Web design & digital support for small businesses

I help small and growing service businesses build websites that are clear, effective, and designed to support real business goals — not just look good on launch day.

​

Based in Ealing, West London, I work with clients locally and across the UK, acting as a long‑term digital partner rather than a one‑off designer.

For small businesses that want clarity, not complexity

You might be at the start of your business, or you might have outgrown a DIY or template site. Either way, you know your website should be doing more - attracting the right people, explaining what you offer clearly, and supporting your business as it grows.

 

I work best with small service‑based businesses who want:

  • A website that reflects where their business is going, not just where it’s been

  • Someone who understands their business and their customers, not just their brief

  • Ongoing support, advice, and improvements over time

  • If you’re looking for a cheap, rushed build or a large agency process, I’m probably not the right fit.

Web design, with strategy and support built in

I design and build websites grounded in UX and user-centred thinking, business understanding, and practical decision‑making.

A partner, not a supplier

I won’t disappear once a site goes live: besides 2 weeks of post-launch support, included in your site build, many of my clients work with me on an ongoing basis - refining messaging, aligning on and off-line marketing, improving SEO performance, and responding to new opportunities as their business evolves.

This means:
 

  • You’re not constantly re‑explaining your business to someone new

  • Your website grows with your business

  • You have someone to sense‑check ideas and identify opportunities
     

For many clients, I effectively act as part of their business - without the overhead!

Trusted by small businesses across the UK

I’ve worked with a wide range of small and growing businesses, helping them clarify their offering, attract the right audience, and build websites they can actually use and maintain.

Based in Ealing, working across London and the UK

I’m based in Ealing, West London, and regularly work with local businesses who value being able to collaborate with someone nearby. I also work remotely with clients across the UK and have considerable experience working internationally creating multilingual sites.
 

If you’re looking for a web designer who understands small businesses - and is easy to work with - you’re in the right place.

Let’s talk about your business

If you’re planning a new website, improving an existing one, or looking for ongoing support, I’d be happy to talk things through and see if we’re a good fit.

Michaela is absolutely fantastic. Coming from someone not extremely techie - she is the perfect dose of clever and informative whilst not talking tech jargon! Lovely to deal with and produces the most wonderful work. It is always a pleasure to catch up with Michaela.’
