Websites

Hello and welcome, I’m Sarah and I have been creating, developing and maintaining vivid, attention-grabbing Google-ready websites since 2010.

I am based in Bournemouth and work primarily for small businesses, project teams and event organisers in and around Dorset and the south-west.

My aim is to capture the essence of a client’s personality – and that of their business – and portray it through their website content and design.

Sharing your personality online can help you create lasting relationships with the people who use your site, and can improve the bottom line of your business. It sets you apart from your competitors and helps you connect with an attentive audience. Once you have a visitor’s attention you need a clear sales message, good structure and user-friendly navigation, I do that for you too.

Please take a look around, check out some of the projects I’ve been working on recently, and if you think I might be the web designer your business needs, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

WORDPRESS WEBSITES

LANDING PAGES

From £395

ONLINE COMMUNITIES

From £895

In the realm of marketing websites a landing page is a standalone web page, distinct from a client’s main website, that has been designed with one objective in mind. It would usually have no link to the primary site in order to limit the options available to visitors, allowing them to focus on your intended conversion goal.

The Dolphin Quays Community website is for registered users only and most of the content is password protected. It does, however, include the Ultimate Member plugin, a Knowledge Base, Help Desk, and Blog, all of which provide a centralised, secure information resource for residents & tenants
