Website for Stress & Anxiety Services of New Jersey
Company:
Stress & Anxiety Services of New Jersey is an independent psychotherapy practice based in New Jersey.
What the client wanted:
I've been working with this client since 2021. When they first hired me, the goal was to migrate their old WordPress website to a more modern and sleek design on Squarespace. At that time, they had very specific instructions for how they wanted the site to look, so I had little creative control over the design. The initial layout and visual decisions were directed almost entirely by the client, and my role was to execute their vision and handle the full project migration.
In August 2023, the client returned with a request to redesign several key pages: Homepage, About Us, New Clients, On-Demand CE Offerings, Outreach, and Contact Us. This time, the project was different. I was given almost full creative control over the design, with only a few constraints such as the image used in the hero section of the homepage. The updated version reflects a much more thoughtful and cohesive design, which you can see in the before-and-after screenshots included below.
Client Feedback:
“It is a pleasure to give Alan our highest recommendation. We are a small psychology practice, and Alan built us a new, beautiful website from scratch. We cannot imagine having completed our project with a more responsive, hardworking, and talented designer.
With regards to responsivity, Alan was in close contact throughout the process. He was organized, efficient, and helpful with each step. We felt comfortable that the project was in good hands at all times. We were also consistently impressed by his fast replies and quick turnarounds for our requests, both large and small.
Alan's talent is also unmatched! We had VERY particular ideas for what we wanted for our site, and he made each of them a reality. What's even more impressive is how he was able to translate our vague, non-technical ideas into something that looks both functional and eye-catching.
Alan is not only an expert at what he does, but also a skillful teacher. I wanted to make sure I understood Squarespace and how our website works, and Alan sent me multiple custom video tutorials that walked me step-by-step through what to do. He has been exceedingly generous with his time.
Given what a pleasure it was working with Alan, we plan to continue working with him on a consulting basis. This was an incredibly important project for our team, and it now feels like Alan is an honorary member of that team :) Moreover, he has given us the confidence to hire/work with other professionals virtually again in the future, which we were nervous about from the start.
We would be happy to provide a reference if any potential clients have any specific questions about our experience.”
