Scott O.

Senior Developer Designer Using Webflow WordPress Figma

✅I'm Scott Ostrander, founder of H1 Creative Studio, based in the Chicago, Illinois suburbs. I help small service businesses strengthen their online presence with modern, conversion-focused WordPress and Webflow websites. ✅Most small business sites look fine but don't actually do anything. They don't guide visitors toward a call, a quote request, or a booking. I build sites that fix that: clean, professional designs backed by a clear process, engineered to turn visitors into leads. ✅I've spent 10 years designing and building websites for small businesses. Before web work, I spent nearly a decade as a private music teacher, which shaped how I approach client projects: patience, clear communication, and a focus on helping people understand what's happening and why, not just handing over a finished product. ✅I work solo by design. When you hire me, you work directly with me from the first conversation through launch. No account managers, no outsourced development, no handoffs between departments. /// What Sets Me Apart /// ⭐Designer-developer hybrid. One person handling strategy, design, and development, so nothing gets lost between teams. ⭐Conversion-focused design. Every layout is built with a purpose: to move visitors toward action. ⭐WordPress and Webflow expertise. I work in the platform that fits your needs, not just the one I default to. I also have experience with Shopify, Wix Studio, and Squarespace, and take on projects with those platforms on a more limited basis. ⭐Solo craftsmanship. You work directly with me from start to finish. No outsourcing, no handoffs, no runaround. ⭐SEO and analytics built in. Clean structure, proper metadata, and tracking set up from day one, not bolted on later. ⭐Clean, modern aesthetic. Professional and trustworthy design that reflects well on your business. /// Primary Services /// ✅ Full website design (Figma) and build (WordPress) - Custom-designed, fully built WordPress sites (recommend Elementor or Divi) ✅Full website design (Figma) and build (Webflow) - Custom-designed, fully built Webflow sites ✅ Landing page design and development - High-converting, single-purpose pages built for campaigns, product launches, or lead generation, in WordPress or Webflow. ✅Website updates and maintenance ✅WordPress to Webflow conversions and vice versa ✅Standalone designs using Figma /// My Process (H1 Conversion Framework): /// 1. Discovery and clarity - I start by understanding your goals, audience, and messaging before any design work begins. 2. Conversion-focused UX - Layouts are planned around the actions you want visitors to take. 3. Custom design - A clean, modern, minimal aesthetic tailored to your brand. 4. WordPress or Webflow build - Fast, reliable, and built to scale with your business. 5. On-page SEO - Structure and metadata optimized from the ground up. 6. Analytics setup - GA4 and key event tracking so you can see what's working. 7. Launch and optimization - Once live, I refine based on real user behavior, not guesswork. If you're a small service business ready for a website that looks professional and actually works for you, let's talk about your project.
