Choice Handy Services
Concept
Create a simple website to showcase the owner's skills and highlight his most frequently requested tasks.
Research
The client had a good idea what jobs were most popular among his customers so we went through a card sorting exercise to determine the major sections and names for the site's information architecture. I created a basic wireframe of the home page to get us started on design.
Development
Rather than start from scratch, I researched templates and based the site on the blue collar handyman template external link from Envato.
I set up domain registration and webhosting for the client.
Deliverables

Beyond the website, I designed the business logo and business cards; created a promo video for YouTube; and set up Instagram external link to show off his work.
