I've worked with various clients from large scale organizations with multi-site projects, to small business brand development.
Hello, I'm Julia Herres (pronounced Harris).
I am a freelance Digital Consultant and Developer living in Walla Walla, Washington with my beautiful family (pictured). I have lived in this Valley all my life and love it so much, we never left!
I started dabbling in graphic design when I was about 17; my first job out of high school was designing graphics for an educational software company; and I built my first website in college when I was 20 and realized that's what I wanted to do for a living.
Since 2001, I've been helping businesses and organizations of all sizes bring their presence online and keep up with ever changing technology. Designing, developing, and maintaining 325+ custom websites over my many years of managing a local web development company, as well as other graphic design services including logo design, label design, and more.
I am detail-oriented and driven by a passion to help businesses succeed and connect with their audience in meaningful ways. I look forward to putting my creative and technical expertise in the digital world to work for you.
A digital consultant wears many hats in the virtual business world. Here are just a few that I wear...
I specialize in developing modern, responsive, and mobile-friendly websites in various Content Management Systems (CMS) based on the needs of my client. Search Engine Optimizations (SEO) are also an important part of my development process.
Help your users find what they need faster. Information Architecture (IA) is the overall structure and organization of a website, including the navigation, labeling, and search-ability of its content.
There are so many great 3rd party digital tools out there (Email Marketing & Communications, Payment/Donation Systems, etc.) that can take your website to the next level. Let's talk about how we can integrate those to work for you.
My goal is to create a website that my client can manage themselves with some easy to use tools. I can provide in-person or online training to make sure you are off on the right foot.
If you don't have the time or skills to accomplish something, I'm happy to help!
Sometimes your digital images need just a little help to really "pop." I have many years experience in Adobe's full suite of products (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.) to help customize photos or videos for use on your website.
Need a custom logo or label design for your website or product? Let's talk about how I can help with that too!
