Dial-up noises. Flip phones with Snake. icanhascheezburger practically the whole internet.

The web has come so far! So why do so many business websites still look and function like they did five, ten, or even fifteen years ago?

If your site hasn't been reviewed, tested, or updated in a while, it's probably showing more than you realise.

Web design isn't a one-and-done job. It's something that needs to evolve — just like everything else on the internet.

That's what my new CRO Snapshot service is for — a quick, practical look at why your site isn't converting as well as it could. Link in bio.

CRO in 30 seconds. If you've got decent traffic but it's not turning into enquiries or bookings, a full redesign isn't always the answer — the fix is often smaller than people think. Swipe through for the quick version. What's the one thing on your site you're not sure is working as hard as it should?

We web designers love our geeky acronyms — SEO, DNS, HTTP, GEO, CMS, CTA, the list goes on. Most of it you genuinely don't need to know. But there's one that could really help your business right now, and it's probably one of the least well-known: CRO = Conversion Rate Optimisation. It's not about driving more traffic to your site (sometimes even the wrong traffic) — it's about making sure the people already there actually do the thing you want them to, whether that's buying, enquiring, or donating. TTFN!

Had a few conversations recently with Cheltenham business owners about building their own website with AI tools — and it's honestly impressive what's possible now.
But there's a gap between a site that looks finished and one that's actually doing its job for you — and it usually doesn't show up until months later.

I wrote up what I've been seeing, and what's worth checking before going all-in on AI alone.

Ever searched for the "best web designer" and wondered who actually decides those rankings? 👀
Those "best of" lists can be a useful starting point, but they don't always tell you what you really need to know before investing in a new website.

The right web designer isn't necessarily the one at the top of a list. It's the one that's the right fit for your business.

Before you make a decision, it's worth looking beyond rankings and asking a few questions about experience, process, communication and whether the person you're hiring truly understands your business goals.

Your website content is for your visitors, not for you.
So many sites are written from the business's point of view — what we do, our history, our mission — when visitors are really only asking one question: "what's in it for me?"
Flip the lens. Every page, every sentence, every headline should answer that first.

💬 If you looked at your homepage right now — who is it actually written for?

Ever noticed how every "best website design company" list is written by whoever's sitting at number one? 👀

Choosing someone to build your website is a big investment, so it's worth looking beyond the rankings.

I've put together a guide covering:

✅ Why quotes can vary so much
✅ Freelancer vs agency vs founder-led studio
✅ Why review counts don't always tell the full story
✅ The questions you should ask before signing anything

If you're planning a new website, or thinking about redesigning your current one, this will help you make a more informed decision.

People buy from people they recognise.
Not logos. Not stock photos. People. If your website could belong to any business in your industry, you're invisible in a sea of sameness.
Put your face on it, your voice, your actual story — the things that make you the only choice for the right person, not just another option.

💬 Does your website actually sound like you, or could it be any business in your industry?
