If you happen to be considering hiring me in a web design or development capacity, you'd be well served by reading at least the liabilities section too.
Below you will find several examples of websites that I've done in the past, some in the employ of Tradewind Graphics, Maui and some as a freelancer. You should be able to determine from these examples that I favor a bright palette & that my designs are all 100% totally custom. I don't have a particular methodology or 'way' that I work. I just try to listen to what my clients are telling me and then do what they want, advising them along the way when those desires conflict with general wisdom on relevant issues like SEO (search engine optimization).
So, I won't be offering any play-by-play analysis of what I did on each of these sites...if you're super curious, ask. I don't like companies who try to sound really cool, blowing hot air up your dress about their 'process'...you either build good sites or not. Contact some of these site owners to determine for yourself whether or not that occurred. If you're just dying to know what I thought or think about some of these, I've written about three of them here. There are some cases where I've shown a site "design" that for various reasons never got built. I will NOTE these intances as "design only."

"I had asked a friend to create a website for me to showcase my healing work. He knew me well and had also experienced my work firsthand. I gave him 4 specific parameters. I asked him to use my photo, 4 testimonials, Papyrus font and to use shades of purple. A week later, I was horrified by his amateur vision; it had none of the requested elements and nothing that even remotely suggested my healing work. He was insulted by my response and kept all the money. Nice.
I called Tradewind Graphics and met with Travis. I explained what I wanted and the "feeling" I was trying to convey with the site. He was unfamiliar with the kind of work I do but he LISTENED to me. Very important quality in a web designer!! I checked my email when I got home & was so delighted with what he'd created in those 40 minutes, that I knew I had found the perfect fit for my creative needs. Though his first draft was already 90% there, he continued to become more inspired, creating the most beautiful website I could have imagined. He was kind, thoughtful and respectful to me and my vision. He took what could have been a silly "woo-woo" site and made it professional and successful. I'd work with Travis again. He is a creative genius."

"Travis said he could get my site built in under a week. Frankly, I didn't believe him...it is Maui after all, right? We got back from our tour in California and not only was it PAU, but it was GORGEOUS! He said it took him about 17 hours, which if it hadn't just been 'kokua', would have been $850, a bargain in my book. Don't be afraid to give him the reigns if you're on a tight budget, it's tough to let go of the creative control, but his instincts were dead on for what we wanted!"

"Travis was my roommate during the time I was studying for my USCG Captian's license and building toward the reality of Wake Maui, LLC. One might expect that when a friend offers to help out, they might cut corners or put in less than 100%. None of you will be this lucky, but Travis charged me under a grand for my logo, print materials and my website, and I get compliments on the site regularly. Run, don't walk to hire Travis...you won't be sorry"

"Travis convinced his supervisors at Tradewind and myself that he could, if left to his own instincts, build us a site in under one work day, thereby meeting our very limited budget. I was a bit nervous, giving up all creative control...but just look at the result, all for just $750 -- I'd hire Travis anytime, anywhere"

"We are extremely pleased with the redesign of our website that Travis performed when he was with Tradewind Graphics. The overall appearance, creative incorporation of the content we provided, and ease of navigation through the site make it work very well for us. We get great reviews from our customers about our website."
