The brief

Together with Amelia from Koha Marketing and collaborating again with Ben from The Null Co, I was part of the small team to deliver the new website for the family-run business Dart Wealth Management.

Pete was looking for something straightforward, professional and importantly, lighter on the planet. I delivered the build and delivery of the new website to Ben’s design and Amelia’s client oversight.

The outcome

As a small team, we have delivered on the brief, creating a new digital presence for Dart Wealth Management.

Design

The website is lightweight, easy to understand and straightforward to navigate for the target audience. A pleasant colour palette helping to lift the UI whilst staying true to the existing branding.

Development

Based upon WordPress, the website is client-friendly and fully editable. Using a custom series of content blocks, the pages are flexible and can easily be changed over time as the website needs.

With the low-carbon standards in place, the frontend remains lightweight, as well as the CMS backend which has been simplified to only include what is necessary. With server-based and frontend optimisations, matched with the 100% renewable hosting with Krystal, the website is ready to stand the test of time for the client and the planet.

Working with Nick Lewis to develop my website was a stress-free and seamless experience. Nick was incredibly helpful, especially when I faced challenges with DNS for my emails, he was at hand to quickly sort out my errors! His focus on sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint was impressive and aligned perfectly with our values. He was very efficient and developed the website within the agreed timeline. I highly recommend Nick to anyone seeking a sustainable web developer for their business.
