who is roodesign?

Jon Roobottom

Hello, my name is Jon Roobottom, and I'm a freelance designer with a passion for great design and even better content.

But I haven't always been a freelancer, I've spent a good chunk of my career working for some exciting companies, honing my skills - and learning to understand the huge diversity of clients requirements. Even when they don't know what they need themselves.

Good web design is an art all of it's own, requiring a diverse skill set and a real understanding of what it is that keeps people coming back to your site time and time again.

Jon's design work has been fantastic, he brings fresh ideas to the table, has a great understanding of user experience & usability as well as a good feel for design and work flow.
