Overview
I am a self-taught, Front-End Web Designer specializing in WordPress/Elementor, Squarespace, and Wix. Over the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of working with writers from various fiction and non-fiction genres. I can take your project from concept to completion. I also offer re-design for existing websites that might need a refresh to improve look and feel, as well as content organization and UX.
My design approach is proactive and client-driven. My goal is to deliver websites that enhance your message and generate maximum engagement. I consider each project a collaboration, and I rely on client feedback and regular communication. My job is not finished until your vision is realized.

CLIENT REVIEWS
“Sharon is a phenomenal designer. She listens, gets to know your company, and thinks about how to translate your needs into a stunning, intuitive, and user-friendly website. She’s flexible, timely, and a pleasure to work with. When I need her help - whether explaining technical issues, giving advice about content, or problem-solving - she is always at the ready. It is rare to find a designer like Sharon who knows how to translate content and business objectives both visually and operationally into practice. I will only use her for my web needs - she’s that good!”

“Sharon Reaves has a keen eye, a strong sense of design, is a great listener, and has a vast knowledge of website building. These are the skills I was looking for in a web designer. She was eager to answer any questions I had and very helpful in explaining what I needed to know for my site, and made my participation very easy and approachable. I recommend her highly!”

Wilde Pitch
This was a new Squarespace project for a book intended to be released on the website, a few chapters at a time each week.
We used the blog function for the chapters, allowing us to schedule weekly publication.
I uploaded the CSV file to create the email list and designed email templates to announce weekly releases, as well as an automation for new subscribers.
I even took a stab at recreating the book cover to be more in line with their inspiration sites.
I added all basic SEO: SEO titles, descriptions, H1s and alt-text. The client can access analytics and review email performance. All in a mobile friendly site that is easy for them to maintain going forward.

Annie Daly
Squarespace (7.0) Re-Design for Travel Writer, Annie Daly. I changed her template to allow for maximum customization, sourced banner images, reorganized all content to improve the user experience. I added press and publications and maintain updates on an ongoing basis as new items and books are added.
Tova Friedman Survivor
New WordPress Design project for child survivor of the Holocaust, Tova Friedman. Site includes press, video and link to purchase from Amazon as well as an event calendar for book readings and TV appearances. I provided client training so they are able to manage ongoing press and calendar items on their own.
