About Me
y alias is a misnomer of sorts, as I am not very large and XL consists of only me, Mandy. This self-parody stuck when I was studying digital design in 2000. However, I do want to make a big impact with the success of businesses and make my mark on the Internet.I create any kind of websites from start to finish. Depending on client requirements I do the necessary research and create a proposal. I source development depending on software required. If you are a developer reading this please get in touch if you are interested in working together.
11 years of industry experience has taught me that designing a website in user-friendly tones, presenting all information and removing unnecessary details isn't easy. Finding the right balance and creating usable, elegant and clean websites with simple layouts is something which comes with years of experience and dedication to crafting one's skill.
Simple doesn't mean boring though. The point is to make the web a rich visual experience, but also making more searchable, accessible and adaptable websites.
I have worked in agencies for clients such as the BBC, Motorfuture, Vodacom Business, Firefox, British Airways and Kew Gardens. My own clients are mainly small businesses which I get through word of mouth mostly and are situated all over the world.
I have experience managing and designing for the following types of websites: Drupal, eCommerce, Expression Engine, Joomla, Magento and Wordpress.
