Mike Roberts Our file sharing project was large and divided into several phases over several months. The extremely high quality of Ilina's work was the same on day 180 as it was on day 1. The design not only looked good but was also intuitive and very easy to use. It was a definite hit with our customers. There is absolutely no question Ilina has secured the number one "go to" slot for design at PerfectShare. Bottom line... Ilina does design like Mozart does music. Hire her."

Mike Roberts, CEO, PerfectShare.net

Alison Held“Hiring Ilina to create my brand identity and website was one of the best things that I did for my business.  She spent time with me to create crystal clear messaging and target my audience.  Then she produced the most beautiful website, logo, business cards and stationary.  It has been 5 years and I still receive many compliments on all these items and am continuing to attract my ideal clients!”

Alison Held, M.S. Nutritionist, HealthfulDirection.com

"Working with Ilina for the past 7 months has been an incredibly productive experience. Her design work and her professionalism are second to none.  I will never again work with anyone else besides Ilina for design.  She is by far the best!"

What Is the Process?

I have outlined below the steps that a regular web design process takes. Please keep in mind this is only a guideline, and the actual process might vary based on your specific needs.

1. Initial analysiss

The first step is to learn about your company and product / service. I'll be interested to find out about your vision and your goals for your design project.

2. Proposal

I will offer you a proposal that outlines all requirements and a list of deliverables. It will also include a time / cost estimate. If you’re happy with it, we commit to working together.

3. Design and refinement

After developing a design strategy, I will offer an initial set of mockups. Based on your feedback, I will refine the design until you are completely satisfied with it.

4. Coding and implementation

Once the design is finalized, if you need me to, I will build the HTML / CSS code and, if needed, will upload / set up your website on your server.

5. Final Review

After everything is completed, we'll do a quick review to make sure it all looks and works the way it should.
