My Expertise
Visual Content Creation
Beyond design, I also focus on creating customized visual content for websites and applications. With a passion for photography, I capture unique images that add aesthetic value and authenticity to the project. When needed, I personally handle the production of photographic, illustrative, and videographic material.
Responsive Design
Responsive Design is essential in UX/UI design to ensure that an interface provides an optimal experience on any device, regardless of screen size or orientation. It’s also a key factor for SEO, as search engines favor mobile-optimized sites, improving the visibility and accessibility of online content.
Motion Design
Motion Design serves to enhance communication and usability within a digital interface. Animations can clarify relationships between elements, provide immediate feedback, and make interaction more intuitive. It helps to create a sense of continuity and flow in the user experience, eliminating abrupt transitions between actions.
Visual Design
In Visual Design the work goes beyond just aesthetics; it serves as a bridge between functionality and emotions. I create interfaces that not only look good but also enhance usability by guiding users naturally through their cases. The goal is to evoke the right emotions, and create a memorable experience.

Prototyping
Prototyping is a crucial phase for rapidly testing and iterating on design ideas. I create interactive prototypes that simulate the final user experience, allowing for exploration and validation of solutions before development.

What is the cost of website development?
The cost of website development depends on various factors, including the complexity of the design, the features you need, and the number of pages. As a general guide, my pricing starts from €900 for a basic landing page and goes up to €2,500 for a standard website with 5-6 pages. Web applications, which are more complex and feature-rich than regular websites, are priced differently due to the additional development work involved. For example, a web application might include features like user account management, real-time data processing, or complex interactive elements—similar to what you’d find in an online booking system or a custom e-commerce platform. For a precise quote tailored to your project, don't hesitate to contact me with your specific requirements.
