I design and build ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฒ websites that are grounded in strategy, shaped by real user needs, and delivered with the kind of craft that makes people stop and take notice. Whether you're launching something brand new, rebuilding something broken, or scaling something that's already working, I bring the full picture. Not a piece of it. All of it. I work independently as part of a design and development agency rated 4.9 on Clutch. That means when you hire me, you're not just getting a freelancer, you're getting someone shaped by agency-level standards, peer review, and a culture of doing the work properly. Every project I take on carries that same discipline, the same attention to detail, and the same commitment to outcomes that actually matter. WHAT I ACTUALLY DO: I cover the full product lifecycle, from the first conversation to the last deployment and everything in between. Discovery & Strategy Before a single pixel is placed or a single line of code is written, I dig in. I ask the hard questions. Who are we building this for? What problem does it solve? What does success actually look like? I use UX research, business analysis, systems thinking, and product analytics to make sure we're building the right thing AND not just building a thing. Design; Identity, Interface & Experience I design brands that mean something. Visual identities, logo systems, typography, colour built with intent, not trend. On the digital side, I design interfaces that feel effortless to use: clean information architecture, intuitive flows, and visual design that reflects the quality of what's behind it. I've worked across editorial design, marketing websites, SaaS platforms, GoHighLevel funnels, landing pages, and e-commerce; each one treated as its own creative and strategic problem to solve. Development & Build Design without delivery is just decoration. I build what I design, and I build it properly. Responsive, performant, accessible, and maintainable. I handle website development, platform migrations, CMS builds, and 3D web experiences โ€” and I'm comfortable working across modern web stacks to get the job done right. AI โ€” Added When It Matters I don't bolt AI onto projects to sound current. I integrate it when it genuinely improves the product whether that's automating workflows, personalising user experiences, or embedding intelligent features that give your product a real edge. Sometimes AI is at the core of what we're building from day one. Other times, we build a clean, solid foundation first and layer AI in when the data and timing are right. Either way, the decision is always intentional. Post-Launch โ€” Support, Growth & Optimisation Launching is not the finish line. I offer ongoing support and maintenance, SEO and GEO optimisation, quality assurance, DevOps, and information security because a great product needs to be kept great. I don't disappear after delivery. I stick around to make sure what we built keeps performing. My areas of expertise include: โ†’ Web Design & Development โ†’ Visual Identity & Brand Systems โ†’ Editorial Design (Web & Print) โ†’ GoHighLevel Funnel Design & Build โ†’ Website Migration & Platform Transfers โ†’ 3D Website Development โ†’ UX/UI Design โ†’ AI Integration & Automation โ†’ SEO / GEO Optimisation โ†’ Support, Maintenance & DevOps Certifications & Training - Specialization in Branding & Typographic Communication โ€” Domestika - Grid, Layout & Color Mastery โ€” Obys Agency - 3D Website Development โ€” Dreamax If you're ready to move from idea to execution or ready to take what exists and make it significantly better, send me a message. I respond quickly, I ask good questions, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit for what you need.

Your business has grown. Your website hasn't. I build Framer websites, Figma-to-Framer conversions, and high-converting landing pages for companies whose current website no longer matches what they've actually built. Most Framer developers start with the design. I start with your customer. Every project begins with how your customers think, what they notice first, what earns their trust, what makes them act. The visual design on Figma and Framer development follow the strategy. That's why the sites I build don't just look good. They work. Think about the last premium business you walked into. The finishings, the service, the way everything felt deliberate. You knew what they charged before anyone told you, because the environment said it first. Your website works the same way. In 2026, more people visit your website than will ever walk into your office. It is your reception. It is your showroom. It is the first place someone decides whether your business feels like the real thing or not. And yet most premium businesses, ones with beautiful products, high-end service, serious pricing, and real credibility, are running websites that donโ€™t come close to reflecting any of that. Itโ€™s like walking into a Rolls Royce dealership with a broken front door. That gap is what I close. For SaaS founders and startups. You need a marketing site that makes complex things feel simple and makes visitors want to sign up. I build SaaS landing pages and full marketing websites in Framer that do exactly that, clean UX/UI design, conversion-optimised layouts, SEO-friendly structure, and Framer development that's fast enough to keep up with how quickly you move. Have