that work across all devices

Robin Brooks's websites have clear and simple organization and navigation. They are created with search engine optimization in mind. Her more recent sites work across all devices.
To explore, click on a site from the sampling below. If you like what you see, let's set up a phone meeting. With your input, Robin will create a site that speaks clearly for who you are and what you do. If you like, she can also train you to maintain your site. |
"It's not often a website spurs me to write an email of admiration to its designer but yours has! It's visually a joy, and clear and easy to navigate. What a pleasure to happen upon in the midst of a lot of badly designed, jarring sites. Thank you." — Martine Chérau, France
(2007, about the Katywil site below.) |
My twin brother is a marketing guy and for years published a commercial/trade newsletter. He looked at the beautiful website that you designed and was blown away.... He loved it and thought it was right in keeping with the book and that we would get an excellent response. ~ Cliff Hakim

Author Cliff Hakim (author of the business bestseller, We Are All Self-Employed) has a new book, Walk in My Shoes: The Path to Empathy and Compassion. In his roles as teacher, writer, counselor and executive coach, and artisan / entrepreneur, he has helped people navigate life transitions, pursue new visions, and achieve meaningful goals.
More recently he started drawing shoes in pen and ink. These soulful images, a raft of societal problems, plus his personal call to action inspired him to create this book about empathy and compassion. He encourages all of us to open our eyes to the lives and views of others as we learn to walk in their shoes. Purchase Print Book (for quantity discounts). Purchase eBook. |

What a lovely collaboration: designer and teacher, and the real pleasure of giving a client the freedom to express. (Home page image shown here is where we began.)
Robin and Susannah Crolius of Art and Soul went back and forth to recreate an old website, making it functional and yet also reflective of Susannah's artistic sensibilities. Susannah played with it. Robin fine-tuned. Now Susannah does as she originally intended. She flies completely on her own. |
This is Robin's website for her The Beauty of Books book design business. (A writer said: "Robin's website is lovely. You should just go there to rest a while! Oh, what a relief."

This site for Robin's graphic design portfolio includes a smattering of the work she has created in over 40 years..

Robin's twin sister wanted two sites with a similar feel to them. One is for the spiritual and also now fantasy books Leslie writes, Love Incarnate Books.
The other is for her spiritual healing practice, Portals of the Soul. |
Robin designed Paul Rezendes' site a few years back. It is currently maintained in-house. It may load a bit slowly because of the hi-res photographer slideshow. This is slow on purpose as the client wished for viewers to be able to truly spend time with his images.

This is a website Robin designed back in 2007 for Katywil Ecovillage. Katywil has since desolved so the site is no longer live. If you click here, you can see various still pages. (This is the site that received the stunning testimonial at the top of the page.
