About Apple Pie

Apple Pie Web Design was started up out of a love for creating websites and a need to strike out on my own. I like to combine my knowledge of graphic design with web development skills to create beautiful, accessible websites.

I run my business from home and my service is specifically aimed at other small businesses and freelancers. I believe that small businesses can benefit from supporting each other and so help each other to grow and prosper.

I can help your business reach a wider market by giving you a professional online presence. I put a lot of time and effort in getting every detail right, so you can have the best quality service available.

All my designs are handcoded (HTML and CSS). I don't use templates because I take pride in my work. I prefer the personal approach and you can call me as many times as you like with any questions, during and after the website building process.

Accessible Websites

To improve accessibility on the Web, I build my sites according to Best Practice with standard compliant code. This has the advantage that your web pages will continue to be shown properly by future browsers.

But just as important, it makes your website easier to access by people with disabilities. This also means that your site is easier to use in general, so you can reach more potential customers or clients.

What My Clients Say

Testimonial by Mareen Doran, Tara House:

“ Since Conny designed my website I have had quite a few inquiries, most of which converted to bookings. The site is compact yet tells a prospective guest everything they need to know about the house and the area. I especially like the photo gallery.”

Testimonial by Alan Dee, singer-songwriter:

“ Working with Apple Pie has been a very positive experience. I can always pick up the phone and Conny will understand my requirements and translate them into a great result. My first site by Apple Pie looked beautiful and much care was taken down to the smallest detail, so now that I am ready for a re-design with the launch of my new album, I choose Apple Pie again.”

Brief Biography

Originally from Belgium, I moved to Ireland in 2006 to live with my Irish partner. The move proved to be the ideal time to shake up my professional life and get more creative.

Web design quickly became a passion as I could easily draw inspiration from my background in graphic design. My web design skills are completely self-taught with the help of some of the best people in the business:

Patrick Griffiths, David Sawyer McFarland, Jeremy Keith, Jason Beaird, Steve Krug, Shelley Powers and Zoe Mickley Gillenwater to name but a few.

This learning never stops and it is a vital part of the web design business. Things move very fast these days and I am committed to keep up with the latest techniques and developments.
