About
“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”
—Theodore Isaac Rubin
Elyssa Conley
I am a collaborative and creative web designer and content creator. I help to visually communicate brand stories in a human-centered framework with thoughtful attention to the user experience. Design works best when it is visually pleasing and accessible to all.
Additionally, my research and SEO skills ensure the content is based on strategy, has a targeted audience, and is searchable.
A lifelong learner and constantly evolving, I excel at setting up and managing different web pages with multiple forms of content. I’m skilled in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign, HTML, CSS, responsive websites, Shopify, WordPress, Wix, and other CMSs. I have experience with Google Search Console, Analytics, and Ads to help businesses increase their bottom line. I embrace learning new systems and software, which happens to come quickly to me.
