About

View portfolio ↓

I’m Deborah Swain, a British-born web designer based in Rome, Italy. I have been helping creative people all over the world – from London to Beijing – build their home on the Web since 2004. I run LiT Web Studio, providing web design, website maintenance, translation and web content localization services.

I have realised projects for authors, journalists and filmmakers, as well as small businesses and charities, working closely with clients to tailor distinctive websites that meet their specific needs and highlight their own individual styles.

I am also a published Italian into English translator.
