You run such a great business.

Someone hears about you. Then they check you're legit. If your Google profile, website or social don't back that up, you lose them — before they've even made an enquiry.

Website Design & Maintenance

Without a website, customers just don’t believe your business is legit. My tailor-made pages don’t just make you look your best, they also prove you’re trustworthy, reliable, and easy to get in touch with.

Search Engine Optimisation

SEO is about teaching search engines why your business deserves to be seen first. With professional blog posts that show off your expertise, both Google and AI will know you’re the best on offer.

Social Media Marketing

Forget figuring out what will make you go viral - it’s not what you set up your business for. Let me take over your socials, posting content that doesn’t just get clicks, it gets new clients too.

Trust me, I’ve been there…

Running a small business is a lot. You’re juggling a hundred things at once — and somehow, you’re supposed to post on Instagram five days a week as well.

You know what you do is great. But actually putting it out there? Cringe. Becoming an influencer is not what you started a business for. Not to mention a waste of your time.

But I can help. I’ll create an online presence you can actually be proud of, without embarrassing videos of you ‘yapping’.

With a background in journalism and social media, and a master’s degree in Creative Writing, I know how to find good stories, shape compelling messages and capture people’s attention.

Together, we can create content that’s thoughtful, interesting and most importantly, human.

So if you’re feeling stuck and ChatGPT isn’t getting you past 200 views, get in touch — I’ll give you the lift you need.

CUSTOMER REVIEW

Joanne, Eden Beauty

I had Rosie design a website for my beauty business. I didn’t really know what I wanted when I first spoke to her, but she somehow managed to design a whole brand, a website and all the wording exactly as I imagined in my head - maybe even better. I absolutely love it, and it’s made me feel so confident when I tell people about my work.
