needed a website for her professional practice.

She came to me without an existing visual identity. No established colors, no logo and no collection of professional photographs.

So we started at the beginning.

We talked about her work, the people she works with and how she wanted someone to feel when they arrived on her website.

From those conversations, the visual identity gradually began to take shape.

I developed the color palette, chose the fonts, created her logo and began designing the visual language of the website. From there, the page layouts, imagery and presentation of her content all started to come together.

And then came the photography.

I wanted the photographs to feel connected to the rest of the site, so we photographed both her and the space where she works.

Which brings us back to the furniture…

Yes, I really did help rearrange her office.

It wasn’t exactly part of the original plan, but the room was going to appear in the photographs, and those photographs were going to become part of the visual story of the website. Moving a few things around helped create the atmosphere we wanted.

One thing led to another, as it so often seems to do with me.

The logo, colors, fonts, photographs and website began to feel like parts of the same story rather than separate pieces.

And that’s what I love about working this way.

What if I already have everything?

That’s fine too.

You absolutely don’t have to start from scratch, and you don’t need a complete visual identity project simply because you need a website.

If you already have your logo, photographs, colors and content, I can work with those and concentrate on bringing everything together visually.

This can also be a good option if you’re just starting out or working with a smaller budget. A website doesn’t have to be complicated to feel thoughtful, professional and connected to the person or work behind it.

The project may be simpler, but I still care about the details: how the colors work together, how the typography feels, how your images are presented and how someone experiences the site as they move through it.

Because simple doesn’t have to mean impersonal.

A little about how I work

For the moment, the websites I create are built with WordPress.

I begin with a carefully selected professional theme and then adapt and personalize it around the project. The theme gives us the foundation, but the colors, typography, imagery, graphic elements, composition and overall visual direction are developed to create a site that feels connected to you and what you do.

For me, the theme is a starting point, not the finished design.

Depending on the project, I can also create the visual pieces that are missing. That might mean developing a color palette, choosing and working with typography, creating a logo or customized wordmark, designing original graphic elements or producing photography specifically for the site.

Sometimes the right typeface already exists and it’s simply a question of choosing the one that feels right. Other times, I may adapt existing lettering to create something more individual for a logo or visual identity.

It really depends on what the project needs.

I also work in both English and French, so bilingual websites are possible too.

Not every project needs everything. Part of the process is simply figuring out what yours actually needs.

A little about pricing

I know that not everyone looking for a website has a large budget, particularly independent professionals, therapists, artists and small businesses who may be just starting out.

That’s why I offer different levels of project rather than a single all-or-nothing package.

A small, streamlined website can begin at €350, while a more developed professional website begins around €500. Larger, bilingual or more individually developed projects are priced according to what they involve.

If you’re starting without a visual identity and would like me to create the broader visual world around your project as well, that can be included as part of a more complete project.

Before anything begins, we’ll talk about what you already have, what you need and what you don’t need. From there, I can give you a clear quote based on the scope of your project.

Shall we create something?

You don’t need to come to me with everything figured out.

You might have a folder full of photographs, a logo you’ve been using for years and a very clear idea of what you want.

Or you might have a business, an idea and absolutely no idea what color anything should be.

Both are perfectly good places to start.

Tell me a little about what you’re working on, what you already have and what you think you might need.

We’ll take it from there.
