This fast growing political party had a website that didn't meet their needs. I volunteered to create a new site and used Gerry McGovern's Top Task Management and Customer Care Words methods as a requirements analysis guide. The initial site went live in the summer of 2016 and has since gotten a nice visual redesign by Andri Sig at Vefstofan. -

About
I’ve been making websites since the turn of the century and have worn many hats during this time.
Asking questions, learning and solving problems are at my core, which relate directly to user data, usability and beautiful design being very important in my work.
I am currently employed at Reykjavík University as web manager for their English and Icelandic external web pages.
When not working on webstuffs, I spend time with my family, geek out on tech stuffs, make things, plan and organise. I also like to paint, read, dance and so much more. Life is fun.
