Designs that work, not just designs that impress.

Designs That Nailed It is a running collection of websites and digital experiences that do their job well. The point is not to chase visual perfection or spotlight award-winning showpieces. It’s to study the choices that make something cleaner, more trustworthy, easier to use, and more effective for the business behind it.

Let's Be Nice!

I'm critiquing work of others, and I don't ever want to say anything mean. If I hate a design, it won't make it here. The only criticisms I give are tips where I see room for improvement.

Work With Alex

Need a sharper site, clearer direction, or both?

I help businesses improve websites and digital experiences through strategy, structure, messaging, SEO insight, and technical execution. The same lens I use to study strong design on DTNI (clarity over decoration, hierarchy over noise, and decisions tied to outcomes) is the lens I bring to client work.
