Meet Anya Charles
Meet Anya Charles, our latest featured client and owner of Soul Salt Ink & Expeditions. Anya is a passionate storyteller and experienced world traveler who has set out to seamlessly blend her two distinct passions into a single business. She sought DuckByte’s design and web expertise to create a cohesive website that merges two streams into one unified platform.
Recognizing the inherent connection between Anya’s passions and her livelihood, DuckByte collaborated to shape a narrative that seamlessly integrates her personal and professional journeys. By providing expert design and platform support, we empowered Anya to share her unique story in a manner that is both inspiring and relatable, bridging the gap between her personal experiences and her professional endeavors
Integration of Two Distinct Business Streams
We began by understanding the unique needs of each business stream. Our goal was to create a unified website that would allow both facets of her career to shine while maintaining a distinct identity for each. Utilizing carefully selected color themes and dedicated landing pages, we ensured that visitors could easily navigate and engage with each aspect of her business.
Establishing Anya’s Unique Brand Identity
In addition to integrating her two business streams, we saw a clear vision for establishing Anya as her own brand identity, leveraging her unique strengths and passions. We also harnessed Anya’s savvy, charismatic entrepreneurial spirit, infusing her brand with personal pizzazz to create a vibrant and engaging online presence. By combining strategic design and authentic storytelling, we ensured her professional and personal narratives resonate with her audience, setting her apart in the digital landscape.

Anya’s Personal Journey
Expanding from her personal brand identity, Anya also seamlessly infused her creative vision with our design team by contributing original logo designs and website visual assets in a collaborative effort.
Collaborative Design Process
This project held particular significance for us as it marked our inaugural deep dive into a collaborative design process. Our client was intricately involved in crafting the design assets, breathing life into her vision. This collaboration not only enriched the design but also underscored our versatility and unwavering commitment to meeting our clients’ needs.
Our client actively participated in the design process by personally crafting her own logo and banner header art for each page. This joint effort ensured seamless alignment between her designs and our user-centric color themes and text suggestions, resulting in a unified and visually captivating website.
Furthermore, leveraging her skills as a photographer, our client contributed her own imagery to the project, imbuing it with a distinctive personal touch.

Layout Expertise: Elevating Narrative Flow
As we delved into the project, one of the key challenges we encountered was effectively organizing and presenting an abundance of text in a visually captivating manner. Our design team rose to the occasion, skillfully integrating imagery with text to craft a seamless narrative flow across the site. This meticulous attention to detail shines particularly bright on the ‘My Journey’ page, where our layout expertise comes to the fore. By artfully blending imagery and text, we ensured Anya’s story is not just told, but experienced, captivating and inspiring visitors at every turn.

Testimonial From Our Client
From the start, they created a comprehensive outline and incorporated all my ideas and feedback seamlessly. As someone who often experiences decision paralysis and needs professional input to reach conclusions, I couldn’t have asked for better guidance. Alesia was amazing – patience with my thoughts and went above and beyond is tying up loose ends, from what photos to upload to setting up my email account – everything was covered, and then some.
Alesia and Paul were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, timely, and incredibly attentive to details I had overlooked. The end result is a beautiful, functional website that perfectly represents and helps grow both of my businesses. I’m thrilled with the outcome and highly recommend DuckByte for their exceptional work.
