    paper Knob Hill Landscape Company - Website Redesign

    I designed, implemented SEO for, audited, made responsive, and published this website based on an existing website the client had. The original website was very dark, there were spelling errors, UI/UX design was not thoughtfully incorporated, and photos of their bright and colorful work were overlaid with black to dull the overall feel of the website.

    My redesign focused on colorful and bright additions to highlight the importance of color in their work. There was a strong emphasis on user interactivity with the website, with a direct path to awards and certifications, services, and portfolios of my client’s work. I wanted to incorporate more of their logos and brand visibility throughout the page while also maintaining SEO best practices and accessibility. Strong emphasis on rankings were utilized throughout with keywords and accentuation of their services and service areas listed throughout the new website. I wanted this website to be highly responsive to mobile views, with the animations still working well with the size of mobile screens.
