My approach to website design begins long before visual design.

Whether working with a small business, a travel company, a cultural organisation or a large commercial client, I start by understanding how people search, what information they expect to find and what the organisation is trying to achieve.

Search behaviour, content structure and user intent provide a foundation for decisions about navigation, page hierarchy and content strategy.

Over the years this approach has informed projects across a wide range of sectors, helping organisations move beyond assumptions and make decisions based on evidence.

Recent examples include work for a luxury hotel and a national waste management company, where keyword research, content analysis and information architecture were used to identify opportunities, shape site structures and improve the way users navigate content.

Research findings translated into actionable recommendations for content and navigation.
