01
Hi! My name is Haley Withers and I’m a Brand & Web Designer + Developer based in North Wales, United Kingdom.
02
Outside work you will often find me surfing, traveling or out for a walk in the hills with my dog. (VIEW)
03
But on a typical workday, I am usually designing brands and websites, obsessing over my incredible clients and sipping on a black coffee from my V60.
04
My day usually starts with cuddling my dog.
05
Most of the time I am working on branding, packaging and web design.
06
What are your first memories of the Internet?
Myspace, Xanga, HTML - oh my! I came of age in the golden era of the internet (or so I believe). I've been slinging code around since my very first all HTML website about frogs. Myspace was the evolution and my ultimate creative expression.
07
What is the best part about the process of building websites for you?
I love the whole process! Designing the website speaks to my soul while bringing it to life speaks to my problem solving mind.
08
What is your favorite stretch or pastime in between coding?
A good shake out - going to the gym, doing some yoga or getting outside in any capacity, preferably a surf!
09
How would you describe your Standout Style in 2-3 words? Editorial. Minimalist. Modern.
10
Which Standout workshops do you find yourself incorporating most often on your website projects?
Sticky & Scrolling sections, Image on Hover, Mega Menu, Scrolling Marquee, literally all of them! I love trying new things on all projects.
11
What makes your work standout?
That I love to push the limits of what is possible, especially on the web. My style is finding your style, but I tend towards more minimalistic, type driven, grid layouts for that editorial feel. Personally, I am drawn towards calming, quiet and natural spaces and this is reflected in personal projects. That being said, I love to explore different design styles that push me out of my comfort zone!
12
What are the biggest takeaways from the Standout programs?
That nothing is impossible! The Standout programmes have broadened what I believe is possible with code, especially on a platform like Squarespace and Shopify. We can truly bring our wildest visions to life.
13
What is your dream website project?
My dream website project would be for an architect! I'd love to create minimalist typography driven exploration of the built spaces they are creating. I'd also love to work with more product based businesses especially those in the food and beverage industries!
