“We hired David Tierney for his design brilliance. He came through with that and so much more. He proved to be very gifted at holding the big picture of what we wanted out of our new website, and had the ability to attend to all of the details that made it function better than we have ever experienced. We have high standards of excellence at LionHeart and David exceeded them with both his creativity and comprehensive insight into how to bring our unique offer to life. All this while acknowledging our competence, disagreeing well when necessary, and being extremely easy to work with. David gets our highest praise and recommendation. He truly knocked our socks off."
- Paul Werder, Founder of LionHeart Consulting, March 2011

beauty in web design
Beauty is inside us, all around us, in small details and landscapes. As with all things beautiful, a beautiful website design opens the heart and engages the senses. Visitors to an aesthetically pleasing website will stay longer, engage themselves more fully, and will leave with a better opinion of your business. Research shows that visual content presentation influences user perceptions of usability, trust, and confidence in the web content they view. View my custom web design portfolio for samples of my work.
function in web design
While aesthetic beauty is expansive and pleasing to the senses, functional website design defines the scope, function and purpose of your website.
Who are you? What are you selling, sharing or otherwise wanting to communicate? What end result are you desiring from your website visitors? How else can a website serve you or your business?
The answers to these questions and the means by which you choose to express, elicit and manifest the answers to these questions should determine and guide the functional design and technical requirements of your website.
Functional web design is about optimally incorporating these answers into your website design with clarity and ease for your interactive audience. The result is a user-friendly website that optimally serves your clients and your business.
