It happens very often: Someone asks us to create brand new webdesign for their business, but when we look at their site, we say:
"You don't need a new design. You just need to fix what's broken in your current design."
Obviously, some designs can't be fixed and should be replaced. But the reality is that many sites fail to inspire trust or create sales simply because the design is ‘broken'.
And there can be many reasons for that.
Each font, color, dotted line and button color either builds trust, or breaks it.
You might like the natural relaxed look of multicolored social media buttons on your writer's site, but they can actually cost you a lot of trust with the reader.
That font you like so much - that might be just too hard to read for your type of audience.
Or it could be that the design uses a color combination that's proven to create feelings of doubt. Some colors are known or work against decision-making.
And all these little things can work against your goals. Design flaws can make it impossible to increase sales and grow your business.
Website design should be clear, focused and persuasive.
It should glue the reader to the page and make them want to do business with you.
Creating design that achieves that is something I've done for years. The testimonials on the right pretty much say it all.
If you want an affordable way to access the many years of experience and learning that my team and I have between us, a design review is the way to go.
A carefully composed set of design tweaks, keeping in mind your target reader and the action you want her to take - that's all it takes to leverage your expensive sales copy and your carefully generated traffic.

We only focus is on design and its psychological effect, but we don't get involved in the technical implementation. Before you buy, you'll want to make sure you, or your assistant can make changes to your html and/or css. Otherwise, I can recommend people I trust to make the changes for you.

If you take all the recommendations in the report and diligently implement them, you can expect to see your site perform better. On-page time will increase, calls to action will get more clicks, you list will grow faster, you'll sell more.
Enough said, I think.

$375"I knew that Reese Spykerman was a gun designer. What I did not anticipate is learning from her some of the smartest business processes around. Reese is more than a designer who is very good at what she does; she's a business expert, a connector, a thinker and best of all, a doer. Working with Reese is so much more than working with a designer; it’s about working with a top design professional who is a trusted part of my business."
-Melissa Kirby, Melbourne, Australia
"I've done two print projects now with Reese, and both came out perfect and a day ahead of schedule."
-John T. Unger, Michigan
"I have hired Reese for several projects, and each time she has delivered impeccable value to the creative process. Reese's talent and professionalism ranks above many of the designers I have worked with in the web production industry."
Joe Hall, South Carolina
"I wish I were multi-lingual, so I could praise Reese in every language known to humankind. She's smart, she's insightful, she's clever, she's resourceful, she's creative. She delivers on time and on budget - the mark of a true professional. Hire Reese. Hire her again. You will never regret it.
Michele Woodward, Washington, D.C.
"Reese is more than a designer; she is a strategist who understands the role of persuasive design and how it effects your entire business..."
Chris Guillebeau, Oregon
"Hot damn is Reese a goddess. Thanks again for sprinkling your genius all over the first issue!"
-Brooke Thomas, Connecticut
"I really enjoyed your website review. It gives me a lot of pointers of what to do and don't on my own website."
Diana Gailing, California
"I have never seen such and elegant, fun, intuitive design for a conference site. Pure brilliance."
Pam Slim, Arizona
