My Journey

My career began 15 years ago as a UI/UX designer, driven by a passion for creativity and beauty. For me, design is more than a job—it’s a way of life, an ever-exciting, fantastic world.

I believe in thinking outside the box and continuously renewing my knowledge. This mindset has guided me in helping people fall in love with brands and assisting agencies in winning new business.

Halo Lab

Another passion I discovered is mentoring young designers at Halo Lab, where I help them become true professionals. Sharing my knowledge not only helps others but also fuels my own learning journey.

“How much does it cost to design a website?”

Classic answer: “It depends.”

But that’s not helpful, especially when you’re trying to plan budgets and justify ROI to your board or investors.

So let’s break it down.

1. Landing page.
$1000–$5,000
A single conversion-focused page - ideal for campaigns or product launches.
Quick, simple, measurable. But every word and visual must work perfectly together.

2. Small business website.
$5,000 – $15,000
Usually 4–6 pages (Home, Services, About, Contact, maybe a Blog).
You get custom branding, a consistent UI, and a trustworthy structure that helps people understand and act.

3. eCommerce website.
$25,000 – $100,000
Product pages, filters, checkout flow, mobile optimization.
At this range, you’re investing in UX that prevents drop-offs and builds trust.

4. SaaS website.
$75,000 – $300,000
A good SaaS site tells your story, guides visitors to demos, and aligns with your product UI.

5. Enterprise website.
$20,000–$100,000+
Think of this as a digital ecosystem - dozens of templates, multilingual layouts, case studies, and complex integrations.

A website isn’t an expense. 
It’s your digital sales team that works 24/7.
And like any high-performer, it needs training, systems, and strategy behind it.

So the next time someone asks, “How much does it cost to design a website?”
The better question is “How much revenue am I losing by not investing in a site that converts?”

Website design cost

Most MVPs are built to present.

Very few are built to produce.

That’s the difference between a demo and a business.

An MVP doesn’t have to be the smallest version of your product.
An MVP is the smallest collection of components required to provide value.

→ What is the one thing a user will need to do repeatedly?
→ What elements do you need to incorporate into your design so that it runs immediately, independent of any human activity?
→ When is the moment that you will take all of the variables and make one conclusion -insight, application, analysis, and improvements?

When you look at it through this lens, the MVP is a live vehicle.
The intended result is:

1. One workflow: the only way users will need to interact with your product.
2. A single loop that will continue to serve you every time you iterate.
3. The least amount of interference to provide that measure.
4. The most convenient manner to interact with it.
5. One measure of success, not an explanation.
6. Nothing else supports those goals.

This sets the stage for how you build early traction.
You don’t do that by shipping less of your product.
You do that by shipping the right product.

Build the smallest collection of components that can generate value for others and is therefore your MVP.
That is the difference between a demo and a business.

The MVP You Actually Need

Most leaders will agree that "good UX matters."

But few can prove it in financial terms.

That’s where growth is slowly leaking.

When design is measurable, it is also scalable.
When it is scaleable, it is a competitive advantage.

This is what the math shows:

✦ Each $1 spent on UX returns between $2 and $100. (Forrester)

✦ A load time faster by 0.1 seconds can boost conversion up to 10%. (Deloitte)

✦ 18% of customers abandon the website because the site is hard to use. Baymard Institute)

✦ Companies with design maturity outperform similar companies by 2x in revenue and shareholder returns. (McKinsey Design Index)

So why measure your UX ROI?
Because if you do not measure it, design becomes "subjective."

When you measure it, you have a lever to influence:

1. Conversion rates and average order value.
2. Operational efficiency and support costs.
3. Customer lifetime value and churn.

Here’s how leading companies do it:

1. Benchmark experience metrics – funnel conversion, time-to-task, support volume.
2. Make UX optimizations – simplify flows, reduce friction, increase clarity.
3. Measure the delta – either revenue, savings or time.
4. Quantify into dollars.

UX isn't about how good your product looks.
It's about how much it earns.
When organizations measure that, UX is no longer subjective.

A few months ago, one of our partners came up with a challenge.

"We’ve raised our Series A, we have product-market fit, but we’re stuck in endless design-dev loops. Can we ship an MVP that investors can demo this quarter, not next?”

We delivered it in 42 days.
Here’s what actually made it possible.

1. 10-day strategy sprint.
We used a pre-built discovery framework with templates for personas, flows, and decisions on technology stacks.
We only focused on the unknowns and skipped documenting the things that the team has already validated.
The result was a 70% faster alignment phase while maintaining context.

2. Parallel design & development.
In traditional teams, design "hands off" to devs, and that is where weeks go to die.
We run parallel pipelines: The dev team starts building the architecture and reusable components in parallel.
We do design QA in a sprint and not at the end.
The result: Reduced the cycle from design → dev delay from 3 weeks to 10 days.

3. Reusable design systems.

4. Senior leads keep hands-on.
Every project has a lead designer, tech lead, and PM who stay involved daily, not just at kickoff.
You speed delivery up by removing the invisible friction between discovery, design, and dev.

At Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner, we build like product teams.

Life is a kind of magic when you really think about it.

Considering the sheer odds that we exist, that we wake up every day, that we get another chance to build, learn, love, and try again — it is extraordinary. 

As the year is starting and work will soon begin to pile up, it is easy to get lost in deadlines, meetings, and dashboards.

A gentle reminder — do not forget to look around.

Your surroundings are full of motivation, inspiration, humor, and curiosity if you choose to notice them. Spend time with people who energize you. Seek ideas that stretch you. And just as importantly, 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐩𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 — new skills, new perspectives, new habits.

I am doing the same.

This weekend I will share some major industry headlines and my outlook on where the 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐲-𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 2026 — adoption trends, technology shifts, and what it means for ecommerce brands.

If you have not yet subscribed to my newsletter, keep an eye out — it is coming soon.

Here is to a year of growth, wonder, and staying inspired.
