“fáilte.|
/ˈfɑːltə,Irish ˈfɑːlʲtʲə/
Pronounced: fawl·chuh
An act or instance of welcoming.”
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
We got 3 computers at school when I was around 8 years old and we were all allowed to have a turn. I searched PUPPIES and then played with a paint program and created a drawing (design?) for my mum.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I LOVE taking mockups and turning them into live working websites, using code to add special touches that can't be achieved otherwise - it's so exciting for me and for clients to see things coming to life.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
In between coding big projects I like to get outside, get some fresh air and reset. I also like to do pilates when I can or simply just clean, tidy and reorganise my space. I think having a calming, fresh work space can help so much!
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Minimalist. Dark. Romantic.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Sticky split screen scrolling seems very popular with photographers who are my main clients. It's a great way to show off a portfolio of work without making the website look really long.
11
What makes your work standout?
I like creating more moody, cosy websites that people can feel at home when visiting.
12
What are some of your proudest works you've worked on?
I recently designed and built a template for photographers. Being a personal project it meant I could use elements and pieces of code I'd been wanting to try but maybe hadn't had the chance yet. I incorporated a mega menu, video banners, sticky scrolling portfolio and custom blog layout. It was a great way to practice my skills and I have had many clients reference elements of this template meaning I could use these sections again for client projects.
13
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
When starting Standout Squarespace I was worried I wasn't clever enough to be able to understand and create technically coded websites. I've since learned that even a small amount of smart and clever coding can add a huge difference and make websites standout and be special. For me it's not about making the most technical, code filled website, but creating something beautiful where the client can feel at home and be proud to share.
14
What is your dream website project?
My dream project would be either a Scottish landscape or wedding photographer website, or an architectural project. Anything with beautiful, rugged imagery.
