Hi, I’m Jodi tychkowsky, website designer
I’m a bit of an old soul at heart
I enjoy my wood burning fireplace in the winter and my 1984 Dodge Caravan for camping in the summer. I’m a big fan of timeless and modern design in my personal life and in my work. A potential client asked me the other day if I keep up with the latest trends. My immediate reply was yes - I sure do and I won’t be using any of them for your website. Well not entirely, but I design with your target audience in mind. And if you are home renovation company, no I will not be using Y2K retro design to attract stay-at-home Moms who will be calling you!
With over 20 years of experience making websites, doing graphic design and marketing, you can be sure that my skills will match your needs and help your site shine above the rest. I first learned to hand-code websites in 1999! And I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alberta where I took both art and design classes for my degree.
In the first half of my career, I worked for agencies, marketing companies, the University of Alberta and private companies such as the Edmonton Petroleum Club. I gained a lot of experience from my various roles while still freelancing along the way.
I work from a home office in Sherwood Park, Alberta and occasionally my favourite local coffee shops. Working from home allows me to squeeze in a few extra hours with my elementary school-aged son.
Sprint Websites is located in Sherwood Park, Alberta, although I have clients in other parts of Canada and the United States.
These days most of our contact is by phone, email and video calls. Do note that if you are in Sherwood Park and would like an in-person meeting, I’m always up for a coffee at a local shop.
The Sprint Websites origin story
Sprint Websites came up as a solution for clients who needed an essential website rather than a brand overhaul. I chose the name Sprint because I work quickly and websites don’t have to take months to make.
Over the years, I have been able to streamline my process to create faster timelines. Instead of the gruelling weeks of back and forth, presenting wireframes, designs and revising content, with a few less steps, I aim to get your website done in as quick as 2 weeks depending on my schedule.
With my Sprint Websites process, I lean into you trusting my design style ( by checking out my work in advance), and knowing that I have the technical skills to pull the pieces together.
I love helping people get their ideas off the ground and unburdening them from the task of getting their website up.
WHY I’M A WEBSITE DESIGNER
I Like to Create. I Like to Help.
Technology can be overwhelming, as a web designer, I’m happy to take away the pain for clients figuring how to get a website launched. I’m good at answering questions, simplifying and explaining things, so you feel like you know what’s going on. I love designing, creating and making. I like making websites in particular, because they are malleable medium. Life and your business is always in flux, its good to have something you can change as you grow. I work in Squarespace for this reason, I’ll make you a great looking website and you or I can easily make changes down the road. Whether it’s matching your current branding or creating pieces that help your brand come into fruition, working with me is a sure way to get the job done right. I love the feeling of pressing “publish” and launching another site on the Internet!
