Her services include full website designs and redesigns, ongoing maintenance, tech support, VIP days, and DIY options such as audits, courses, and guides.

"I work with businesses that value design and detail, creating websites that truly reflect who they are and make it easy for their clients to engage with them," explained Nikita.

She added, "From booking systems and online shops to members areas and clear user experience, my goal is to help clients feel confident, organised, and excited about their online presence."

After planning my wedding entirely online from Australia, Nikita saw firsthand how overwhelming and frustrating confusing some websites can be.

She said, “That experience, along with my background in nursing and my own challenges with social anxiety, shaped the way I approach design: with clarity, thoughtfulness, and a strong focus on user experience.”

The WIBEAs celebrate outstanding Irish women in business across multiple categories, recognising excellence, innovation, and leadership.

The awards ceremony will take place in Kilkenny later this month.
