my process

I strive to provide an easy and transparent experience for my clients.

1

First, we'll hop on a call or meet over coffee if you’re local so you can tell me about your project and we can get to know each other! I'll put together a proposal, and then we'll sign the contract.

Discovery & Agreement

2

Once the contract’s signed and the deposit’s in, we kick off with a project questionnaire so that I can gather the information and assets I need to get going.

Project Questionnaire

3

To design something that works for your users specifically, I’ll research your industry, competitors, and audience. With research in hand, I’ll map out the structure with wireframes, user flows and site architecture. We’ll lock in how everything works before making it pretty.

Strategy & Structure

4

Once the foundation’s solid, I’ll design the look and feel, involving intentional layout, color, and user experience decisions. Then, I’ll build it into a fully functional, responsive site.

Design & Development

5

Once your site’s built, you’ll have two rounds of revisions to fine-tune anything before we lock in the final version.

Feedback & Revisions

6

I’ll handle the final testing and polishing, then launch your site to the world!
After launch, I’ll provide off-boarding two weeks of follow-up support. I’ll keep an eye on things to make sure everything is running smoothly and performing the way it should.

Hi! My name is Helena.

I'm a web/user experience designer, and what love most about this work is getting to help business owners shine.

When crafting websites, I consider the full user experience. I create experiences that guide your visitors naturally towards actions that spark connections and turn into leads. My favorite part of web design is getting to know your story, goals, and what makes your business special. Then I get to use my skills to bring your vision to life.

I've worked in all kinds of settings, from a Fortune 500 company to a small, local SaaS business, plus fun projects for a comedy agency, a signage company, and grassroots advocacy organizations, among others! 

I got my B.A. in Digital Narrative and Interactive Design in 2022, and have been in the UX field since. Unlike a lot of web designers, I don't just focus on making things look nice, I have training in understanding how people think, navigate, and make decisions online. Every site I build is deeply grounded in user experience principles.

I'd love to help you create a website that genuinely feels like you and works for your business. Let's set up a casual chat to get to know each other, talk through your goals and needs, and see if our styles are a good fit.

Please note I'm currently booking work for Q3 and Q4 2026.

What does Cow Harbor Web Designs mean?

I grew up in a small beach town in New York called Northport. Hundreds of years ago, the first settlers from England used the land, well-suited for farming, to graze their cows on the pastures around the harbor. It quickly became known as Great Cow Harbor.

In modern day, the harbor that was heavily used commercially has transitioned into a beautiful and serene boat launch surrounded by greenery and local storefronts.

I spent my summers downtown as a kid, eating pizza by the ice slice and getting homemade ice cream with friends. I have countless memories in those parks which shaped who I am and the creative lens that I work through today. Combined with my absolute adoration of cows, I knew Cow Harbor Web Designs would be the perfect name for my business.
