Barbi Larkins
Graphic Designer
Web Design and CRM Integration Specialist | Christchurch
You work hard on your business. Shouldn't your website work just as hard?
I'm Barbi Larkins, and I own Be Design. One of the things that I most love about web and graphic design is that it uses so much of the brain. There is an artistic side and an analytical side. Not many designers are good at both.
I am an artist at heart and a business manager by experience. The balance of head and heart allows me to create websites and graphics that are not just pretty to look at, but effective, user-friendly and efficient. My passion is designing websites that work harder through integration of CRM and automation to help you build, interact with and follow up on your client list.
This is what you get when you hire me:
- You're the boss
I know design, but you’re the one who knows your business. I partner with my clients, incorporating their ideas and feedback to create designs that perfectly reflect their branding and their business objectives. - Personalised care
Because your business is important to you, it is also important to me. I am always available to answer your questions, and am always on call for emergency situations. Training is provided to you and your team to do basic updates. - Responsive web design
All of my websites are optimised to get the best results on all screen sizes. - On-site SEO
What good is a website if no one can find you? Your package will include basic SEO like alt tags, keywords and integrations with Google Search Console and Google My Business. - Usability and accessibility
Designs are created with the user in mind to ensure websites and graphics that are easy to navigate and read. - Expertise
I am a Master at WordPress, but my skills include Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, social media graphics, layouts, illustration, video editing and more.
"Barbi is amazing. Very helpful at creating exactly what we wanted and always ready to help fix any issues. Nothing is ever a problem. Great at keeping us updated too." Kirsten W., Canterbury Business Association
