Moo Web Design: Edinburgh Website Design Specialists
Andrea McDermott
LOGO AND WEB DESIGNER, CLIENT MANAGER
Early beginnings in design
It was one of the lecturers on my art foundation course who spotted my potential and suggested I go into graphic design. My natural flair for design blossomed. I graduated in Graphic Design in 1994 and began an eight-year career in magazine design in London.
From magazine design in London to web design in Edinburgh
Magazine design is a fast-paced, pressured environment. As well as being skilled in design, you need resilience and good team-working skills to succeed. Working as a magazine designer for the likes of BBC Worldwide, the Daily Telegraph and DK Books, I developed the strong layout skills that have served me well when creating websites for Edinburgh businesses.
Edinburgh website design
Moving to Edinburgh in 2004 proved to be the perfect time to diversify and extend my design skills.
First, I learnt coding to give me the tools I needed to create websites. I’ll not say this wasn’t tough – but the results were worth it! Although life is much easier now with WordPress, understanding how websites work and what’s going on behind the pages I design I learnt is vital.
Equipped with this new knowledge, I launched myself into developing branding and websites for small and medium-sized businesses. These days, I offer a comprehensive website service:
- Sourcing images and helping clients create effective copy
- Creating custom designs to fit clients’ businesses
- Making sure each webpage appeals to readers and search engines alike
Over the years, I’ve worked on such diverse projects, from floristry to finance, that, whatever your business, I’m confident I can deliver what you need.
What I love about my work – and about my clients!
Edinburgh and the Lothians is a thriving area for business and I’m proud to be part of it. Whether I’m designing for an ambitious start-up or an established business looking for a re-design, I get hugely excited about bringing my clients’ ideas to life.
Knowing you’ve helped turn someone’s business vision into a reality is deeply rewarding. And it’s the best feeling in the world when a client tells you they love the website or logo you’ve designed for them!
I gravitate towards enthusiastic, energetic people, enjoying their company and developing friendly working relationships with them. I like to feel part of their team. Many clients have become good friends.
