Kia ora and welcome
I’m Elaine - an avid outdoor adventurer, vanlifer, dog lover and digital slowmad. When I’m not out having type 2 fun I’m designing websites for fun, kind, happy people making a difference in this world! (that’s you)
I love to move outdoors, take my friends on adventures, chat to everyone I meet and drink tea in some of the most beautiful places in NZ and OZ.
Born in the UK, but I’ve called NZ home for over 25 years. You’ll find me at the moment living between NZ and OZ.
When I’m not making websites, you can find me tramping (hiking) or trail running in the hills, walking my dog or teaching myself wood carving. I’ve also been a Retained Firefighter, a role I truly love, so I might be out on the big red truck!
Business philosophy
Clean, simple and effective websites that encourage the viewer to slow down, connect and build a relationship with the business owner.
Relaunching my web design business this year in a way that fits my lifestyle has been quite the journey.
I’ve looked around at ways to reduce stress for me, be more effective and offer a better service for you and that has led me to the one week website model and a calmer design style.
I have realised that simple, effective and calm websites stand out more in today’s busy online world and are good for people, the planet and the businesses.
For the people — simple, clean websites reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue while still being easy to use
For the planet — in a nutshell, a clear pathway through the website means less time on the computer and a lower impact on the planet
For our businesses — websites today are noisy and busy, minimal websites that are easy to move around and simple to use stand out. Lets make peoples lives easier!
