Services

Website design and development, matched to how you work.

I plan and build new websites and thoughtful rebuilds. The work can include content structure, page planning, visual design, responsive development, forms, testing, launch, and connections to the services your business already uses.

How your content stays current

The website should fit the way updates actually happen. There are two practical approaches.

Managed for you

Best for businesses with occasional updates that prefer to have the website maintained for them. I handle approved content changes, technical updates, and improvements without adding an editing system your team does not need.

Editable by your team

Best for organizations that regularly publish news, events, resources, or other changing content. I build clear editing tools and repeatable structures so your team can update the site while the design stays consistent.

Ongoing care

A website still needs attention after launch. Ongoing support can cover maintenance, content updates, troubleshooting, and focused improvements based on the needs of the site.

You do not need to choose an approach before contacting me. We can decide who should manage the content and what level of editing control makes sense during planning.

About

Design shaped by real operating experience.

I’m Yonghao Yan, a designer and front-end developer in Honolulu with a BFA in graphic design from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. My background spans professional web production, running a small business with my wife, and working as a trained Cantonese and Mandarin medical interpreter. Those roles keep my web work grounded in clear communication and day-to-day operations.
