Robyn Harper is Right Hand Design. That's me below. I like to create custom websites for small businesses who want to project a professional image to their online clients.

A good website design needs a whole lot more than pretty pictures. It needs structure, logic and well-written content.
My aim is to build you a website that not only looks professional but truly contributes to your business success.

• 5Stitches Website Redesign

  Type:

  Shopify store

  Year:

  2016

  URL:

  5stitches.com

  5Stitches produce unique hand-stitched greeting cards. When Genevive began creating wedding stationery and other personalised custom cards, she needed the Shopify site to match the style of these high-end items. (Unfortunately I can't take credit for the beautiful photos or the stunning designs of the cards themselves.)
  
  This was my first time working with Shopify and I quite like the flexibility provided by its interface. Now I've worked with both Shopify and BigCommerce I understand the different strengths and benefits of each, to help point you in the right direction for your next eCommerce site.

  Responsive Wordpress

  Year:

  2016

  The Sally Foundation is a private philanthropic organisation in Australia. They support community causes in both regional Australia and Zimbabwe, Africa, providing me with a challenge on how to structure the site to suit both areas of interest.

  The Physio @ Neutral Bay website is a small site to help people find a great local phsyiotherapist easily, and be able to make an appointment, whether they are using a desktop device or a mobile one. As Jenny so succinctly described her target market: "If they're in pain, all they want is relief. Quickly."
  
  Jenny is a very experienced physio who divides her time between the Sydney lower North Shore and remote outback towns, spending 2 days per week travelling with the Royal Flying Doctor Service out of Bourke. I can personally vouch for her pain-relieving hands.

  BigCommerce

  Year:

  2015

  URL:

  pizzazzjewellery.com.au

  The Pizzazz Jewellery website was a redesign of a 'failed' ecommerce site that had been built on an unmanageable DIY platform. Once we worked out that the cost of a BigCommerce site was commensurate with the old one and its addons, business owner Perin was happy to make the move.
  
  Pizzazz Jewellery sells gorgeous wholesale fashion jewellery that is sourced from overseas. Her new BigCommerce site is set to only show prices and enable orders for approved wholesale buyers. It integrates with Mailchimp to keep clients updated on the latest fashions and sale events.

• Moon Electrical Web Design

  Type:

  Fluid HTML & CSS

  Year:

  2014

  URL:

  moonelectrical.com.au

  The Moon Electrical website was a simple brochure site to showcase some of Nick Mooney's beautiful lighting installations. For a busy tradesman, I actually talked him out of using a Content Management System, as he has enough on his plate without having to work out how to update his website as well.
  
  Nick is an in-demand electrician around Sydney for his attention to detail and careful approach to installing delicate and modern light fittings, even in tricky locations. I'll be adding more photos of his work - when he gets time to send them through!

  Pacha is a prized yacht. Her Sydney owner was looking for an informative website that showcased the beauty and history of this stunning vessel, which was up for sale at the time.
