Experience
TechyCreatives (Information Website)
I developed a one-page animated WordPress website for a digital agency to showcase their services and other key information. Using WordPress alongside various technologies, I created an engaging and visually appealing site that is fully mobile-responsive, ensuring a seamless experience across all devices.
WP Notch (Portfolio Website)
https://wpnotch.com/I developed this website as a portfolio website for a digital agency, showcasing the agency’s expertise and services in a clean, modern design. The site uses a block theme and elements, offering a highly customizable, scalable structure that allows for easy updates and maintenance. I prioritized fast page load times, optimizing the site’s performance to ensure a smooth and seamless user experience. With a focus on speed, visitors can quickly navigate through the site, keeping bounce rates low and engagement high.
The website also includes a dynamic blog section, where the agency can regularly post updates, case studies, and industry insights. To maximize conversion, I incorporated multiple global calls-to-action (CTAs) strategically placed throughout the site, encouraging visitors to take the next step, whether it’s reaching out for a consultation or signing up for a newsletter. This strategic approach to design and functionality ensures that the site not only highlights the agency’s capabilities but also drives user action and engagement.
