Brand-Focused Web Designer & Creative Strategist for Speaker/Coach Website

I am looking for an experienced web designer/brand-focused creative to redesign my professional speaker website. I am a motivational speaker, workshop facilitator, author, and coach. I’m looking for someone who can translate my personality, message, and brand into a distinctive, polished, engaging website, not a generic speaker template or a pre-built theme with content dropped into it. The primary audience is HR professionals, event planners, organizations, and corporate decision-makers. The site needs to quickly establish credibility, communicate what I offer, create interest, and make it easy to take the next step. Initial project includes Redesign and build a professional website of approximately 6 pages, including: * Home * About * Speaking * Workshops * Book * Contact The site should include strong calls to action, workshop information, testimonials, professional photography, speaking footage/video, inquiry/contact functionality, and integration with appropriate scheduling/email marketing tools. I already have a logo, branding, photography, speaking footage, testimonials, book/workbook materials, and existing website/content that can serve as source material. I am looking for someone who brings creative and strategic thinking, not simply technical execution. Example: That person should be able to look at my materials and advise how they think we should position content etc, structure the information, guide the visitor, and visually communicate my brand, and explain why. The finished site should feel: * Professional and credible * Modern and visually engaging * Warm, authentic, and personal * Easy to navigate * Designed around the visitor/user experience * Appropriate for corporate and professional audiences * Distinctive enough to stand apart from typical speaker/coach websites * Built to grow as my speaking and workshop business grows Looking for someone with strong experience in: * Web design * Brand strategy/positioning * Visual communication * UX/UI and conversion-focused design * Responsive/mobile design * Professional copy/content presentation * Website development Experience designing websites for speakers, coaches, consultants, authors, or personal brands is highly desirable. How I like to work… I value good communication, collaboration, honesty, and thoughtful recommendations. I do not wish to micromanage the designer or dictate every element. I want to provide my vision, materials, and goals and have an experienced professional bring ideas and expertise to the table. At the same time, I want to be involved in the creative direction and have the opportunity to review and refine the work before launch. I am looking for someone who takes pride in the finished product and is interested in creating something excellent rather than simply checking off the deliverables.
