Skylight Designs provides web design & development services in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We work with content management systems like Forestry.io, WordPress and Craft CMS.
Hugo is the fastest static site generator in the world. Coupled together with Forestry.io, this content management system provides an elegant way to manage the contents of your website without the need to edit code! Moreover, with the Netlify platform, hosting is free!
WordPress is the leading content management system in the world that powers up 33% of all websites created on the web. WordPress is highly supported and has a vast community to back it up. We can design and develop a custom coded WordPress website for you.
Craft is the most flexible and powerful content management system in the world. It offers excellent SEO and allows you to create truly unique designs and experiences for the web. Released by Pixel and Tonic in 2013, Craft is gaining popularity, and is recognized for its incredible ease of use.
We can develop a unique web-based experience using immersive technology with WebGL, 3D renderings, and scrolling animation. Create a truly unique experience for your website viewers and experience the power of the immersive web, coupled together with Craft CMS.
Every project will have a slightly different workflow; whether it be a web based project, a printed piece, or a video. However all projects follow a similar workflow as outlined below.
This is where we sit down and discuss the project together. We go over the project brief, and establish the scope of the work. Then, once the written agreement and contract has been prepared and signed, we begin the project.
The first stage of most projects is to plan and build a prototype or wireframe. This is where we create a blueprint of what we plan on building, and focus on user experience, layout, font size, visual hierarchy, and then pay attention to how the information is structured and presented. This is to ensure that what we are creating is clear to the person using our product.
The first draft is the first take on the project. We get an initial product out there, and discuss it thoroughly. We make notes on the changes that need to be implemented, and work towards creating a final product.
This is where we create a final product for the end user. This is what the audience gets to see. Once the final product has been approved, the project is considered finished. This is where I offer additional support, however this does not change the original project scope.
Working on complex challenges and then finding simple yet effective solutions is something we really enjoy doing. With a passion for communicating ideas to people visually through different mediums, and an excitement for programming.
You will always receive high quality work from us. Our passion is in the details, and we put great care and attention in what we do.
We build websites that are easy to use, intuitive and simple. Finding the right information on the site will be direct and clear.
While we deliver on quality your wallet doesn’t have to take a toll. We work at a reasonable rate, and price our work fairly.
Our first kickoff meeting for discussions and the write up for the project proposal is free! This way we can more accurately evaluate your goals and needs, work within your budget and create a tailored plan that is right for you.
Absolutely! Skylight Designs is a web design & development business, and I can certainly assist you with creating websites for you. I am able to create Hugo, WordPress and Craft powered websites. Please contact me for more details.
Yes I do create logos and brochures. While print is not the forefront of my business’ focus, I do offer creating designs for printing, and logo designs. If you are in need of a logo, brochure, flyer, poster, or business card, etc, I can certainly create those assets for you.
Yes I do accept credit card payments. You can pay an invoice online via credit card, through the Wave accounting application I use. However I do prefer to meet in person, work with clients locally in Ottawa, and accept either checks, or e-transfers directly.
Some projects I go through will have a written proposal and agreement outlining the scope of the project. On occasion, both signatures; from myself and from the client, will be required before the project begins.
Payment methods that will be accepted are: direct bank deposits, e-transfers, checks, cash, or online credit card payments.
"When we wanted to create our first commercial website for Distinctive Audio, it seemed like a daunting project –we just didn't know what was involved or how to get started. Sebastian was a pleasure to work with; his creative design ideas, combined with his impressive technical skills and attention to detail, resulted in a website that surpassed our expectations in its features, appearance and functionality. He had both the confidence and the know-how to get the results we were looking for."
"His valuable knowledge of the latest programs used to develop this type of marketing tool was impressive and he consistently presented innovative ways to convey various ideas. Sebastian understands the importance of how images are used to convey an idea and presented a final product that exceeded my expectations."
"Sebastian did great work on a music video. He is a creative videographer that used creative videography elements in his work that was appreciated in the finished product."
