🌐 Let’s talk about domains (the address of your website)

If you’ve ever wondered “Where do I even start with a website?” — your domain name is usually the very first step.

Your domain is your website’s home on the internet. It’s what people type into their browser to find you, and it plays a bigger role than most people realise.

A good domain name should be:
✨ Easy to remember
✨ Simple to spell
✨ Clear and relevant to your business
✨ Professional and trustworthy

This tiny piece of tech often gets rushed, but choosing the right domain sets the foundation for everything else — your website, your emails, even how people perceive your brand.

If you’re at the early stages of building (or rebuilding) your website, understanding domains early on can save you a lot of confusion later.

And don’t worry — you don’t need to be “techy” to get this right. Once you know the basics, it’s actually very straightforward 💛

🔗 Let’s talk about app integrations (because your website shouldn’t work alone)

If your website feels disconnected from the rest of your business — your emails, bookings, payments, or customer systems — then app integrations are likely what’s missing.

Modern website platforms can connect seamlessly with the tools you already use, such as:
📩 Email marketing platforms
📅 Booking and calendar systems
💳 Payment gateways
📊 Analytics and reporting tools
🧾 Invoicing and CRM systems

When app integrations are set up properly, your website becomes a central hub that works behind the scenes to save you time, reduce manual tasks, and keep everything running smoothly.

This is where many businesses hit a wall. The platform can integrate… but knowing what to connect, how to connect it, and how to make it work efficiently is the real skill.

If you’re at the stage where you want your website to do more than just “look nice” — and actually support how you run your business day to day — app integrations are a game changer.

And if you’re thinking “I want this, but I don’t want to break anything” — that’s exactly what I’m here for.
I help businesses choose the right platform, connect the right tools, and set everything up so it just works.

When your website and your systems talk to each other properly, everything gets easier 💛

🔍 Let’s talk about SEO tools (and why they matter more than you think)

If you already have a website but you’re wondering why it’s not being found, the answer often sits quietly in the background… SEO tools.

Most website platforms now come with built-in SEO features, but many business owners either don’t know they exist or aren’t sure how to use them properly.

Good SEO tools help you:
✨ Edit page titles and descriptions
✨ Optimise headings and content
✨ Improve page speed and performance
✨ Make your website easier for Google to understand
✨ Track what’s working (and what isn’t)

The platform you choose plays a big role here. Some platforms give you full control over SEO settings, while others keep things fairly basic. Neither is “wrong” — it just depends on your goals and how visible you want your website to be.

This is where a lot of small businesses get stuck. They’ve invested in a website, but they’re not getting the results they expected because the SEO tools aren’t being used properly… or at all.

If you’re not sure whether your website’s SEO tools are helping or holding you back, I’m always happy to take a look and explain things in plain English.

Sometimes it’s not about rebuilding — it’s about using what you already have the right way 💛

📦 Powerful integrations
Shipping, marketing tools, abandoned cart recovery… it’s all there and ready to plug in.

🌟 Thinking About Wix for Your Website? Here’s What You Should Know!

If you’ve been exploring website platforms, you’ve probably come across Wix — and for good reason! It’s a popular choice for small businesses who want something simple, visual, and quick to get up and running.

But before you dive in, here’s a little friendly insight to help you decide whether Wix is the right fit for your business…

✨ What makes Wix appealing?

It’s super beginner-friendly — no coding needed

Drag-and-drop design means you can create layouts visually

Lots of templates to choose from

Great for small service businesses, portfolios, and simple sites

✨ But… there are a few things to keep in mind:

Customisation has limits compared to platforms like WordPress

SEO tools are improving but still not as strong

As your business grows, you may outgrow the platform

Moving away from Wix later can be tricky

Wix can be a brilliant starting point if it aligns with your business goals and the type of website you need.

If you’re not sure whether Wix is right for you — or if another platform would suit your business better — I’m always here to guide you.

Choosing the right platform now saves so many headaches later on. 💛

🌟 Thinking About Building a Website? Let’s Talk WordPress!

If you’ve ever wondered “Which platform should I build my website on?” — WordPress is one you’ll definitely want to peek at. 👀

Here’s why small businesses love it:
✨ It’s flexible — create anything from a simple one-page site to a full online shop.
✨ It grows with you — your website can evolve as your business does.
✨ Thousands of plugins + templates — add features without needing to code.
✨ Great for SEO — Google loves a well-built WordPress site.

