I lend expert leadership to projects of all sizes and shapes, leveraging my extensive experience to make the process of creating your website transparent, logical, and fun. My most common project for clients is creating or recreating a website from scratch using your completed content and site architecture and target websites you want to emulate. I can help you collect or create all the necessary assets if you don't have them yet. My process is highly transparent and collaborative, so you will know exactly what we're doing together every step of the way. Whether it's a global corporate home base, an eCommerce shop, a portal for medical services, a SaaS showcase, a lead gen funnel for a consulting company, a fintech pitch, or a law firm, I deliver web designs my clients love and WordPress rigs they find easy to manage on their own for years down the line. Typical components of my projects include: ✅ Responsive, Original, Captivating Web Design ✅ Top-To-Bottom WordPress Development ✅ Complete Website Customization ✅ Ecommerce Development ✅ Transparent Communication and Receptive Feedback Sessions ✅ Total Focus On How to Communicate Your Brand in Every Detail ✅ Complete Responsibility For The Whole Picture, From Our First Creative Session To Site Launch ✅ Clear Instructions For How to Update Your Site Yourself ✅ Very Happy Clients My understanding of how to translate your brand and message into a memorable website is based on years of accumulated first-hand experience and an academic rigor that ensures success. I graduated with honors from Harvard, where I designed and conducted social psychology experiments. I love to integrate this education into my web projects. 📞 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁. 📞 Here's why you'll wish we started working together sooner: 🔸 I deliver top-notch results the first time. Many clients come to me after taking a chance with unproven talent or untrained in-house resources. Hiring me ensures you will launch with something that makes you proud for years without headaches. 🔸 My designs are wholly original and highly specialized for the vertical and brand. You will receive a superior design that makes your audience feel at home while being totally new. 🔸 You are not dependent on me! My development process is always transparent, and everything I do is geared to let you be involved in as much of the backend as you want after we launch. Your WordPress CMS will be optimized for ease of use. (Most of my clients ask me to maintain their sites over time, especially for new customizations or to navigate new WordPress or PHP upgrades, but none of them feels I'm the only one who can do it.) 🔸 You get a cross-discipline expert who takes responsibility for your message in every area of design and development. Too often, the main message gets lost between the cracks of a team or agency. That never happens with me. I'm your man, down to every detail. My areas of expertise include: 🛠 Comprehensive Website Development 🛠 Responsive Web Design 🛠 Complete Website Redesign + Redevelopment 🛠 Unlimited WordPress and WooCommerce Customization 🛠 eCommerce Development 🛠 Development Languages (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP) 🛠 SEO Fundamentals and Technical Implementation 🛠 Landing Page Development 🛠 Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) I hope you become one of my many happy clients. Reach out by inviting me to your project. I look forward to it! All the best, Stephen Frick ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❝ Stephen's work ethic stands out far above 99% of people. Add in Stephen's terrific personality, his patience, knowledge and expertise and our project with Stephen finished at a 10+. ❞ 🗣 John & Tammy Fredrickson - Owners - John Fredrickson Real Estate (Sotheby's) 🗣

"Stephen is a great communicator and partner. TL/DR: He acts like someone who's on your team, and provides good counsel as well as delivers a good product. Our startup is small and none of us had experience setting up a WordPress site, so Stephen was good about directing our efforts and setting expectations. In retrospect, I wish I had spent more time drafting copy ahead of time, before I kicked off the project. But Stephen was really patient with us and was willing to put in the time to adjust our copy to make it just right, which I personally appreciated very much. We had started out with a Wix site, but needed to upgrade to Wordpress to support some calculator features we wanted to test, and I underestimated how much work we needed to do on our wording/positioning from that first version. Stephen helped us get to a more professional and well-designed site that could support that plug-in feature, and made some pretty critical design changes that emphasized our content in ways we wouldn't have been able to design ourselves in Wix. Outside of a great high level design, there were a lot of small but high-impact design elements he incorporated. Some examples were a video loop on the hero image that emphasized a theme we cared about, and some menu scrolling functions that were small, but made the site look very professional. Stephen also project managed the creation of our calculator plug-in feature with another back end developer, and ensured that it was visually aligned to our website's design. Translating our excel calculations into the plug-in was a challenge (to be clear, this wasn't a basic pricing calculator. It was some pretty heavy investment math with a chart plugin and multiple pages), but this is where I felt that Stephen's design abilities really came through for us. He restructured some of our pages/features in the calculator, without us asking, that made the UX much stronger. Stephen was the voice of reason on ways to simplify and make that data more readable to our target users, which was a welcome and very needed viewpoint for our team. As I said above, he's a partner and it felt like we were working with another member of our team. All in all, I would highly recommend Stephen."

"When spending upwards of $5,000+ to hire someone on upwork, nothing shall be accepted but the best. Along comes Stephen, website developer extraordinaire. Throughout the entire process of designing this website, stephen was communicative, he went the extra mile (even going into his own pocket to cover some extra features for the site), and making sure I (the client) was satisfied the entire time. What happened after all of this? A masterpiece was created. If I would have known how good Stephen was ahead of time, I would have paid him twice as much! (but don't tell him that;) Point is. Whatever you want designed, simply look at Stephen's portfolio, look at this review, and ask yourself if you want a great website mixed with a seamless experience when creating it.. THEN HIRE STEPHEN NOW!"

"Stephen stays true to his word and meets all milestones and deadlines as outlined, making the process so less stressful than I know it could have been. He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and his communication style is the best of anyone I have ever worked with on Upwork or professionally, for that matter. Stephen communicates in a calm and informative manner and with great patience. He also navigated us away from making bad choices when he felt they would not benefit us in the long run. I look forward to working with him on future projects!"

"Stephen created a showcase website for my work that I love and that truly impresses my colleagues. The completely original and simple design connects and sticks, and it feels like it really represents me. Process wise, Stephen is a delight to work with. He was patient with me when I was supposed to deliver things he needed, his creative ideas were always spot on, and he made the whole otherwise overwhelming process easy to understand. You can trust Stephen to handle all the details and to be there when changes need to be made or when a problem arises. Five stars all the way, I highly recommend him!"
