Websites
One web designer, from the first sketch to the live site, so nothing is lost between the person who designs it and the person who builds it.
Makati is where much of the country's banking, insurance, outsourcing and tech work is managed, and a lot of that work runs on websites and software that were built quickly and never really designed. A website that explains the business clearly is often the fastest improvement available, and the easiest to measure.
01
Company websites
Five to ten pages that explain what you do, show the proof, and make the next step obvious to a buyer on a phone.
02
Landing pages
One page for one campaign or one offer, built to load fast and turn the traffic you already pay for into enquiries.
03
Website redesigns
An existing site taken back to what visitors come for, with the pages that already rank kept where search engines can find them.
04
WordPress and Webflow builds
A custom WordPress theme, an Elementor build when your team wants to lay out pages themselves, or Webflow when they want to publish and rearrange pages without a developer.
Working together
Meet in Makati, then keep it moving online
I am based in Metro Manila and meet clients in Makati in person. The kickoff, the first design review and the week before launch go better face to face. Everything in between runs online, in writing and in one shared Figma file, so the project never waits for the next meeting.
It is the same way I work with teams in the US, Australia and Asia.
- A kickoff meeting at the start, with the decisions written down
- Design reviews online, one consolidated round of feedback at a time
- One design file you can open at any point in the project
- A launch checklist we walk through together
How a project runs
Words first. Design second.
Build third.
A business website is four to six weeks
when the content is ready on day one.
Four steps / four to six weeks
Step / 01
Brief. What the site has to do for the business, who it is for, and what already exists that is worth keeping.
Step / 02
Structure and content. The pages, what goes on each, and the words, settled before anyone argues about colours.
Step / 03
Design. Every page for desktop and mobile, reviewed in one consolidated round of feedback at a time.
Step / 04
Build and launch. Built in WordPress or Webflow, tested on real phones, and launched with the search basics in place.
What it costs
I quote each project once I've read the brief
Each quote is in pesos and covers the design and the build, and I work the number out from how many distinct pages the site needs and whether the words and pictures already exist, so a rough brief is enough for me to price it.
Common questions
Before you get in touch
Do you meet clients in Makati?
Yes. I am based in Metro Manila and meet clients in Makati in person, usually for the kickoff, discovery and the key reviews. The rest of the project runs online, which keeps it moving between meetings instead of waiting for them.
Are you a web designer or a web developer?
Both. I design the site in Figma and then build it, so there is no second contractor interpreting the design and nothing gets lost in the handoff. If you already have a developer, I can hand over a design file instead.
Should the site be WordPress or Webflow?
WordPress when the site needs to grow into something bigger, or needs plugins and integrations. Webflow when your team wants to publish and rearrange pages without a developer. I compare the two in Webflow vs WordPress for business websites.
How long does a website take?
Four to six weeks for most small business sites, one to three weeks for a landing page, and longer when a shop or a booking system is involved. Content and feedback set the pace more than design does, as I explain in how long a website takes to build.
Do you work with businesses outside Makati?
Yes, across Metro Manila and abroad. Makati is simply where in-person meetings are easiest to arrange. For other kinds of work in Makati, see UI/UX design in Makati and front-end development in Makati.
