My name is Dieter Fourie, a Wellington-based freelance web designer. I design & build usable websites that are clean and customer-focused. I utilise valid XHTML & CSS while keeping W3C web standards in mind. With additional experience in print design & brand identity, I have the tools to offer a complete branding package. I have worked with an array of businesses, individuals & start-ups and offer all the benefits of a design studio without the huge price.

Gareth Morgan Investments approached me to re-design their current site and to create a single portal page that provides links to all their various businesses offerings while keeping the user interface and site navigation as simple as possible. Each business section will have a public area and a secure member/client area. My goal was to keep the design and navigation clean and simple and I think it work out pretty well.
