Helo,
Dia duit.

My name is Marlon. I'm a freelance Brand Strategist and web Designer running Gwerin Creative, meaning “Creative Folk” in Welsh.

As a Welshy, I was ignited by a passion to support local. So, my aim is to bring enterprise level expertise in design & strategy to the little guys.

Whether you're unsure where to start when setting up, have an established business within your community or in desperate need of some advice on how to create & maintain a successful online identity, I'll be your partner in crime.

STORYBOARD: Storyboard workshop

How did your business, organisation or project get to where it is today? What made you set foot down this journey? What sets you apart from others? We'll work together to find the answers to these questions and more, to form a cohesive narrative, laying the foundations to your brand.

CREATE: Ideation & brand guideline sheet

Taking all the knowledge from the Discover and Storyboard stages, it’s time for me to get my head down and start sketching. Mid way through this stage, you’ll get to pick between 2 initial brand ideas. Once feedback is received, the final brand is unveiled, alongside your logo suite, typography, colour palette and brand assets neatly wrapped in a simple brand guideline sheet, explaining how each component should be used.

1 Hour Introduction

Let’s get to know each other! Discuss your wildest dreams, your pain points or just to simply introduce yourself over a cuppa.

Site Analysis

If required, an assessment of how your current site is performing will be complete. We’ll go through your pain points, your site's statistics, what they all mean and what functionality is needed to help you succeed.

Set Up

If you require a site built from the ground up, you’ll need to purchase a domain (for our techno-phobes, an example would be www.gwerincreative.com which is my domain) and a site plan from WebFlow. Don’t worry, most of this stage is handled by me, and you’ll be guided through the entire process.

Draft

Before designing the site, a demo site will be written and drafted following on from your Site Analysis discussion, ready to showcase and test for approval before I go ahead and build it in Webflow.

Design

Once the demo site has been approved, the design elements and content will be transferred and built in Webflow, an industry leading site builder. I’ll make sure your site is optimised for AI, runs at peak performance and works in harmony with your business or project goals. Whether it’s an online booking system or an e-commerce site selling your products, I’ll make sure it works for you.

Launch

This is the exciting part, when you get to show off your website to the world. To support this stage, I’ll perform weekly check-ins, analysing how your site is performing, fixing any issues that may arise post-launch and providing advice on how to grow your traffic organically.

Continued Support

You’ll receive support throughout your website project. But if you require continuous support after project completion, this can be incorporated.
