When I get requests to develop websites, they come in all shapes and sizes, different businesses require different things. I aim to tailor each solution to each client. Some clients have a look at the portfolio and like what they see. Naturally, this fills me with joy. I love both criticism and praise, it helps me grow as a designer. The client then decides they want something similar for their site.

While it is easy for me to replicate a style of work I have done before, I advocate to each client that this design may not be the perfect fit. No one wants to spend all day trying to fit a triangle into the mould of a circle.
