ABOUT US

SINCE 2015

Since 2015, Nehemiah 9 Design has been partnering with small to mid-sized business owners to help them develop and grow their businesses. We specialize in designing beautiful, functional, user-friendly, and accessible websites. Depending on your budget and needs, we can work with you within preexisting frameworks or make completely customized work.

Nehemiah is a designer who manages the projects, solves problems, and brings creative ideas to life conceptually and visually, step-by-step with research, interviews, brainstorming, sketching, wireframes, mockups, testing, and final products.

Jean is a developer who helps to make these websites come to life with her expertise in coding with experience in multiple languages and frameworks. She also is very experienced with web hosting setup and solving the technical issues that invariably crop up.

We also offer consulting about all things web related including choosing website platforms, site security, domain names and more.

WHO WE ARE

Together since 2005, Jean and Nehemiah have been working together building websites professionally since 2015.

Nehemiah Harmsen

Co-Owner and UX Designer

I am a user experience designer focused on WordPress web design for small to medium-sized businesses. I have a strong fine art background and also have experience with different areas of design including logo and print design. I also have experience in animation, audio production, and video editing. My goal has always been to try to have as many tools in my design toolbox so that I am able to provide exactly what is needed to complete the final project, matching it as closely to the creative vision. And, with more than 10 years of experience as an educator I always do my best to work with our clients exactly where they are at, sharing my expertise with patience and understanding.
