“Steven Crayne was very upfront with how he could resolve my issues. I appreciate that he made the work plan very clear. Juliana Hawkinson made modifications to my website that were exceptional, extremely professional and intuitive. I cannot say enough good things about her expertise. I thank both of these people and highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with their website.
Thanks again”

Steps to Solve/Tools
- Personally meet with clients over Zoom and/or discuss web edits with Steve
- Take meeting notes using personally-designed outline. Steve requested copy of outline.
- Design home page from Steve’s past clients’ websites templates.
- Meet with client to discuss homepage design. Apply edits until homepage approved.
- Once homepage approved, create the other webpages. Number of homepages designed before secondary meeting depend on site complexity.
- Review website using Steve’s quality control checklist
- Launch website (soft or hard launch, depending on clients’ needs).
Reflection
I love going to work everyday. My experience with the Nine (see Nine, LLC. tab in the menu) helped me to succeed in this role now because I communicate with clients directly and indirectly. Also, website edits are fun to me because I apply my continuing knowledge of web development, usability, WordPress (for site migrations), and growing knowledge of Wix.
As Director of QC, any and all edits relating to web design, usability, accessibility depend on me. Although this can be intimidating at times, I value the opportunity to demonstrate my academic and web design skills.
