At Design with Miller, I believe there is something exciting about taking on a brief and pushing the limits to deliver a creative piece of work. Design isn't always creating shapes and playing around with colours, it takes an ambitious, curious, and creative mindset to deliver professional results that push the boundaries and also yourself. Design with Miller is the studio you can count on to get the job done on time, on budget, and with professional results.
Even though I am based in Wellington, New Zealand, I work with agencies, businesses, and non-profits all around the world. To work with people from every corner of the world is extremely rewarding. I have helped clients across the United States, Canada, Thailand, Nepal, Costa Rica, Australia, and New Zealand.
Designing a website isn’t just about making a website that holds information. It’s a branding tool and the design process opens the door for a chance to really focus on creating a website that is unique and stands out. Don’t think of this just as a time to create a website, but an overall branding project. It is a perfect time to take a step back and think: “What am I about?” “What are my goals?” “What makes me different?”
First we meet and connect with you and your team to analyse what you envision for the website and plan the next steps. This phase includes:
Once we are on the same page, the layout begins. I will build wireframes from the information given by the sitemap. Wireframes are the skeletons of the website process. You will see how the website will be organized and how the information will all flow together. The list of key steps in this phase include:
In this phase you will see physical elements of the website come together. Color palettes, images, fonts, icons, and backgrounds will be created and designed in this phase. I use Figma to design all of my websites. It is a great tool for the client to see how the website comes to life in real time. This phase includes:
In this phase I will use the sitemap, wireframes, and mockups to develop/build out the website. I build my websites using Webflow, a powerful CMS that is completely customizable, user-friendly, and optimised. After your website is up and running I can help maintain your site at an hourly rate. This phase includes:
From small businesses in need of a website to non-profits driven to help their communities, Design with Miller is proud to have worked with these wonderful people. Below are just a few of many that have appreciated the work that I have done.
Tonic Lab is a Marketing, Digital, and Design recruitment agency. I have been working with Lisa Maathuis at Tonic Lab to assist them in designing marketing material for their clients and also for the agency. This has included multiple websites, brand guidelines, email templates, landing pages, social graphics, ebooks, and more. The team at Tonic Lab can focus on marketing and recruiting while Design with Miller maintains the Tonic Lab website and assists in design.
