Amazing Mindset
A brand new website for mentor and author Ged Roberts and his new company.
Project
Introduction
Ged is a musician, author and mindset mentor, who asked me to create a custom, responsive and user-friendly website where he could share blog posts on mindfulness and promote his books and mentoring services. As his content is entirely text focused, I needed to come up with a design that clearly displays his writings while keeping it engaging and clean.
Project
Design
After doing my initial research into text heavy, ‘self-help’ style websites, I started putting a design together. I researched the best ways to keep long form text engaging and interesting to readers, as opposed to just appearing like a wall of text. No matter how insightful the content actually is, in order to attract new readers, the formatting has to be set out in a way that allows for easy skimming and makes people want to read on.
Initial Designs
For this project, I was only provided with the logo, and from there I built out a colour palette, selected fonts and began working on a design.
A common occurrence in this niche that I wanted to avoid, was that some sites felt far too busy and almost like they had too much content. This is normally due to lack of organisation, therefore I put a lot of focus on how best I could keep Ged’s writings well organised, and so users could simply access what they are looking for in as few clicks as possible.

Result
This project finished ahead of schedule, and I am very pleased with the outcome. Immediately the website received complements and user activity, which hopefully will only grow thanks to the content strategy that I helped Ged put together. He is now working on a weekly blog, which will boost SEO and provide continued value to readers who will hopefully return to his site on a regular basis.
