My Ongoing Training & Certifications

One thing I take seriously at D-S-Design Studio is continuous learning.

Web design, SEO, and digital marketing change fast. Best practice evolves. Platforms update. Algorithms shift. If I want to deliver work that actually performs, staying current isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Since my last studies update, I’ve continued investing time into structured, accredited training to strengthen how I design, build, and optimise websites for real businesses.

Here’s a transparent look at what I’ve completed recently — and why it matters for my clients.

‍

Webflow certifications and platform mastery

Webflow is at the core of many projects I deliver, so building the right way matters just as much as visual design.

I’ve now completed:

• Webflow Way Certification

• Webflow Partner Certification

• Webflow Enterprise Sales Certification

These focus on far more than just building pages. They cover scalable structure, CMS logic, performance, maintainability, and long-term usability — all things that directly affect how a website performs after launch.

This ensures every Webflow site I build follows platform best practices, not shortcuts.

Advanced SEO and inbound marketing training

SEO is not something I bolt on at the end of a project. It’s part of structure, content, hierarchy, and strategy from day one.

Alongside my HubSpot SEO Certification Level 1 & 2, I’ve now also completed:

• Digital Marketing Certification

• Digital Advertising Certification

• Inbound Marketing Certification

• Inbound Marketing Optimisation Certification

These courses go beyond keywords and rankings. They focus on how users find, engage with, and convert through content — which directly influences how I approach website structure, copy flow, and calls-to-action.

Why this matters for clients

Certifications aren’t about badges — they’re about standards.

This ongoing training means clients can expect:

• websites built with clean, scalable structure

• SEO-informed layouts and content hierarchy

• stronger foundations for local and organic search

• marketing strategy aligned with real user behaviour

• ethical, sustainable SEO practices

• websites that are easier to manage and grow over time

It also means I’m not relying on outdated methods or guesswork — everything is grounded in current best practice.

Design, marketing, and performance working together

Good websites don’t exist in isolation.

Design, content, SEO, accessibility, and marketing all influence one another. These certifications strengthen how I connect those disciplines — not treat them as separate services.

Whether I’m building a new site, refreshing an existing one, or auditing performance, this knowledge feeds directly into practical decisions that improve clarity, trust, and results.

Ongoing learning is part of the job

This isn’t the end.

I’ll continue developing skills, refining processes, and staying aligned with platform standards so clients receive work that holds up long after launch — not just something that looks good on day one.

If you’re working with D-S-Design Studio, you’re working with someone who actively invests in doing things properly.
