After 35 years in construction. A career in finance and business management. Qualifications in NLP, accounting, nutrition and styling. And now — building websites for independent service businesses.

Here's what I know for certain:

Most small business owners are far better at their job than their website suggests.

They're skilled, experienced and genuinely good at what they do. But their website is letting them down quietly — losing enquiries they'll never even know about.

That gap is exactly what I fix.

Not with clever design for its own sake. Not with technology that overwhelms. But with clear, structured, professional websites that reflect the standard of the work behind them.

If that sounds like what you need — I'd love to help.

It's one of the most common questions I get — and one of the least straightforward to answer. So here's an honest breakdown.

A framework website from Riva starts from £850. That includes a professionally structured one-page site adapted to your business, your branding, your services and your audience — with SEO foundations built in from the start.

A fully bespoke custom build starts from £2,500. That's for businesses that need something more complex, more pages or a more tailored process from scratch.
What you won't get from either — a site that looks like it was built in an afternoon and forgotten about.

What to watch out for at the cheaper end:

— No SEO foundations
— Generic templates with your name dropped in
— No mobile optimisation
— No ongoing support
— Hidden costs for every small change

A website is not an expense. It's infrastructure. And like any infrastructure, the quality of what's underneath matters as much as what you can see.

Most people assume a website project starts with a blank page and a vague conversation about colours.
Mine starts differently.

Before I build a single section of your website, you will receive a full branding document. Colour palette, font pairings, and mood direction — all pulled together so that everything that follows is intentional, consistent and built around your business.

It's one of the things that separates a properly structured website from something that's just been cobbled together.

Structure first. Brand second. Build third.

That's the Riva way.

Introducing the Professional Organiser Framework — a calm, structured website built for home organisers, decluttering specialists and lifestyle organisers.

There's something fitting about a professional organiser having a website that's clear, uncluttered and easy to navigate. That's exactly what this framework delivers.

This framework includes:

— A clear introduction and personal story
— Services and what's included
— Who you help and how
— Before and after results
— Testimonials
— Enquiry form
— SEO foundations

Adaptable for home organisers, decluttering coaches, move management specialists, downsizing consultants and lifestyle organisers.

Because the people who help others create calm in their homes deserve a website that reflects exactly that.

Every word on your website is either moving someone closer to getting in touch — or giving them a reason not to.

I hold a qualification in NLP — neuro-linguistic programming. It's not something I lead with, but it quietly shapes everything I do.

Because good web design isn't just about how something looks. It's about how it makes someone feel when they land on your page — and what it makes them do next.

The heading that stops someone scrolling. The button they actually click. The sentence that makes them think "yes, that's exactly what I need."

That's not accidental. That's language doing its job properly.

It's one of the things that makes Riva different from a designer who just makes things look nice.

This one was not a straightforward build — and that's exactly why it's worth sharing.

GT Construction came to me needing a professional website that reflected the quality of their work. What followed was one of the more technically involved projects I've taken on.

Here's what was actually involved behind the scenes:

— A complete walkthrough video was produced so the client could manage their own content updates confidently and independently
— Built completely from scratch — no framework, no shortcuts
— Custom code written and implemented for a rolling image section
— Code later removed and replaced with Divi Supreme when the client decided to manage their own image uploads
— Significant DNS work required because their domain had originally been set up with Google, which was subsequently purchased by Squarespace
— Full website migration from their existing setup over to SiteGround
— A complete walkthrough video produced so the client could manage their own content updates confidently and independently

The site is live. The structure, services, trust signals and enquiry route are all in place. Images are currently placeholders — the client is updating those in their own time using the training I provided.

This is what bespoke website work actually looks like.

Not every project is complicated — but when it is, you need someone who can handle it without passing the problem back to you.

If your website was built more than three years ago, this is worth a read.

Mobile behaviour has changed. The way people search has changed. What someone expects to see when they land on a page has changed.

A site that looked fine in 2021 may now be:
If your website was built more than three years ago, this is worth a read
— Slow to load on mobile
— Hard to navigate on a phone
— Missing the trust signals clients now expect
— Invisible to search engines that have moved on

You wouldn't hand a client a brochure from three years ago.

Your website deserves the same attention.

Introducing The Gentle Shift — a calm, professional website framework built specifically for menopause coaches and women's wellness professionals.

I didn't build this framework from a distance.

I ran menopause support groups for years. I've sat in those rooms, understood what women in that space need — and what newly qualified coaches struggle to communicate online.

This framework gives you:

— A clear, trustworthy online presence
— Space to tell your story
— Your services explained simply
— A gentle but effective enquiry route
— SEO foundations built in

You've done the training. You know your work makes a difference. Your website should say that clearly.

A template is something you download and try to make fit.

A framework is built around how your specific type of business actually works — the enquiries you need, the trust you need to build, the questions your clients always ask before they get in touch.

One feels borrowed. The other feels built for you.

That's the difference between what most web designers offer and what Riva does.
Every framework I build starts with the business, not the design.

Most web designers will ask you what colours you like.

I'll ask you how you get your enquiries, what your margins look like, and whether your clients find you or you find them.

That's not a standard web design question. That's 35 years of working inside construction and trade businesses talking. Add a background in finance, business management and NLP — and what you actually get is someone who understands the business behind the website, not just the design of it.

That's what makes Riva different.

Your website isn't just a digital business card. It's your best salesperson — and it should work like one.
