UI/UX Design and Development Portfolio of Lee Porter
Short Bio
Just a few details…
I’ve always loved great design. I remember designing logos and t-shirts for startups when I was a kid (although I don’t think they were ever used). Since then I’ve dabble in just about everything design related from branding to print to silk screening. Eventually I made my way into web design. With a little encouragement from my brother, I started learning code… and I haven’t looked back since.
I became fascinated with how users interact with websites. Trying to figure out what will resonate with the user is definitely a challenge, but a great user experience is worth it. I feel that the user needs to be the focus of both design and development. That way, everyone wins!

In love with design since before I can remember
Kind words from
Happy Clients
Lee is a very talented developer. We work with him every chance we get. Attention to detail, a can-do attitude and solid communication set him apart from others. We certainly value our partnership with him!
Since Lee joined our User Experience Design team, I have had a lot of conversations that went something like this “I don’t even know if that is possible, but I will ask Lee and see what he thinks”. Usually later that afternoon or the next day Lee would have delivered something above and beyond our expectations. Not only that, but he is always eager to help and deliver everything with a great attitude.
Lee did a great job in creating and developing our spaldingtiming.com website. He was very professional, detailed, and results oriented. We will definitely hire him for future website development.

Don’t take my word for it
Here’s what others have to say
Lee and I were co-workers in the past, so when my company needed a new website, he was the first person I called. He designs beautiful, functional, creative websites quickly and with excellence. Not only was the product even better than my team had imagined, but Lee was very responsive to questions, emails, and changes to the site that we were looking for. Lee took our site from lame, ugly, and difficult to navigate to streamlined, modern, and beautiful. Our team loved working with Lee and will definitely use him again in the future if we need his expertise!
Lee helped us put together our brand website. He was incredible at taking the abstract concepts we presented and moving it to a platform that exceeded our expectations. Lee met each deadline and provided us with feedback and suggestions on items we had overlooked. The solutions he provided us were insightful and targeted to our needs. The website was quickly implemented and we will be able to easily build on to it in the future. It was a pleasure to work with Lee and we look forward to working with him on future projects.
