Here’s some websites I’ve designed

Landing page for Dearna Bond website

Dearna Bond

Dearna and I first connected through my family yoga sessions. After capturing some beautiful images for me, I had the opportunity to design her minimal, modern website — a space that lets her work truly shine.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Louise on the creation of my new website. From our very first conversation, she took the time to really listen and understand my goals and vision, approaching everything with professionalism and attention to detail. 

The final result exceeded my expectations - it’s not only visually beautiful, but also perfectly aligned with my brand. The hand-over process was particularly great; I really appreciated the opportunity to go through the website in person and going over how to maintain it myself moving forward, and Louise also provided documentation to help with this.

I’m so grateful for her work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and dedicated web designer.”

I built this eye-catching website for my extremely talented husband who is a horticulturist.

“Louise not only built me a fantastic website, but she also gave me a better understanding of my clientele and the direction in which I wanted my business to go. She was thorough in her initial consultation which led to a smooth, quick turnaround.”

It was such a pleasure to help fellow twin mum, Maddy get her dream business off the ground by creating this whimsy website.

“If you need help bringing your vision and website to life, I can’t recommended Louise more.

I took over a business and needed a whole new website. Louise took every idea and vision I had and created a website with the exact feel and functionality I wanted. She also guided me with my business and gave advice and feedback which was great.”

I’ve loved working on this grass roots community project. Building my brothers local cricket website, Old Ivanhoe Grammarians Cricket Club.

“We at The Old Ivanhoe Grammarians cricket club sought after constructing our cricket club website through Louisemakes. We found that her eye for detail was exactly what we were looking for. Her openness to create our vision meant that she was able to work along side us and that no suggestion was too much. The website was constructed in a timely manner and is perfect. Thanks Louise!”
