Each individual work project can be linked to an external source.
Home page (landing page) humanising Oliver with a focus on highlighting his client list with a wall of logos from all the sectors his work covers to build credibility with prospective clients.
Mobile friendly design
SEO friendly - with keywords developed for on-page SEO
The site's overall design is simple and graphic with clear CTA’s to get in touch.
After project completion, clients receive training for self-updates, so live website content may differ from my original design.
