Re-embracing Mobile Website Design

Time seems to fly by, and mobile websites seem to be ignored as the focus was on APP development - BUT finally, companies are "again realizing" the importance of serving the mobile community, and wanting to build mobile websites and web apps for mobile devices specially the iPhone (as it tends to have still the largest market share). Love mobile website design - simplistic, elegant and down-to-the-point of what sites should offer in User-experience. Watch out for new projects for mobile websites.

Looking forward to Hiki Media

Looking forward to the creative collaboration of liked-minded individuals coming together to form Hiki Media (hikimedia.com - site still to come).

The collaboration of individuals covering areas of graphic design, UI design, User-experience and Dev (both front- and back-end) - bring together skills and knowledge to join forces in a virtual agency.

It all starts now! Watch out for this enthusiastic, creative and passionate crew.

Catching Up!

It appears that I never have time to really "catch up" - because before I know it - months have passed so, I am more than overdue. I am starting again.

Over the past few months, work has been both interesting and somewhat intriquing at times. Contract position has and is well - working and learning so much more in the arena of the true meaning of "User-Experience" and "interaction design". Fully knowing and how to do it, is really a great science!

Freelance, has been also extremely rewarding - always a new client finding me somehow or another. I am really pleased with my latest client: Easy123Art - she found me via another clients website: Photowow. After, successfully re-designing, re-branding and launching a completely new experience for her and her customers. Results have been amazing! Easy123Art was featured on Today's Show and in Lucky magazine - site design got rave reviews, as well as site conversion increased more than 10-fold. Quoting client: "I have never had anything like this in the past 11 years that I have done business!" So, I guess proof is in the pudding ;)

What's coming: New print AD in Modern Dog magazine, Photowow 3.0 design will hopefully be released before or by the next time I write another post on this blog. Delving deeply into custom blog designs, and social media - the latest rage!
