Keep it simple, this is my mantra in life & in design . I am a creative thinker, I design websites, brand identities code in html and css. I also make a great lasagne.
about
My name is Celeste du Preez, I love designing beautiful things that work brilliantly.
I have over 10 years interactive design experience. Oh yes, I remember the browser wars like it was yesterday.(I know, I look really good for my age)
You could descibe me as a creative thinker, I design websites & brand identities, (although these days they are arguably one and the same thing.)
We live in an age of information overload and I believe that every element of your branding needs to serve a purpose, it needs to clearly communicate your message.
I am passionate about usability. “Don't make me think” by Steve Krug is my bible.
I specialise in creating brands and websites for small businesses, but I have worked
for some of the big agencies too.
All the websites I build are accessible and adhere to strict W3C standards.
This just means is that you are buying a real Prada purse instead of a fake one.
