JACQUI THOMAS
Blog web design to inspire and showcase life coach
INSPIRATIONAL LIFE COACH AND OUTSTANDING JOURNALIST JACQUI THOMAS NEEDED A STUNNING NEW BRAND & BLOG WEB DESIGN TO SHOWCASE HERSELF AND HOUSE HER WELL-FOLLOWED INSPIRATIONAL ARTICLES.
With great content at hand from Jacqui this Life Coach Website Design was able to evolve into a really well-rounded blog web site design that sits on the cusp of being a mini-magazine almost. Pushing WordPress’s boundaries at the time it’s four sections were uniquely styled with every detail coloured to fit.
No stone was left unturned in its web design and development!

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“It’s no secret that website design and development has been a major cause of grief for me over the last three years. But finally, several web design companies later (not to mention thousands of dollars, hundreds of chocolate bars and countless gray hairs!!) I now have a website that is fully functional AND looks great…. and I love it!!
The woman behind showing me that successfully creating a website IS actually possible is the fantastic Belinda Duffy of Duffy Design. Belinda was recommended to me by a friend who had endured three years of my website woes over numerous coffees. And bless her, Belinda took it upon herself to personally guarantee that I would have a positive website experience, resulting in a fantastic website. And she certainly delivered.
I have had many web companies tell me over the years that I couldn’t have cool design AND functionality, that I would have to choose which was my strongest priority. I could never understand why I couldn’t have both and Belinda confirmed my gut instinct, that this is utter hogwash. If your web design company is telling you this – RUN! Yes, you can have a website that looks good, and also works. No, it is not an unrealistic expectation! If your company is telling you this, then it may be that they have staff that specialise in one or the other.
In Belinda’s case, she is primarily a designer. She did all the design work for my brand and website www.jacquithomas.com from the overall layout down to individual little buttons and design features. Belinda also works closely with a web development company that she uses to create the back end / functionality of the website, ie the code. This can be where it all falls apart if the design team clashes with the development team. As well as designing my site, Belinda project managed the complete website development and ensured that all aspects of functionality were covered off, as well as making sure that the design was fully implemented as she had intended.
Belinda’s attention to detail and photographic memory is amazing. No matter how stressful the project gets (and given my website history, it didn’t take much to push my buttons!) she manages to remain calm and good humoured. I’d go so far as to say, she’s quite unflappable. She really went the extra mile for me and for this I am extremely grateful.
As an aside she also is the parent of a small child and can be found working at strange hours of the night. If you have weird nocturnal habits like me, these crazy extra working hours can be an added bonus. I am delighted to be able to recommend Belinda Duffy – Duffy Design to my clients, colleagues and friends.”
