JD Dorfman Consulting Website Design
A local disaster preparedness consultant needed a website to establish credibility, communicate his offerings, and make it easy for potential clients to get in touch. He didn’t need anything complex — just a clean, straightforward online presence. Like many solopreneurs, he wasn’t sure where to start, which platform to use, or what the site should include.He needed guidance not just on design, but also on content, layout, cost, and long-term maintenance — all while staying within a limited budget and avoiding unnecessary technical overhead.Services Provided:

Successfully created a fully functional website: JD Dorfman Consulting
This project was a reminder that good web design isn’t always about advanced features or flashy effects — it’s about clarity, fit, and solving the right problem. By focusing on the client's actual needs and walking through each decision together, we landed on a solution that balanced budget, usability, and professional design.
NUIIX Usability Consultation
A startup in the AI tech space approached me with a set of wireframes for their new homepage. Their goal was to communicate their value clearly and convert visitors into early adopters. However, as is common with early-stage design drafts, their homepage wireframes lacked clarity, hierarchy, and consistency. The content was dense, the visual rhythm felt off, and the overall page didn’t guide users smoothly toward a key action.The wireframes resembled the layout of a modern tech product site (similar to d-id.com), but the company needed help translating their ambitious vision into a user-centered experience that felt trustworthy, modern, and conversion-focused.Services Provided:

UX/UI Design Recommendations
This project was a great example of how usability guidance early in the design process can dramatically improve a product’s clarity and effectiveness. Many startups focus on features, but overlook how users perceive and navigate their offering on first glance.By applying UX principles to early wireframes, the company avoided costly rework down the line and gave the team a clearer blueprint for building a more user-friendly, high-converting landing page.
Revitalize Health Website Usability Audit and Re-Design
The original website for the chiropractic practice contained issues related to usability, clarity, and trust-building. Visitors faced unclear navigation and site structure, lack of proper hierarchical structure, lengthy blocks of text, and few call-to-action prompts. The design didn’t effectively reflect the client’s professionalism or local presence — ultimately making it harder for new patients to take the next step. With local competition high and most site visitors arriving via mobile search, the website needed to improve upon guiding users quickly and confidently toward booking an appointment.Services Provided:

Optimized website
This project reinforced the power of usability-first design, especially for small service-based businesses. Even on a limited platform and with a lean budget, applying UX principles can make a measurable impact. The process also highlighted how small design choices — like adding a clearer homepage structure or mobile-friendly buttons — can meaningfully reduce user friction.
