I’ve just finished a redesign for a client in the Netherlands and this review made my day. It’s so nice to know the work landed just right.

This makes review number fifty eight and I’m very grateful for every one of them.

"Chiara is absolutely brilliant! From start to finish she was professional, fast, and incredibly client-focused. She really listens, understands your vision and turns it into a modern, clean and highly effective website that perfectly fits the brand. Communication is crystal clear and super quick; changes are made the same day, and she always comes with smart extra suggestions you hadn’t even thought of. For the outstanding quality she delivers, the price is more than fair; you get real value for money. If you want a website that stands out, works beautifully and gets results, Chiara is hands-down the best choice. I couldn’t be happier with the result! 100 % recommended."

If you're thinking about a redesign - I’ve added something new to my website.
You can now view a simple Before and After Gallery that shows real client websites and how they changed after a full rebuild.
It is a quick way to see the difference that clearer layouts, better structure, and updated branding can make.

If you want the full story behind any project, you can still explore my usual case studies.

💻 Is your website quietly putting people off?
If you’ve had the same site for years, it might not be doing your business any favours anymore.

I’ve pulled together a quick guide on how to tell when your website’s due a redesign; plus a few easy tests you can do yourself in minutes.

It covers things like:
✅ How your site looks on mobile
✅ What your speed score says about performance
✅ When design or messaging is costing you enquiries

If two or more of these signs sound familiar, it might be time for a refresh.
And yes; you can always book a free website health check with me to find out where to start. (book it here https://chiarabroom.co.uk/free-website-health-check/)

Not sure if your website still does the job? Here’s how to spot the signs it’s time for a redesign — plus a few quick checks you can do yourself.

🚖 New Project Launch
I’ve just finished a complete website redesign and SEO copy project for Bay-Travel Taxis & Transfers - a Sidmouth-based taxi company specialising in airport and port journeys.

The new site focuses on local search visibility, clear service pages, and simple booking for customers across East Devon.

Most small business websites I check have the same few issues:

⚙️ Slow loading times
🔍 Missing key SEO elements
🧭 Confusing navigation
🔒 Missing SSL or broken links

A website health audit helps you find and fix these before they cost you visitors or trust.

I’ve written a quick, plain-English guide explaining what I look for and why it matters — perfect if you haven’t reviewed your site in a while.
