Start Simple, Start Static

If you’re just starting out and don’t have the budget for a full e-commerce or dynamic site, here’s your tip:

A static website can be a powerful temporary solution.

It’s ideal if you:
✨ Need a professional online presence fast
✨ Want to share your services, contact info, and brand story
✨ Don't want monthly hosting fees
✨ Aren’t ready for complex features like booking systems or online shops

With a static site, you get:
✨ A clean, fast-loading website
✨ Essential pages (Home, About, Services, Contact)
✨ A space to grow from—without the tech stress or monthly fees of hosting

I’ve helped clients like Jess of Canine Trails Kent launch with static sites that feel calm, clear, and inviting, and they’ve received glowing feedback from customers. https://caninetrailskent.com

It’s budget-friendly with a one-off setup cost and no monthly hosting charges, scalable, and perfect for testing your messaging before investing in more complex systems.

If you’re ready to get online without the overwhelm, drop me a DM.

Wellbeing, Connection, and a Walk to Remember

On Friday afternoon, I joined Anthony Ackers of Mountain Boardroom for a wonderful wellbeing and networking walk, two and a half hours of fresh air, meaningful conversation, and gentle connection. We rounded it off with a lovely drink, marking World Mental Health Day in a way that felt both grounding and joyful.

It was a beautiful way to close the week. I met some fascinating local business owners and shared conversations that flowed from work to Formula 1, rollercoasters, and everything in between.

I would highly recommend these walks to anyone looking to blend wellbeing with community. I’m already looking forward to joining Anthony again soon.

What did you do for World Mental Health Day? Whether it was a moment of rest, a walk, or a quiet cup of tea, I’d love to hear how you honoured it.

Side Hustlers, Take Note: HMRC Plans to Raise the Tax Reporting Threshold
If you’ve got a side hustle, whether that’s selling prints, coaching, or building websites, there’s a potential change on the horizon that could simplify your tax admin.

HMRC has announced plans to triple the trading income threshold for Self Assessment from £1,000 to £3,000 by the end of 2029.

🔹 What could this mean?
If the change goes ahead, those earning between £1,000 and £3,000 from side gigs would still pay tax, but wouldn’t need to file a Self Assessment. Instead, HMRC says a new “simple online service” will be introduced (details still pending).

🔹 Who might benefit? Up to 300,000 people could fall below the new threshold, freeing up time, reducing paperwork, and helping more creatives and sole traders keep more of what they earn.

🔹 Quick recap (if the proposal is implemented):
Under £1,000: No tax, no Self Assessment
£1,000–£3,000: Tax payable, no Self Assessment
Over £3,000: Tax payable + Self Assessment required

Do you think this will actually happen, or will it quietly disappear like other “simplification” promises?

Worth keeping an eye on if you’re planning your next tax year. And if you know someone just starting out with a side hustle, share this with them!

When a client comes back with a second project, it’s the ultimate compliment.
After launching Rocky’s Pet Products on Shopify, Antonia Fox returned with her second venture: Renard & Fable, a boutique graphic design studio based in Wakefield. The site already had a strong visual identity, but she wanted it to do more, attract clients organically and stand out in the age of AI-powered search.
We focused on future-proofing her Squarespace site with a full SEO and content strategy, including:
✨ Keyword-rich homepage revisions
✨ Meta descriptions and page titles optimised for AI summaries
✨ Internal linking and clean URL structures
✨ Structured data (schema markup) for LocalBusiness and Services
✨ Local SEO enhancements to boost visibility in Wakefield and beyond
Antonia’s creative vision now has the technical foundation to match, and Renard & Fable is ready to be discovered, trusted, and chosen.

Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of working with the brilliant Kate Moryoussef of ADHD Women’s Wellbeing to enhance her digital presence across both Squarespace and Kajabi. Kate’s work is deeply impactful, offering powerful tools, resources, and workshops to support women navigating ADHD, and she recently launched an incredible book and toolkit designed with this community in mind. You can find Kate's website here https://www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk

I was originally introduced to Kate by the equally wonderful Heather Vincent, and what began as support with her Squarespace site naturally evolved into helping streamline branding and user experience across her Kajabi checkout and workshop pages.

Though our collaboration has now wrapped, I feel lucky to have played a part in her journey and will be following her continued work in the ADHD space with admiration. I hope there’s more to come for us in the future!

Hi, I’m Kate...… I’m the author of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit and host of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast. My work is rooted in gently guiding late-diagnosed ADHD women to move beyond the constant self-doubt, burnout, overthinking and emotional overwhelm, towards a calmer, more ...

Excited to share a meaningful website upgrade for ADHD Women’s Wellbeing! https://www.adhdwomenswellbeing.co.uk

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Kate Moryoussef to enhance the ADHD Women’s Wellbeing website, designing a calmer, clearer, and more intuitive space for neurodivergent users.

Here’s what I focused on:
✨ Streamlined navigation — helping users find what they need without cognitive overload
✨ Blog and podcast search functionality — simplifying access to empowering insights
✨ Three tailored user journeys — guiding visitors through smoother, more supportive experiences

Our goal was to reduce overwhelm and elevate clarity, creating an online environment where ADHD users feel truly seen and supported.

I’m also thrilled to be extending my work with Kate to help redesign and rebrand her Kajabi workshop pages, keeping consistency and accessibility front and centre.

And best of all? Everything was completed just in time for her exciting book launch today 17th July!

Excited to see how these digital upgrades help even more women engage with the resources they need to thrive.

Hi, I’m Kate My work is rooted in gently guiding ADHD women to move beyond the constant self-doubt, overthinking and emotional overwhelm, towards a calmer, more balanced way of living.
