ABOUT
handcut designs
We are a CREATIVE Web Design and Development Studio
Have passion for what you do
You work hard. Whether running a small business, hosting a festival, or promoting your artwork, there’s plenty on your plate. You know the importance of a strong website and online presence, but the process feels like an uphill battle. Contemplating SEO? Coding HTML? SOS!
That’s where i can help.
When you work with Handcut Designs, you get more than an effective website. You get a website that fits your lifestyle. With the goal of mutual understanding, we design a site incorporating your unique needs while explaining its mechanics in layman’s terms. In the end, you’ll gain time-saving skills along with a finished product that doesn’t require a degree in advanced computer science to maintain.
Why am I Your Best Option?
Because digital marketing doesn’t need to be difficult
All too often, innovative design is framed as a lofty concept; comprehensible only to advanced designers and developers. I believe high-tech ideas – when presented in plain speech – are not only accessible, but fascinating. To us, creativity and business strategy go hand-in-hand. I strive to journey alongside you, both educating and being educated.
Each new project continues our growth as creative professionals while adding to our shared arsenal of common sense strategies. Through collaboration, we simultaneously benefit and extend our understanding of the world outside our office door.

My name is Alex Magana, I’m a freelancer that lives in Chicago but works in projects in other parts of the world as well. I specialize in WordPress and other platforms like Shopify, HubSpot, Wix, SquareSpace, IMXPRS, Weebly, and many others. I’m also an IT professional with years of experience in Windows, Mac, Android and Networks.
Digital consultant and graphic designer with knowledge in the Adobe Suite but lately I prefer the Affinity Software, no subscriptions!
I like to work with technologies like Trello, Figma, Google Apps like Gmail and the Calendar and the Photos since they’re free and offer a great workflow. I like to consult in technology issues like Cloud and Digital Workflows for web maintenance and support.
WE means that I work with a small group of expert coders, printers, designers, videographers, photographers, illustrators and copywriters as the projects require.
