Working with Julia on creating my website has been an absolute joy and a hugely positive collaborative experience. From day one Julia imposed a clear working schedule meaning there was never any confusion as to what she would do and what was needed from me. Her model of working on the project one day a week was perfect as it enabled me to live with suggestions and developments in between times. It also meant I never had to make quick decisions. This pace allowed for the natural evolution of the design and Julia’s artistic sensibilities have been central in helping me understand how I wanted the site to look and feel. Ignorant of the technical complexities that make websites function, I felt very comfortable asking even the most basic questions.
As well as providing training packages to help me learn to add/remove content, Julia reassuringly offers ongoing support and technical maintenance. And all of the above for an incredibly reasonable cost.
Thank you Julia!

I came to this project all upset and stressed about my website but it's been beyond easy, and I have you to thank for that! It's like I handed you a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a black puddle and you waved your magic wand and voila - a gorgeous website! I'm over the moon with it.

Julia just 'got it' as soon as I gave her a stylesheet 'mood board' for my site. She knew instinctively what I wanted that the end result feels like I designed it! She lives in another country and it felt like she was next door. She has been a joy to collaborate with on this. The site is brilliant and does what I wanted it to. Thank you Julia!

I worked with Julia to develop my existing website from a clunky, amateur site into a professional, credible online presence. I chose Julia to help because she offers an unusual mix of technical web skills along with an understanding of the artist’s perspective. I was also impressed by other great websites she’d developed. The process was seamless and organised, with work planned over a series of weeks such that I never felt overwhelmed technically or with content delivery. It also meant that there was iterative flexibility, with time to think and evolve the look gradually. With her artist’s eye, Julia was also able to propose positive aesthetic changes which I would have missed! The training packages are a great way to start learning more about my own site management, and it’s also good to have a support package available. I was a little nervous about the investment, but it’s definitely been value for money and I am getting super feedback. Thanks again Julia!

Julia was great to work with putting you at ease right from the start. Her valuable knowledge and suggested ideas gave me a better understanding of what could be achieved ... I can’t praise enough but what I found the most brilliant was through listening and intuition Julia captured the feel and look that I had been searching for. I came across Julia’s name on a search for a web designer. What a find that was! Read the full testimonial

Working with Julia on the site was a pleasure. She was always clear about what to expect, the timescale and deadlines for content. Her training videos and instructions are great and I feel confident I can make the content updates I need to the site on an ongoing basis.

I had been thinking of having a new website built for years, my former site was over eight years old and barely represented the work that I was currently making. The thought of trying to pull together all the strands of my disparate practice was preventing me from moving forward. I had heard from other artist friends about Julia and how she had helped them to build their websites through a straightforward, clear and uncomplicated process. An initial zoom call with Julia, immediately put my mind at rest. She came across as a lovely, friendly person with lots of knowledge and experience and after talking to her for half an hour I felt confident that things would work. Choosing what to show, what to say, how to put a diverse practice in to some comprehensive semblance was my biggest overwhelming concern. Julia was amazing from the beginning helping me to categorise my work and gently directing my thoughts and ideas into a coherent and uncluttered space. Working each week with Julia was very good, allowing time in between to assess and think about what she had done and how that worked for me. I was amazed at how quickly things came together and how a collection of disparate images and text started to resemble a consolidated and integrated practice. Although, Julia worked on my site one day a week, she was always around should a problem arise and I felt secure in the knowledge that she was there in the background sorting things out. I would thoroughly recommend Julia to anyone who is thinking of building a new website. As a practising artist herself she has a great understanding of how others artists “tick” what concerns they may have and takes care of things in a professional, aesthetic and sensitive way.

When I first met Julia at her wonderful writing retreat Studio Faire, I knew immediately she would be the right person to solve my dilemma of wanting to combine two different websites – one for my children’s novels, the other for my author profile – into a fresh modern site. By integrating my favourite colours with the font and illustrations from my children’s books she has managed to capture the essence of my personality as well as cleverly highlighting my various writing styles.

Working with Julia was simple and professional from our first conversation to her congratulatory email to say the site had gone live. I would highly recommended Julia’s work to anyone who is looking for help with a new website.

Working with Julia was a total delight. It was like dancing with a really good partner who knows when to lead, when to follow. Julia’s sense of color, typography, composition, balance, and organization, coupled with her understanding of the practical considerations of website design—what works best and most flexibly on the widest array of devices and platforms—make her an ideal designer especially for someone working in an aesthetic or artistic field. Though a designer myself, and though I might have found the wherewithal to design my own website, I know too well the value of having a fresh set of eyes and ideas applied to one’s work. Even had I possessed all of Julia’s technical know-how (I possess none of it), I can safely say that I would never have achieved anything like what she has done for me. At every instance where I had input, she improved upon it; nor was she shy about telling me when something wouldn’t work. Put simply, Julia is more than a skilled web designer; she is something far rarer: she is a gifted artist.
