Project Overview

Creative Director Todd Sadler came to me with a vision to revamp his portfolio website. His old website used an off-the-shelf WordPress template that lacked the originality needed to stand out in a competitive industry. He wanted a new design to mimic Google's iconic search interface and minimalist aesthetic.

My Approach

Working in the creative industry, I know how important it is for your portfolio to stand out. I was excited to help Todd bring this unique idea to life with a portfolio that matched his creativity.

Using the Google home page and its design style for inspiration, I quickly created a Figma prototype to share with Todd. Following a few stylistic tweaks to the design, I started building. Given the limited budget, I relied on WordPress's built-in functions to add custom features without needing paid plugins. Due to our close collaboration and efficient build process, we completed the new website in under two weeks.

We worked hard to ensure that Todd's new website fitted his Google-inspired vision but also worked well with his content.

Impact

"PERFECT. I love the site!!!" were Todd's words after completing his website. A great portfolio should reflect its owner's creativity. With his new website, Todd can feel confident finding new job opportunities with a strong portfolio that matches their creative vision and is proud to share.

What does Todd say?

Jack is the real deal. I came to him with a loose vision, and he turned it into something far better than I ever imagined without blowing the budget. His communication was flawless throughout the process, and no change was ever too much trouble. Jack made sure every detail matched exactly what I wanted. Nothing seems impossible for him. He's seriously talented, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
