I'll be opening up my books again shortly as I return from maternity leave, so it felt like a good time to post a reminder of our full services menu ✏️

You can find out more about each service at:
www.coastcreatives.uk

or just drop me a message for more info!

Special mention / shoutout to myself for resisting the urge to entirely rebrand Coast Creatives and design a new logo during maternity leave... the temptation was REAL but also totally unnecessary 🙃

I can’t believe I haven’t opened my laptop since November 🤯

Mum life is as jam-packed as everyone said it would be (nothing or no one can prepare you for parenthood!) but I’m loving every single minute of it.

Being self employed and on maternity leave has really made me reflect on my career and appreciate the pro’s of being a freelancer while starting a family.

It also definitely comes with its own challenges (mostly financial thanks to statutory maternity pay) 🙃 but all worth it to spend quality time with my little Indie 🧸

The plan is still to return to work in the Spring / Summer - will be in touch with all clients as soon as I’m back and ready to hit the ground running 📧

Happy new year all! 🌟

I thought I’d spend some time reflecting on all of 2025’s projects as we enter 2026. Here’s what we got up to 👇🏼

💻 5 website builds
💻 7 website refreshes
🖋️ 6 SEO projects
👩‍🏫 26 hours of training delivered
🤝🏼 30 hours of coaching delivered
📝 16 copywriting projects complete
📧 12 email campaigns produced
📲 144 social media posts designed, developed and circulated
💴 £231,517 raised for charities and over £1.5mil in submitted (and pending!) applications through grants, trusts and foundations fundraising

And my proudest achievement… growing my baby girl 👣

I’m currently on maternity leave & plan to return to work in Spring / Summer this year - in the meantime remember to check out the freelancers directory on my website if you need support.

Hope you all had a fantastic festive period! 🪩

Maternity leave update 🍼

As you can see - I have a hitchhiker on board! We’re expecting a little girl in December and I’ll be logging off next week to start my maternity leave.

For support in the meantime, please check out the freelancer directory on my website, which has several personal recommendations for some brilliant freelancers who offer similar services to myself:

Hoping to return to work towards the end of Spring 2026, but will of course keep you all up to date when I’m back in action. Another huge thanks for all of the support so far this year!

Sooooo excited to start my most important role yet as Mummy 🥰

Another website launch complete 🚀

The team at Hautbois Activity Centre wanted to modernise their site, make it more user-friendly and easier for their team to edit the back-end.

26-pages later with SEO enhancements, and their new site is live.

We even managed to take their logo font and code it into the website, to make sure the design really encapsulated the Hautbois branding.

Thanks for choosing us as your web-designers! We really enjoyed this project. 🤸

I made a pledge at the start of the year to better track my new enquiries 👩‍💻

As we hit mid-June, I wanted to share my half-year findings with you all!

I'm fortunate to receive much of my work from existing clients and monthly retainers, but found it really interesting to look through data from my new enquiries...

I wish I would have done this 6 years ago when I first launched, as I remember lots of my new enquiries coming from Instagram back then, but it looks like there's been a real shift to Word of Mouth as I've become more established. 💭

Analysing your insights and analytics doesn't need to a feel like a boring tick-box exercise 🥱

Understanding trends can be pivotal in:

✅ Identifying the best ways to market your individual business
✅ Allocating time to areas where you repeatedly see a high return rate
✅ Predicting busy periods and better plan for when you might need some extra help

I've come up a step-by-step example of how to get the most out of your numbers, and how to truly understand the impact of your insights!

⭐ Funding opportunities for businesses, charities, social enterprises and community groups ⭐

I often work with organisations and founders who have lots of great ideas, plenty of passion and a real demand for their services, but need a little financial boost to really reach their goals...

While the grants and trusts climate is definitely a competitive one, we're fortunate to have a fair bit of support here on the Norfolk / Suffolk border! There's even a handful of businesses who give out small grants each year to support local charitable causes.

It can be hard to know where to start when researching grants, so I've come up with a short list to get you started - a quick Google of the funder's name should take you to their website, eligibility criteria and application details.

Hope it's helpful! 🤩

Last week we launched the Drama Mavericks sparkling new website to help this small but mighty CIC showcase their offering 🎭

The Drama Mavericks is performing arts company based in Norwich, hosting a variety of shows, modern writing, classes and workshops.

The team were after a contemporary-looking website to attract new members, raise awareness and sell tickets for upcoming shows. We turned around a design - from commission to launch - in less than a month, and went to the extra mile to train the team on how to edit the site themselves when they need to make small changes in the future!

Find out more about the Drama Mavericks and check out the website below:

Exciting news! 🎉

Really pleased to say I’ve been awarded a 3-year contract with Norfolk County Council as a Digital Advisor (freelance) through the Go Digital Programme!

I’ll be joining a talented pool of other advisors offering a range of digital skills as part of the programme.

If you’ve not already heard of Go Digital, it’s a brilliant scheme working with Norfolk-based organisations (micro and SME) designed to enhance digital skills - whether it’s IT software, digital marketing, CRM systems or learning how to attract more traffic to your website.

I can’t wait to get started & help small businesses thrive and grow 🚀

If you're a micro organisation or SME based in Norfolk, I'd really encourage you to check out the Go Digital website (you may also be entitled to a £500 grant as well as free advice!)
