From new website designs to stunning website redesigns, I love working with female founders and small business owners to help achieve a unique and successful web presence.  One that showcases their product and services in the best light, and engages with their ideal customer. A website that stands out online, and wont cost a fortune!

I'll help you create a professional and fully responsive website, tailored to fit your small business and your vision, that will be easy to maintain. It will be built so it is optimised for search engines (so Google finds it!) and I can teach you how to maintain it so you can take care of the basics yourself and allow your business to flourish.

Launching a new business in a new sector after many years working in a corporate career is a daunting prospect. It was such a pleasure to become Lisa's brand partner and work with her through the early positioning stages, to consulting on her brand identity and launching her website with a clearly defined SEO strategy.  Rox Travel has hit her business targets of the first few months and Lisa hasn't looked back on her old career!

Sharene had outgrown her website, now 5 years old it no longer reflected her business and wasn't attracting her ideal clients. After a rebrand, I worked with Sharene on some brand photography as well as the new website.  Sharene has reported that the new site has led to an increase in enquiries

As part of a rebrand for Corrigans Original, I was approached to redesign their website.  Working with the beautiful illustrations by the artist Charlotte Day, the initial objective of the website was to build brand awareness and as a B2B sales tool.  The plan is to add an online shop to it in the future.

Launching a new business in a completely new industry takes vision and bravery. It was such a privilege to work in partnership with Gayle at Sunflower Celebrations, who had a very clear brand vision from the outset.  I did a very happy dance when she said at the first creative presentation that I had "nailed the brief, and more".  After launching her business, within a month she had fully booked her Summer wedding calendar.

Emma had outgrown her website in the two years she had been in business, and as a previous photography client of mine, approached me to give her site a complete redesign.  It's great to work on a project that includes a photography brief, as I was able to seamlessly bring the photographic style and website design together to create a strong brand image.

An elegant, clean and beautiful design was briefed for this photography business to reflect the new branding and allow the photography portfolio to take centre stage.  Incorporating a blog and a simple sales enquiry tool, it has generated an uplift in sales enquiries.

My websites start from £550.  However it really depends on what kind of website you need. I am very happy to chat and give you a guide price.

How much do you charge for a website?

Hosting is included on the development platforms that I use making it very easy for you to manage everything in one place and with one account.

Do I need to arrange hosting?

It's really important to me that not only your website looks beautiful but is also found by your ideal client on Google. We will work together on your SEO strategy and I  will set up some basic SEO on your site. I'll also set you up on Google Search Console and Google Analytics.

Is SEO included?

I allow approximately 6 weeks from kicking off the brief to launching your site. It is partly dependent on the time spent at the feedback and approval stage.

How long does it take to build a website?

Absolutely! I only work on platforms that allow clients to easily update as needed.  If requested I will provide training so you can to make website amendments and I also offer a monthly or ad-hoc website maintenance service. 

Can I update the website myself once it’s been built?

There are lots of providers, for example Godaddy, where you can buy your domain name. I sort out all the rest and arrange the domain name mapping.

How do I get a domain name?
