A little while ago, I met the lovely Emma. Emma came to me with a thought and feeling of how and what she wanted her new website to convey.

Emma is a successful screenwriter - writing and executive producing the original feature film screenplay Mary Shelley starring Elle Fanning - but her other love is Land Healing.

I was thrilled that Emma found me to help bring her second dream alive - Love for the Land. The brief was nature, calming and connected. Using nature and Emma's own photos as the inspiration, https://lovefortheland.com was born.

Have you ever just thought, any website is better than nothing.

There's definitely times when something is better than nothing. I mean, getting one donut 🍩 from the box of 12 is better than missing out all together.

But when it comes to business, a bad website could be bad for business.

Think about it like this...

Your bestie says to you, “Go try Al’s Coffee & Cake Cafe — their coffee and mud cake is to die for.” So you drive to the address they gave you and you see a run-down building with peeling paint and no clear front entrance. You double check the address because surely this can’t be the place.

But it is.

So you drive off.

Now inside could have been the Taj Mahal. The service could have been incredible and the coffee and cake absolutely worth the trip. But the first impression was enough to put you off before you even walked through the door.

That’s exactly what a bad website is doing for your business.

People are taking one look and driving right on by.

A while ago I created this beautiful website for the lovely Gayle.

Her art work speaks for itself, so we wanted the website to compliment and showcase it, not overwhelm. We decided on calming, neutral colours and a minimalist style that was art gallery worthy, but not boring.

I was really happy with the end result and now Gayle can edit her site, add her new pieces freely and is doing great things with her art.

Take a look for yourself... and her animal portraits are as close to a photo as you'll get!

Hey Hey 👋

Happy Tues-yay... see what I did there ...

So I'm just popping into your feed with something new that I'm introducing and it's just a bit exciting!

Over the past few months, I’ve had so many conversations with business owners who are looking at their website thinking:

👉 “It just needs a good tidy up…”
👉 “It’s a bit all over the place now, but I don't have the energy/budget for a whole new site"
👉 “I’ve been meaning to fix it for ages”
👉 “It's just crap” 😅

They don't need a full rebuild or a massive project that takes weeks.

Just someone to come in, clean it up, streamline it and make it feel right again after too many attempts "to fix it".

So I’ve created:

🚀 Done & Dusted Website VIP Day.

I set aside a full day to focus on one website... YOURS!

In that day we'll:

🌼 refresh the homepage
🌼 tidy up the layout across your pages
🌼 fix the little things that have built up over time
🌼 and get your site feeling consistent and polished again

No long timelines. No dragging things out.

Just more done than it is now ✔️

I’m opening up a small number of spots to start with for May and June, so if your website has been sitting on your to-do list for way too long, this might be exactly what you need. And don't forget, it's also a good tax deduction 😝

Well… it’s been a minute since I’ve posted on here 😅 If you know me or a long time follower, you'll notice I'm very intermittent on social media... we have a love/hate relationship! I keep forgetting about it and it keeps reminding me it's there with notifications 😂

But it's been anything but quiet in my little world. I’ve actually been busy behind the scenes working on a few websites - one I’ve just finished is for The Exchange Shed which I shared last week.

It really reminded me that not every business needs a full brand new website… sometimes a refresh or tidy up can make a massive difference (and not blow the budget either) 🚀

The before and after's are also on the post I shared, or you can just check out the new site here: www.theexchangeshed.com

If your website’s been sitting there looking a bit sad lately, feel free to have a stickybeak at what I do 👉 www.belindaowen.com or reach out to me.

Oh, and we also moved to Townsville!! 🏝️ I now get to walk to the beach rather than look at it on my screensaver! Of course, we also have to watch for 🐊🐊 too..... 🤣

Tell me, what are you up to right now?

Me... I'm on my 3rd coffee trying to stay awake. Is it Friday yet??? 🤣🤣

In the current climate, maybe a new website isn't quiet in your immediate grasp or budget. I get it. 😔

But a redesign of your existing website could be all you need to bring those clients back in or give you that much needed boost. 🚀
Like with a lot of things, websites become outdated, old, slow and just stop hitting the mark.

A website redesign can be as simple or complex as you need it to be - or as your budget allows. You might be wanting to rebrand and give it a facelift, or just fix the design so it flows better and looks more modern. It's amazing was some TLC, a few new images and a splash of design can do to a website.

Here's one I recently did for a client of mine - Megan from The Exchange Shed. As a Containers for Change authorised collector, their website needs to reflect the professionalism of the bigger business they are affiliated with.

A quick once over of all her pages, some new videos and a better use of the branding colours, and we've got a brand new website - for the fraction of the cost of a new one. All the bones are the same, but it has a whole new look and feel.

See the images below of the old site to compare. What do you think?

✨ You don’t always need a brand new website to move your business forward.

I know the current climate has a lot of small business owners being cautious with spending — and rightly so. But that doesn’t mean your website has to stay stuck where it is.

Sometimes, a refresh or design tweak is all you need to give your site a boost 🚀

It's amazing what a cleaner layout, better flow, updated content and improved mobile experience can do - with a fraction of the budget of a brand new site.

I’ve just finished a redesign for The Exchange Shed, and it’s a great example of what’s possible with the right tweaks and strategy.

👉 Check out the live site here: https://www.theexchangeshed.com

(I’ve shared before & after screenshots below so you can see the transformation!)

If your website is feeling a bit tired, clunky or just not converting the way it should — there are options that can suit your budget and still make a big impact.

A new website up and running before 🎄

Peter came to me seeking a website that was more on brand, cleaner and easier to navigation than his existing site. The old site was dated and no longer reflected his business.

We've gone for an easy to navigate and on brand website that utilises their branding colours in a way that stand out, but don't overwhelm. We've included a tiny bit of movement to areas we wanted to draw more attention.

When you have a text heavy site or informational site, it's important to space out your text and create interest through sections and headings. It helps people find the information they need faster. Another key to an informational site is good 'call-to-actions' so people can take action on your website - usually a call us now or funnel them through to a simple to use contact form.

This website is part of my "Let's Get More" website package.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

🌺🌺 Lest We Forget. 🌺🌺
