Listen first.
Understand the organization, people, constraints, and real problem before proposing a solution.
Listen first. Design second.
I’m Zane Ramsey, an independent web designer and developer.
I work directly with organizations to understand what the website actually needs to accomplish before deciding how it should look. That usually means clarifying the message, making important information easier to find, improving the mobile experience, and building the functions people actually need to use.
I’m especially interested in churches, nonprofits, ministries, community organizations, and other mission-driven work where a clear website can help people understand what is happening and know how to take part.
Working directly together means there is no account-manager handoff or agency layer between the conversation and the build. The person hearing the problem is also the person shaping the solution.
Solve the real problem.
Use design, content structure, and functionality where they make the experience genuinely clearer or easier.
Stay useful after launch.
Build for the organization that has to live with the site after the initial project is finished.
