Smack Happy Design

Graphic and Web Design

I began designing websites in 1998, back when websites were just starting to become “a thing.” Because I started so long ago, I learned how to build a website from the ground up. I bring that know-how to every site I build. I design in Photoshop; I hand-code in HTML, CSS, and PHP; and I provide a full website from start to finish, helping my clients through the entire process. I truly enjoy my job because it combines creativity, logic, and problem-solving. In college, I majored in illustration, and when I was growing up, I excelled in math and science. I think web design is the perfect combination of those two subjects.

I started Smack Happy Design in 2008 because I really enjoy working on a variety of projects, and Smack Happy lets me help people and companies with their challenges. I’ve created solutions for lawyers, caterers, hair stylists, schools, artists, and many other business types. Read more

    Well, first of all, I found Smack Happy on Yelp. Which is important to me to see the other customer reviews.

    ... All in all, your polished image as a company and all the time that Nicole spends engaging really gives them guys an active, eager, and willing attitude and the work speaks for itself. Smack Happy Designs rocked for us and I would recommend you guys in a second.

    Thank you for everything!!!

    We're thrilled with the work Nicole and Smack Happy does for our firm. Our website constantly needs updates. Before we worked with her, on a semi regular basis, qualified leads wouldn't make it to our Inbox, meaning the loss of $10,000s worth of business.

    Her team and her then redesigned our site. Cost effective, very professional, tasteful design esthetic, and surprisingly quick turnaround. We highly recommend them.

    've been working with Smack Happy Design for almost 4 years. During this time Nicole's done an outstanding job for us - from web design and hosting, to refining our logo and putting together other graphics and branded material....Nicole gets the job done right for us. ... She's forthcoming with ideas and suggestions. Internally, we talk of Nicole as if she's a part of our team! I'd heartily recommend Nicole and Smack Happy Design.

    I started working with Nicole after a client of mine wanted to take her website to the next level. She worked within our budget and created a proposal based on our needs at the moment with an option to scale, offers knowledgable advice on SEO, design, and technology, and is very responsive to all emails, questions, and concerns. I highly recommend her for any local San Francisco business!

    I hired Nicole when my original designer disappeared off the face of this earth and left me with a blog that was partially finished. Nicole and her team picked up the slack and finished in record time. They are Wordpress ninjas and know the best widgets to use. What impressed me most about Nicole was the care she took in understanding the goals of my blog. She recommended some creative marketing and revenue generating ideas I never considered before. As an added plus, she now hosts my blog, so she is truly a one stop shop for all your Wordpress needs.
