Working with this team has been such a positive experience. They helped me create a website that truly reflects both my business and the values behind it, while also making it more accessible, organized, and understandable for the people visiting it. Throughout the process, they were collaborative, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful in their approach.

Beyond the final website itself, the experience also supported my own professional and creative growth as I learned how to better communicate and represent my work. I’m so proud of how the website turned out and deeply appreciate the care and expertise they brought to the process.

The Visually Speaking website uses the power and flexibility of the WordPress block editor.

Custom blocks and patterns were developed as needed. Most functionality on the website comes from core WordPress and WooCommerce features.

The mobile experience on the visually speaking website

Melissa is one of the best developers I’ve ever worked with. We’ve collaborated on a few sites and I’d work with her again anytime! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and hard-working. She’s great at explaining complex concepts in terms anyone can understand, and she’s so detail-oriented – she thinks of everything. I love collaborating with her because she’s always considering ways we can improve things like SEO, ease of use for the client, our own process, etc. I learn a ton while working with her. Plus she does a beautiful job of bringing my designs to life!

The Visually Speaking website is bright, colourful, and accessible. The amazing brand guide and illustrations from Studio Function set us up for success with the website.

This is a valuable resource for the client and their team.
