Had an absolutely brilliant time at event at the Chichester Festival of Business today. Incredible community and it’s clear how passionate founders Debbie and Emily are about connecting people and encouraging collaboration between businesses. I was even nominated for an award and was a runner up in that category. More on that next week, needs a post of its own 👀😅 perfect introduction back into the world of networking. Got me excited about again, watch this space

Hello again from New Zealand 👋 Meant to be home because our flights via Dubai got disrupted, so we are now here until the 28th March. Decided to spend a few days in the north of the north island, it’s just stunning. Could happily spend a life time exploring this beautiful country. Emails still open, keeping things ticking over between spending time with family and seeing the sights. See you soon uk!

Currently in Queenstown, one of the most beautiful towns! So vibrant yet relaxed, love this place. It’s absolutely freezing for the most part unless the sun is out, very different climate to the north island!

Been in New Zealand for the past week, here for another few. Today is a work day so have set up office on the balcony. Than you to my lovely clients for being patient with the time zone difference! Thought I’d also share some other pics of where we're currently staying in Tairua

Running your own business and taking time off isn’t always straightforward. Here I've written about how I planned my maternity leave, trusted the right people, and what I'm upto next ✈️

Some of you may know that in October 2025 my husband and I welcomed our first child – our amazing baby daughter – into the world. It’s been an incredible rollercoaster experience and I’m loving every second of being a parent. But as a self-employed director of Starboard, maternity leave has ...

Made the return to work from Mat leave last week! As you can see there’s one baby who insists on joining me for work. Incase you’re wondering why she’s wearing pyjamas, Rocket got neutered last week so she’s been wanting lots of cuddles. My inbox is open if anyone has any web projects they want to discuss!

I've been a bit quiet on socials because just over a week ago my husband and I welcomed to the world our baby daughter 🥰 Everyone is doing very well and we're super happy just getting into the swing of things.

Whilst I'm off I am being supported by an amazing freelance team who are keeping things ticking over, and I'm extremely grateful to all my clients who have been very patient and understanding whilst stuff gets handed over 🙏 I'll be checking in occassionally but otherwise leaving things in the capabale hands of the team and will be back to work in the new year 😊

Proper heading hierarchy matters for SEO, UX, and accessibility, yet I see it misused all the time. In this post you’ll learn:

- Why heading structure is critical (for both screen readers and search engines)
- Common mistakes to avoid
- Tips for content editors and developers

If you’re building content-driven sites (WordPress, CMS, or otherwise), it's worth knowing how to use headings correctly 🙂

When building a website, it’s easy to focus on the visual side of headings (how big they look, how they fit into a design) and forget about their real job: giving structure, meaning, and clarity to your content. At Starboard, I believe accessible, structured content isn’t just good practice – ...