If you’re just starting your website journey and feeling a bit overwhelmed, WordPress is such a solid place to begin. It gives you space to experiment, learn, and create something you’re proud to show off.

Not sure if WordPress is right for you? I’m always happy to chat through your options and point you in the right direction 💬💛

Let’s talk about one of the simplest ways to increase enquiries from your website…
✨ Make your phone number easy to find.

It sounds like such a small detail, but it’s often the one thing standing between a potential client and that moment where they reach out.

Here’s why your phone number matters so much:

💛 Some people prefer speaking to a real person
💛 It builds instant trust and reassurance
💛 It removes hesitation (the biggest conversion killer!)
💛 It makes your business feel open, approachable, and ready to help

And here’s the key…
Your phone number shouldn’t be hidden in tiny text or buried on one page.
It needs to be:

✔ Clear
✔ Clickable on mobile
✔ Easy to spot in your header, footer, or contact page

When someone is already thinking about working with you, the last thing you want is for them to struggle to get in touch.

A visible phone number can be the difference between someone contacting you… and someone giving up.

This is exactly the kind of small-but-mighty improvement I make for clients all the time — tiny tweaks that lead to real results.

If you’d like me to take a quick look at how your contact details show up on your website, just drop me a message.
Sometimes a 2-minute fix can make a world of difference. 💛

Let’s be honest — when someone is ready to get in touch with your business, they don’t want to jump through hoops or hunt around your website.

✨ Your email should be easy to find.

It sounds obvious, but so many websites hide their email address in tiny text, tuck it away on a random page, or rely only on a contact form… and that can really put people off.

Here’s why your email matters:

💛 Some people prefer direct communication
💛 It builds trust (real business, real person!)
💛 It makes enquiries feel quick and effortless
💛 It reassures visitors that they can reach you anytime

When your email is clear, visible, and simple to use, you instantly make your website feel more welcoming and trustworthy.

And that matters — especially when someone is almost ready to work with you.

Placing your email in the right spots means:

✔ You get more enquiries
✔ Visitors feel more confident
✔ Your website looks more professional
✔ You reduce friction (and friction loses customers!)

If you’re not sure whether your email is easy enough to find on your site, I’m more than happy to take a look and point you in the right direction.

Sometimes the smallest tweaks make the biggest difference. 💛

Let’s talk about a tiny detail on your website that can make a big difference…
✨ Your social links.

You’d be surprised how many websites either hide them, forget them, or drop them right at the bottom where no one ever looks.
But your social links are actually a brilliant little trust-builder!

Here’s why they matter:

💛 They show there’s a real person behind the business
💛 They let visitors connect with you in a way that feels relaxed and natural
💛 They keep people in your world even if they’re not ready to buy yet
💛 They help you stay memorable (so they come back later!)

And here’s the best bit...
They take seconds to add — but can massively increase how many people stick around and follow your journey.

If your website doesn’t show off your social links clearly (or you’re not sure where they should go), I’m always happy to give you a bit of friendly guidance.

Little edits like this can make your website feel so much more connected and human. 💛

Let’s chat about something that can make or break how well your website converts…
✨ Your Service List.

When someone lands on your website, they need to understand exactly what you offer — quickly, clearly, and without having to dig around for answers.
But so many service pages leave people guessing… and that’s when potential enquiries slip away.

Your service list should confidently tell visitors:

💛 What you offer
💛 What’s included
💛 Who it’s for
💛 The benefits they’ll get

This clarity helps people instantly recognise whether you’re the right fit for them — and gives them the confidence to reach out.

When your service list is too vague, too complicated, or missing key details, people hesitate… and hesitation kills conversions.

But when it’s clear, structured, and written with your audience in mind?

✔ Visitors understand your value
✔ They trust you more
✔ They move closer to booking
✔ You get better, more aligned clients

This is exactly why I help business owners refine and rewrite their service pages — so their website does the selling for them.

If you’re not totally sure your service list is showcasing your offers in the strongest way, I’m always happy to take a look and guide you through improving it.

A few small tweaks can completely change the way people respond to your website. 💛

Just send me a message if you’d like help making your services shine.
