beautiful, functional & affordable Website Design
I built my first website in the early 2000s using Adobe Dreamweaver, and I have been at it ever since. Over the years, I have picked up something that is genuinely hard to find in one person: a working knowledge of graphic design, web technology, and marketing strategy all at once.
Most designers will hand you something beautiful. Most marketers understand your customers but may not know how to make visuals that stop them in their tracks. And technical specialists can build you something solid, but “solid” does not always mean compelling. I work at the intersection of all three, which means your website can look good, function well, and actually speak to the people you are trying to reach.
I build websites using Kadence Theme on WordPress, hosted with Hostinger. It is an affordable, flexible setup that I use for my own sites and have used for clients, and I stand behind it completely.
www.albamarie.com
Alba Marie is the website you are on right now! It is my personal playground, always evolving as I experiment with new layouts, service offerings, and design ideas. Right now it functions as a portfolio, but an e-commerce shop is coming soon where customers will be able to purchase and download digital stationery designs directly.
www.albaCIano.com
Alba Ciano is my professional portfolio for translation, copywriting, and English teaching services, based here in my hometown in Central Italy. It is a clean, single-page site designed to clearly communicate what I offer, how much it costs, and how to get in touch. I actually built this one in Canva, which I find to be a wonderful option for clients who want something polished and easy to update without the overhead of a full WordPress build.
www.wickedbunniez.com
Wickedbunniez is the brand home for Daniela Frascaria, the American social media influencer behind the Wickedbunniez universe of girly fashion, thrift hauls, plushies, and kawaii aesthetics. The site reflects her playful, over-the-top personality with animated gifs, bubbly copy, and a pink-drenched visual style. It serves as a portfolio and media kit for brand collaborations, with a shop coming soon.
www.musicaldramaticarts.org
This is the nonprofit website for the Musical Dramatic Arts Foundation, founded by writer and composer Douglas Tappin. The site presents the foundation’s mission, introduces its board of directors, and invites visitors to support the work through donations. It is intentionally clean and focused for now, with plans to grow as the foundation expands its programming.
www.douglastappin.com
This is a personal portfolio site for Douglas Tappin, writer and composer of musical and dramatic works staged in both the UK and the USA. The design is clean and understated, letting his biography and body of work speak for themselves. It is built to make a strong first impression on producers, collaborators, and anyone discovering his work for the first time.
