Tessa Elwood – Web Developer

In a society that googles everything, a website is a must—and a good website lends credibility and professionalism. More, it makes it easy for a potential client or reader to find the information they need to choose this book or that service. My designs are all about my clients, translating their likes and goals into a visual interface. Classy, professional, dark, whimsical, image-intense or highly minimal—everything from look to function is tailored to your tastes.

The process is easy. We'll discuss what you’d like in a site—style, mood, and function—and I’ll mockup some designs. These will grow and change as you provide input. Once the site is finished and live, I will walk you through how to update your content yourself.

Want to update your site without overhauling it? Sometimes a site needs fresh graphics or organization within its current framework to really shine. Or maybe it's simply time for a change. Either way, we can work with what you have to give you what you need.

Social Media & Ads

This includes themed branding across all your socials, newsletter, and/or book promo images to use on your favorite sites.

Print Design

Logos, book club kits or reader guides, bookmarks, postcards, business cards, posters, coloring pages—I've designed everything from book covers to CD cases to oracle cards. If you need print materials, I can provide you with digital files you can use anywhere or take to the printer of your choice.

Canva

For any of the print or ad designs, I can setup projects in Canva so you can edit the text for your custom flyer/ad/reader's guide. The design and images are all done in photoshop, then I'll transfer it over to the Canva setup. The text will all be within your control, so if you'd like to switch it out—or even swap out book covers—you totally can.
