What I look after.

Branding

Email
Care

I designed and built East End Therapist from start to finish: the branding and brand kit, the layout, the visual elements and the optimisation.

The client had no technical, design or branding background, so I led the whole process: I listened to what they needed, studied their industry and competitors, and chose colours and a look that fit the people they serve.

I set up their business email on the domain from scratch: MX records, verification and forwarding to their personal inbox.

I host and maintain the site and look after the practice's email, so it's always there for the people who need it.
