CRAP Websites

GOOD DESIGN IS CRAP

At CRAP WEB DESIGN, our mission is to make the journey into the digital world manageable and enjoyable. We take a down-to-earth approach while delivering quality websites that help business owners stand out.

Every site we build is clean, modern, responsive, and tailored to reflect the unique personality of the business behind it.

We use the core principles of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity to create clear, cohesive, and structured designs. Contrast improves readability, repetition builds identity, alignment improves structure, and proximity shows relationships. Together, they make designs more intuitive and effective.

“Above and beyond her technical expertise, Alex brings a cheerful attitude and a light sense of humor that makes collaborating with her a genuine pleasure. She has a knack for simplifying complex challenges, ensuring our art shines online without unnecessary clutter. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and we continue to rely on her ongoing support to keep our websites looking great. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone seeking a talented, dependable, and delightful website designer.”

Jenny Gummersall, Fine Artist
“Alex is a fantastic designer and exudes the creativity skill set needed to be successful in marketing or design. She was always willing to accept new projects without hesitation. Specifically Alex did a great job with staying in communication with me as we moved through the design process. She always accepted our feedback and made adjustments in a timely matter. She also really understands brand consistency, as was evident in her brand package she developed for us. ”

Nick Maffei, Communications & Marketing Specialist Cal State Monterey Bay
“I worked with Alex Crapo in preparation for the 2019 American Geophysical Union Conference in San Francisco. The projected entailed a major poster design that would clearly convey the research that my team has been working on for the past year. Alex’s design and communication abilities went far beyond what was expected considering the limited amount of time given to complete the project. ”

Will Carrara, Software Engineer NASA AMES Research Center
“Alex was a pleasure to work with. She was able to design with limited verbal information from us and came up with effective products. She set up timely meetings to address our concerns and made any adjustments to designs quickly after our review. We were very happy working with her!”

Kevin Rudy, Vice President of Technology at Laur Silicone, Inc.
"Beyond graphic design, Alex is a competent photographer, project manager, and team leader. She is an excellent advocate for the places she works and is unafraid to encourage others to be the same. She is always challenging herself to learn new techniques and polish her skills. She is easy to get in touch with, very responsive, and willing to share whatever feedback she has, and does so in a professional, courteous, and kind manner. I cannot write enough good things about Alex. Working with her is one of the highlights of my career at the Otter Student Union and CSUMB.”

Michelle Czarnecki Assistant Director, OSU
“Alex is not only a great designer, but an incredible teammate. When I was overseeing the marketing for a national food brand (sold in Whole Foods, Target, etc) she drove and crafted the brand redesign/refresh for our packaging. It not only led to more sales in store and online, and standing out from our competitors on the shelf, but she was able to tell the story of the brand, all in one logo. I hope to work with her again in the future in my career, and I can’t recommend her design skills enough.”