a Figma design already? I'll convert it to Framer pixel-perfectly. Starting from scratch? I handle both. For established businesses going online. Law firms, real estate companies, financial services, consultancies, if your website looks like it was built five years ago, it's costing you credibility every single day. If it looks cheap, your clients misunderstand why you charge a premium, a website is usually the first impression they have about your business and you know what they say about first impressions. I build premium, professional websites in Framer that close the gap between who you are and how you show up online. WordPress to Framer migrations, full website redesigns, custom Framer builds from scratch, framer templates customisations, all mobile-first, all production-ready. For e-commerce and DTC brands. Your website is your storefront. I design and build brand-forward Framer websites and product landing pages where everything, the visual hierarchy, the copy flow, the CTA placement, is working to move product. Clean, fast, conversion-focused. Built to make your brand look as good as what you're selling. For growth marketers and performance teams. Landing pages for paid campaigns live and die on one thing: does it convert? I build high-converting landing pages in Framer for A/B testing, lead generation, and paid ad traffic, above-the-fold hierarchy, friction-free forms, trust signals in the right places, CTA psychology throughout. If you're spending money to drive traffic, the page should be worth it. I'll make sure it is. Here's what the track record looks like. 40 projects completed and counting. 100% Job Success Score. Top Rated Plus, Upwork's highest freelancer distinction. Not because I overpromise, but because I treat every project like my name is on it. Because it is. And the clients? They tend to say it better than I can. "In all the years I've worked with freelancers, Jephthah is by far the best ever. His attention to detail, communication & UX expertise is second to none." โ€” Kylie B. "Hiring Jephthah was the best decision ever. We got a state of the art one-pager website designed on Framer. It looks great, it opens fast, and is easy to navigate." โ€” Robin R. I work best with businesses that are serious about their online presence and want it done right. Send me a message with your project details. Iโ€™ll respond as soon I see it. โ€”โ€” When clients search for a Framer Expert, Framer Developer, or Framer Designer, they find me. When they need a Landing Page Designer, UX/UI Designer, Product Designer, or Web Designer, they find me. Whether the job is Figma to Framer conversion, Framer template customisation, Framer CMS setup, Framer animations, or a full Framer website redesign โ€” that's my work. I've built SaaS websites, SaaS landing pages, startup websites, B2B websites, e-commerce websites, DTC brand websites, luxury websites, real estate websites, fintech websites, consultant websites, personal brand websites, coaching websites, and agency websites. The through-line is always the same: conversion-focused web design, responsive Framer development, and mobile-first builds that perform. Services include: custom web design, Figma to Framer, WordPress to Framer migration, website redesign, no-code development, Webflow development, l

I design and build digital products and websites, end to end. Two sides to what I do. As a product designer, I take SaaS apps, dashboards, and mobile products from research and user flows through UI, design systems, and dev-ready handoff. As a designer who codes, I then design and build the product or site around it, from page-builder WordPress to fully custom Next.js, plus the custom web tools, automations, programmatic SEO, and on-brand AI image and video that make it all land. I spent two years at Input Output (Cardano) leading UI/UX across the Sidechains department and the RealFi initiative, a Cardano-backed fintech platform connecting global investors with borrowers in emerging markets. Alongside that, I have ~15 years designing and building websites for small businesses across construction, fintech, hospitality, ecommerce, automotive, healthtech, and real estate. What I can deliver: โ€ข Product design: SaaS dashboards, mobile apps, design systems, prototypes, dev handoff โ€ข End-to-end UX: research, user flows, IA, and interaction design for complex products โ€ข Brand strategy, UX audits, and design advisory โ€ข CMS builds for small businesses, with a handover your team can actually edit โ€ข Custom Next.js builds, conversion pages, and lightweight web apps on Tailwind and Vercel โ€ข On-brand AI image and video direction: custom image libraries and marketing visuals โ€ข SEO, AEO, and schema markup so Google understands your pages and serves them up Typical timelines: โ€ข CMS / WordPress / Webflow / Framer build: 1 to 2 weeks โ€ข Custom Next.js site: 1 to 2 weeks โ€ข AI image library or marketing visuals: 1 to 2 weeks โ€ข SEO and schema setup: 1 to 2 weeks โ€ข UX audit and report: 1 to 3 days โ€ข Mobile app (10 to 15 screens): 1 to 2 weeks โ€ข SaaS dashboard (15 to 30 screens): 1 to 2 weeks โ€ข Full SaaS product design: 3 to 6 weeks I can jump in at any stage: a full product design from research to handoff, a SaaS dashboard, a one-off WordPress build, a UX audit, or AI image direction for a marketing push. If you're building something real and want a partner who treats it like their own, send me your brief.
