Web Designer
Thoughtful web design, led with clarity and experience
I work with small businesses, service providers, and trade-based companies who want a professional, effective online presence.
Most clients don’t arrive with a perfect brief — and they don’t need one.
My role is to bring clarity to your ideas, shape the structure of your site, and guide the process from start to finish so nothing feels overwhelming or unfinished.
This is a calm, structured approach — with clear stages, defined scope, and thoughtful decisions throughout.
Our Values
At Riva Digital Studio, clarity, structure, and thoughtful guidance sit at the heart of every project.
Clarity means translating ideas into a clean, purposeful website that feels considered and aligned with your business — not cluttered or overwhelming.
Guidance shapes how we work together. You’re supported throughout the process, but it’s led with clear direction, defined stages, and realistic scope, so decisions feel easier and progress stays on track.
Confidence comes from knowing your website has been built properly. I focus on creating digital spaces that feel stable, intuitive, and manageable — giving you reassurance now, and flexibility as your business grows.
Our Process
Discovery
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a focused online consultation to understand your business, priorities, and what the website needs to achieve.
- Workbook Completion: You will complete a short website workbook that gathers essential information about your services, audience, and existing branding. This ensures decisions are grounded and the project starts with clarity.
- Design Direction: Based on the information gathered, I’ll define a clear design direction and share selected references or layout options to align expectations before moving into design.
Design & Build
- Wireframe Creation: I’ll create a clear homepage wireframe to define structure, layout, and content flow before design begins.
- Collaborative Review: You’ll review the proposed design and provide feedback at agreed stages. Refinements are made within the defined scope to ensure clarity and progress without overcomplicating the process.
- Website Build: Once the design is agreed, I’ll build the website in WordPress, ensuring it is responsive, functional, and ready for use across devices.
Delivery & Handover
- Final Review: I’ll present the completed website for a final review, allowing for a limited number of agreed refinements to ensure everything is polished and ready to launch.
- Launch: Once approved, I’ll take care of the launch — ensuring the website is live, fully functional, and optimised across mobile and desktop.
- Handover: You’ll receive a clear walkthrough or simple guide covering day-to-day website management and minor updates, so you feel confident moving forward.
Ways to work together
I offer a small number of clearly defined website services — from one-page builds to more considered, content-led projects — along with ongoing support where it’s needed.
The right approach is discussed once we’ve looked at your goals, content, and priorities.
Featured Projects
These projects reflect a considered, structured approach to web design — where clarity, usability, and credibility come first.
Each website was shaped around the client’s business goals, content, and audience, with clear direction throughout the process to ensure the final result felt cohesive, purposeful, and ready to use.
The outcome isn’t just a visually pleasing website, but one that supports the business properly and stands up over time.

About Riva Digital Studio
I design and deliver professional, considered websites for service-based businesses and independent trades who want a clear, credible online presence.
My work brings together structure, content direction, and thoughtful design — creating websites that are not only visually refined, but practical, easy to manage, and built to support the business long-term.
As a polymath with a background spanning construction, accounting, styling, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), I bring both creative insight and practical judgement to every project. This allows me to work confidently across different industries, understanding not just how a website should look, but how it needs to function for the people behind the business.
Alongside client work, I support business owners through workshops and education, helping them feel more confident and informed about their digital presence — without overwhelm or unnecessary complexity.
If you’re looking for a calm, structured approach and a website that reflects the quality of your work, you’re in the right place.
