Selected work, and the thinking behind it.

A closer look at the thinking behind recent projects: what the problem was, what changed, and why those changes and not others.

Case study

It’s About Love

The old website had plenty of personality and proof, but the message, the order of things and the next step were hard to find. The rebuild kept the warmth and gave it a structure a visitor can follow.

A photo collage behind the headline, and three small buttons competing for attention.

After

The new It's About Love home page, with one large headline on a maroon panel beside a wedding photo
One headline, one line about who it is for, and one obvious next step.

What changed, and why.

  • One clear message

    The offer and the personality now come first. Each page now says what it is for before it says anything else.

  • A deliberate path

    Services, pricing and proof now follow an order. Each section answers the question the one above it raises, so a visitor is never left deciding where to look next.

  • An obvious next step

    Calls to action are visible, specific and easy to reach, and they read the same way on every screen.

Who I work with.

The businesses I work with look different on the surface and work the same way underneath. A customer has a need, searches, compares two or three options, and makes contact. The industry barely matters. What matters is that the owner is the person doing the work, the enquiry landing is the result they actually care about, and there is no marketing department to hand any of this to.
