Eventually my travels brought me to Hawaii, where AI Design Studio continues today as one of Honolulu's premier web design studios.
I follow a Zen-like design philosophy by creating clean, clear and uncluttered websites.
Your website is your business card, brochure, billboard—and the face of your business. Today customers first seek out services online and make a determination within a few seconds to use your services. You only get one chance to make a first impression — never more true with a professional website.
I seek to create visually appealing, stylishly designed, and efficient websites that accurately reflect your business, improve your online visibility and give you a competitive edge in Hawaii's unique market.
I believe in building long-term, lasting and trusting relationships with my clients by guiding your online profile and presence as the web and your business grows.
I formulate color scheme, photography and typographic design into a cohesive design. I practice CSS for optimum search, performance, mobility and the user experience.
I assess each element of your services and better it by seeing the design not just as marketing but as a genuine source of competitive advantage, customer and employee satisfaction and, lastly, a route to higher profits. Design-oriented businesses win.
WEB DESIGN SERVICESI design websites in CSS allowing your website to perform accurately and efficiently on all browsers and mobile devices and ensures optimum SEO. As the web is evolving CSS are introducing many cutting-edge features that enable functionality, speed, performance, and experience.
User Interface Design / User ExperienceThe user experience is the most important aspect of an effective website and I focus on efficient and fluid design, and intuitive site navigation.
I build custom Content Management Systems with an easy-to-use interface allowing you to update content via a browser and control costs long-term. With CSS driven navigation menus create new pages as your business grows. I do not use Wordpress or Joomla.
I implement strategies to promote your business and improve your online visibility by integrating your social media network, including Facebook, Yelp, LinkedIn, Youtube, Twitter, etc.
SEO - Search Engine OptimizationI have 10 years experience in SEO. In our unique Hawaii market I consistently place my clients at the top of Google and search rankings. I implement Google Analytics to monitor traffic to your site and provide SEO strategies to improve your online visibility.
In addition to creating original illustration elements for websites I also design logos, business cards, brochures and complete branding campaigns seamlessly matching all of your promotional materials.
