Web Design and Development

Effective web design should be clean and simple, with an emphasis on readability and usability. Simplicity accomplishes many things on the web – it is more aesthetically pleasing, it focuses the user on a specific goal or call to action, results in a faster loading site, and a better experience on mobile devices. I have experience building effective, well-designed websites that are responsive and naturally search-engine friendly.

  • Thank you again so much for all of your help getting the images to the website by Wednesday. I passed my orals with flying color in large part thanks to you!  I know i've said it before, but I am absolutely super happy about how the site turned out and couldn't have asked for a nicer and more accommodating person to work with on this. You made it all seem really do-able and that helped so much.

  • Laura Shurtleff designed the website and logo for our restaurant, Odd Duck - www.oddduckrestaurant.com.  We love the design and get tons of compliments on it all the time!  It has translated well into all sorts of mediums.  The website is perfect and easy to work with.  Laura is incredibly responsive, super timely, and really great at taking your vision and making it a reality.  I would recommend her work to anyone!

  • Laura really took the reins to get new responsive templates working for MotoSport promotional emails. It's a timely next step for our email templates making a better connection with our customers going forward and she didn't hesitate in getting it done well. Both Laura and the rest of the Creative team have taken the first step in making the emails easier to build and maintain going forward.
