ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Carl Gordon.

I'm a creative developer with 6+ years experience designing and developing websites. In that time I've collaborated with individuals and agencies from New Zealand to New York. I've created websites for local organisations, SaaS products, venture capital firms, Ecommerce stores and exclusive NFT drops!

I moved from Hawke's Bay to Wellington in 2014 to study the Bachelor of Design Innovation with a Major in Media Design at Victoria University. The BDI course gave me exposure to a wide range of design skills from Industrial design, 3D modelling and animation to robotics and creative coding.

It was the discovery of creative coding that hooked me on web development and lit a fire of curiosity under me. I graduated in 2017 and worked in Ecommerce for 4 years where I would design upwards of 60 online stores and lead a design team as the creative manager.

Over the past two years I have been working exclusively with Psychoactive Studios in Wellington, New Zealand - designing and developing Webflow sites for clients around the world.

I am currently open to freelancing opportunities and would love to work on your project if you think I would be a good fit. Please don't hesitate to contact me I'm always ready to chat design and nerd out about all things web.

CARL GORDON MEDIA - SERVICES

The key services I offer are design, development and branding. My goal is to help elevate your business through the use of beautiful design and highly functional web development.

Webflow Development

Work with me to create a beautiful high-performance website that expresses the personality of your brand and helps reach your business goals. I develop exclusively in Webflow because I believe it is the future of the web.

The websites I develop are: fast, beautiful, responsive to all devices and search engine optimised.

Website Design

"The alternative to good design is always bad design. There is no such thing as no design" - Adam Judge.

You can't overlook the importance of good website design. If you're going to build a website it should always begin with a good design.

Work with me to design the most enjoyable web experience for your intended audience and ultimately improve your sales and customer retention.

Website Re-design

Want to bring your website up to the modern web standards? I can help to improve the performance of your site by completely re-designing the user interface and improving the user experience.

A successful web re-design will capture more attention and show a measurable increase to your conversion rate.

Content Strategy

Your content strategy is the planning of exactly what pages your site needs and what specific content to included on each of those for maximum performance. Content consists of text, icons, photos, animation, video and should be both informative and also subtly guide the user to a desired outcome. I will run you through a content strategy session and we can work together to fully plan your site content.

Branding

I can help to revamp the look & feel of your brand by creating your logo and any collateral you may need for advertising.

Branding should be crafted around your target audience and project your core values as a company. What is it you want to tell the world about your brand at a glance? What tone / mood do you want to set for your audience?
I can help you answer these questions.
