Hi, I’m James

A seasoned design professional with over 12+ years of design experience and 7+ in web design, UI and development. I am highly adaptable and have a range of skills that can be applied across many areas.

Design & UI

I have a passion for crafting highly thought out and engaging digital experiences across all platforms.

Web design

I also have over 7 years experience bringing these experiences to life using HTML, CSS & jQuery.

Before I start any project, I like to first understand the problem. As I designer, making things that look great is a must, but I also understand that no one wants a car without an engine. First I like to understand the need and requirements of the work. I then use design thinking to create something thats not only beautiful to look at, it’s highly functioning.

I use a wide range of tools day to day, probably too many to list, but here’s a breakdown of the ones I use the most;

  • Design: Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, Figma, After effects, Indesign, Canva
  • Development: HTML, CSS, SASS/SCSS, jQuery, Wordpress, Tailwind, Bootstrap, Foundation

The serious bit. Once we have the mockups completely signed off, we move on the development stage. This is where you’ll see the website start to take life, we develop all of our websites on a secure staging site that the client can access at anytime to follow progress and see the magic happening in real time.

The exciting bit. After a final round of sign offs and checks we prepare the website for launch. Following a full training session (included with all web builds) to all relevant people, we get the website up and running on the desired domain and hand over the keys to your brand new website.

A step ahead of the competition

Each project is met with the same level of enthusiasm.

In a world of cliché copycats and repetition people have become de-sensitised to the world around them. My aim is always to break the mould and reclaim the attention of the user, All of my work is highly thought-out and built with the end user in mind!

What we do

Web design & development

Our bread & butter… We don’t just build sites that look great, we carefully craft digital experiences that leave your potential customers & clients knowing exactly where they should be. We don’t believe in selling you pre-packaged products. We discuss your needs and create you a tailor-made solution.

We use only the latest technology ensuring that your website meets the demanding needs of any modern web application as well as obsessing over the smaller details that can make or break a site.

We hope that we can develop a long lasting relationship with all of our clients and we’ll always be here to help, whether its tweaking some copy, putting together a new page or simply hopping on a call to brainstorm some new ideas. However, we realise that sometimes clients want to be able to make changes and edit the site themselves, so for this reason we build all of our websites with a complete easy-to-use back-end that can be used by even the biggest technophobe.

What we do

Conversion rate optimisation

A masters work is never finished. And the same goes for a website. Launching is just the first step.

Our websites are always built with conversion at the forefront but this is something that can always be improved on. We can help harness the power of analysis and testing tools to find out what’s performing well with your target audience and build upon it. This is mainly done by setting up a/b and multi-variate tests and then analysing the data to see which pages or sections of a page perform best. We can then roll this thinking out to all relevant parts.

What we do

Search engine optimisation

We build your website with SEO at the forefront. This means making sure your website ranks on the first page of major search engines for your target keywords.

A new website is only the first hurdle in driving results. SEO optimisation will help increase your websites visibility and drive high quality, converting traffic. Our SEO specialist can help with link building, SEO strategy, content creation and much more. Over time, this will result in huge gains for your company.

What we do

Digital design & social media

It”s not just websites we create at ThinkClever, we’ve been around the design world for over 15 years and theres not much we haven’t done. We can help with any of your design needs from creating well thought out digital ad campaigns, social media assets, HTML email campaigns and animation.
