DIY website builders make it easy to start, but costly to grow. This article breaks down the hidden limitations of platforms like Wix, Squarespace, and Shopify — and explains why moving to WordPress with Kadence + Elementor Pro gives you full control, ownership, and long-term performance.
Not sure whether your website needs a refresh or a full redesign? Understanding the difference can save you time, money, and frustration. A refresh focuses on visual and usability updates within your existing structure, while a redesign rebuilds your site from the ground up to support new goals, features, and growth. This guide explains how to tell which approach is right for your business — and how to make the most of your next website upgrade.
For over two decades, I’ve been designing and building digital experiences that balance clarity, creativity, and performance. My work lives at the intersection of design and technology — where thoughtful storytelling meets clean, efficient code.
I started early — taking programming classes in high school before earning my degree in Multimedia Design. That blend of logic and artistry still defines how I approach every project today. Whether it’s designing a fast, beautiful website or streamlining a brand system, I focus on making things that not only look great but work great.
After years as a one-man design shop for boutique agencies and later as the sole designer and developer at a 400-person global SaaS company, I’ve learned to move comfortably between creative direction, technical implementation, and client communication. I’ve designed print campaigns, built WordPress and Shopify sites from the ground up, supported global events, and optimized digital ecosystems for speed, usability, and growth.
These days, I partner with clients and agencies who value quality, trust, and collaboration. My goal isn’t just to “build a site” — it’s to build something sustainable, something that fits your goals, scales gracefully, and gives you confidence every time you hit “publish.”
When I’m not designing or developing, I’m usually exploring new tools, refining workflows, or helping others understand how technology can make their work easier. I’m curious by nature, focused by design, and happiest when I’m building something that makes someone else’s job — or life — a little simpler.
