TESTIMONIALS

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!

Working with Julia was a pleasure, and the whole process was smooth and straightforward. Julia listened to me patiently - even when I was being vague or indecisive - and built me a site which reflects my art practice beautifully.

I am so happy with my new website. It’s just what I wanted and more.

Your experience, expertise and artistic eye was such a help! Even though you are based in Scotland and I in Canada, I was amazed at how convenient and simple it was to work on this project together even though we are time zones apart. Brilliant job – THANK YOU!

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.

Book Cover Designer

I needed to create a new look and feel to my website, one which would reflect my evolving creative practice as an artist and researcher; I wanted a clean, reflective appearance as the images themselves are complex. Julia worked with my ideas and together we have come up with what I think is a great website. I’m delighted. The feedback I’m getting from friends and colleagues echoes this. Very pleased and very grateful. Thanks Julia!

Artist & Researcher

Julia was very good at asking the right questions, listening to what I asked for and making excellent suggestions. She checked things out with me at every stage, responded quickly to my queries and met every deadline. I am very happy with my new website and cannot praise her highly enough.

SARAH WYATT

Artist

Julia did far more than design an interesting and dynamic website. Her design flair and insight helped me rethink how I present my work. The whole process was calm and thoughtful, allowing for ideas to emerge. Julia also gave me lots of good advice about my online profile and I am now well equipped to look after my website (with a little help if I need it). Thank you Julia.

... [Julia] came across as being very clear headed, practical and professional – and good fun too... Julia from a magic far-away place managed to nurture my techno spirit into action…it was at times for me quite challenging... Slowly but surely through email, with clear direction, realistic deadlines and an abundance of patience Julia has designed and delivered a new lovely spanking clean and dandy website... Read the full testimonial

Working with Julia was a very positive experience. She immediately understood the look and feel of what I was hoping to achieve and the final product was just what I had been hoping for - in fact better. We worked via Skype - a first for me - and it was a good and totally painless process which made me really focus. I am very happy with what Julia has done for me and highly recommend her thoughtful and professional approach.

CAROLINE BOYLE

Ceramicist

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
