Get a Website That Helps Your Business Thrive
Hi, I’m Laurel. I’m a web designer passionate about creating user-centred websites that help small businesses succeed.
Common Website Problems
Unclear Value Proposition: Users will likely leave if a website does not clearly communicate its value proposition within 10 seconds
Poor Responsiveness: Lack of mobile friendliness leads to user frustration and lower SEO ranking
Bad User Experience: Poor design decisions, confusing navigation, etc. drive potential clients away from the website and to competitors
Poor Accessibility: Considering the needs of all users, including those with disabilities, is important both from an ethical and legal standpoint (and can win you more clients as well!)
These are problems you shouldn’t have to worry about on your own! I have the expertise to solve these problems for you and design a website that meets your specific business needs and the needs of your target audience.
I ensure that every website I create is not just aesthetically pleasing, but also highly functional and optimised for performance across devices.
I love helping clients reach their goals. This is a collaborative effort, and I will work with you to craft a website that leads to business success.

Laurel helped us with the redesign of some of our website content to modernize it and to improve the user experience, and she also designed a completely new website for us for a new service offering. She is great to work with as she listens to fully understand your goals and communicates well throughout the entire process. Her designs were exactly what we were looking for, on brand, current, and always with the end user in mind. In addition, Laurel worked closely with our web developer to implement the design.
I would highly recommend Laurel for web design projects!

When it is time to revamp (or even begin) a website, the whole process can be overwhelming. And not being techno-savvy is very intimidating!
When I contacted Laurel she was quick to respond and give thorough feedback about the changes my website needed.
I found her recommendations, suggestions, ideas and execution to be exemplary! I was quite happy with my website prior to working with Laurel.. Now I am THRILLED with it!

A Bit About Me
Hi there! I’m Laurel, a web designer located in Tbilisi, Georgia (the country, not the U.S. state!). Before getting into web design, I was a teacher for 7 years, and I even had a Master’s in Education—but I was feeling stressed and unfulfilled. I stumbled into web design and found that creating interfaces that solve problems for people is something I love!
I completed an intensive 9-month UI design course through CareerFoundry, and I have been designing websites and web apps for clients since the beginning of 2022. I love bringing clients’ visions to life on the web, and making my designs user-friendly and accessible is important to me!
Services
Web Design
Need a new website or a redesign of an existing site? I can design a site that follows best practices for usability and accessibility, captures the attention of your target audience, and wins their trust.
UI Design
Have a web developer, but need a design professional to elevate the digital experiences of your products or services? I create designs that strike the balance between aesthetics and functionality and meet the needs of both your business and your target audience. I provide wireframes and prototypes that allow you to visualize the interface before development begins, ensuring that your expectations are met at every stage.
Website Audits
Don’t need a full redesign, but need improvements to your existing website or app? I can do a website audit (also called a usability audit) to check for usability and accessibility issues and produce a report with prioritised recommendations based on UX design best practices. I will work with you to target your specific concerns and business goals.
Book a Free Discovery Call
Schedule a free call to discuss your specific needs and how I can meet them. We will use this time to discuss your business goals, your target audience, and the scope of design work that you need. I can then create a design proposal that outlines the steps I will take to meet your needs and the price based on how many hours I estimate it will take.
If you prefer to communicate in writing, that’s great too! You can email me using my contact form and I’ll respond within 2-3 business days.
