Introduction
Your website is more than just an online business card - it’s your shop window, your point of truth, your digital home. It should work for you, not just sit there looking pretty.
I work with women in business who are passionate about what they do but often struggle with the digital side - whether it’s getting a website that actually converts, knowing what content to create, or making sense of AI-driven tools that can save time and money.
This is a little insight into how I help - from building effective websites to content that keeps customers engaged and smart AI strategies that make the whole process more affordable and efficient.

1. Websites That Support Your Business, Not Just ‘Look Nice’
A website should be more than an online business card - it should help you achieve real business goals. It's your shop window, it's your point of truth (or at least it should be).
A recent client - let’s call her Sarah - had spent a very large amount of money to create a beautiful website but wasn’t getting any leads. The issue? No clear messaging, no customer journey, and no call to action - all of this was well hidden - a bit like secret squirrel. We restructured her site to:
✔ Clearly communicate her services and who they were for
✔ Guide visitors towards taking action (book a call, sign up, enquire)
✔ Improve SEO so she actually got found online.
The result?
A significant increase in appointments in three months. Leading to improved sales (the online booking system accounting for at least 60% of purchases).
This is why I don’t just ‘build a website’ - I work with you to make sure it actually delivers results. Before we design anything, we map out:
✅ Who your ideal customer is
✅ What your website needs to do for your business
✅ How you’ll attract your audience to visit and bring people back once they have visited.
It may seem very obvious to ask those questions but it's surprising how many people don't. Also, a website without a plan is just another pretty page on the internet.

2. Content That Brings Customers Back
Ever visited a website that just lists services but doesn’t actually say anything useful?
One of my clients - a producer of beautiful hand-made goods - had a DIY website that was completely static, no fresh content to encourage engagement. People were visiting once but that was it. The site was really flat and boring. We reworked her content to:
✔ Speak directly to her ideal client’s interests
✔ Provide handy hints, tips and how-to guides, also introduced video
✔ Created a monthly newsletter which did a great fresh content round-up. This is emailed direct to subscribers.
The result?
Website engagement has increased with over 400% new subscribers. Customers are also spending more time on the site and are actively participating.
How I Help With Content
If you’re not sure what to write, I can help with:
✔ Content planning & editing
✔ AI-assisted content (which I refine to match your voice)
✔ SEO-driven blogs to attract new visitors.
Because getting people to your site is one thing - keeping them there is another.
3. AI Can Aid Website Development - But Strategy Comes First
I’ve been working extensively with AI in website development and marketing and I find it endlessly fascinating. Used well, AI can make the process faster, more affordable, and more efficient - but it’s not a replacement for strategy or creativity. Here’s how I use it to help my clients build websites that actually work. From creating great brochure websites in a day to a strong brand presence:
How I Use AI to Speed Up & Reduce Costs:
✔ AI-powered AEO/SEO tools to help your website get found faster
✔ AI-assisted content (which I refine for clarity and personality)
✔ AI-generated layout suggestions for a smoother user experience.
What AI CAN’T Do:
❌ Replace strategic thinking (we can certainly use it as a great assistant though)
❌ Understand your brand’s unique voice (we can use it to help define this though)
❌ Build a site that truly connects with your audience (without a good bit of steering).
The key is balance. AI helps with efficiency, but real success comes from creativity, strategy, and experience. AI is a great tool but only in the right hands. Hands that understand what the result should look like!

4. What Happens After Launch? How I Support You
Okay, yes, we have all seen ‘Field of Dreams’ - "If you build it they will come". I wish!
A website is a great start, but it isn’t a magic fix. It’s your shop window, your point of truth, but what isn’t it? A self-sustaining lead generator unless you take steps to drive traffic and keep people engaged.
The biggest mistake I see? Thinking a website alone will bring customers. It won’t - unless you actively work to bring people back.
A Snapshot of How I Can Help You Post-Launch:
✔ SEO & AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) to keep your site visible
✔ Content strategy - blogs, lead magnets, and updates to engage visitors
✔ Tools that work together - email, social media, and automation to bring people back
Example: A Consultant Who Needed Visibility
A client had a well-built website, but no one was finding it. We worked on:
✔ SEO-driven blog content to increase her rankings
✔ A lead magnet (free resource) to capture potential client emails
✔ A simple email strategy to keep customers engaged
The result?
Website traffic doubled in four months, and she landed two high-ticket clients directly from her site.
Your website is just one piece of the puzzle - I help you connect the dots so it actually works for your business.
