A logo is just one piece of the puzzle. If your branding isn’t consistent or doesn’t feel like “you,” it might be time for a refresh.

In this new blog, I talk about the importance of branding for small businesses—and how getting it right can help you stand out, build trust, and make everything you do feel more cohesive.

DIY websites are a great way to get your business online quickly.
But after working with dozens of clients who've outgrown theirs (or never quite nailed it), I’ve spotted the same issues popping up again and again.

👉 Confusing messaging
👉 Cluttered menus
👉 Walls of text
👉 Messy branding
👉 And a whole lot of mobile mayhem

Sound familiar? You’re not alone—and it’s all fixable.
I’ve written a blog that breaks down these 5 common mistakes—and how to fix them.

Your website might look great…
But is it actually helping your business grow?

In this quick carousel, I break down what makes a website work—not just in terms of design, but strategy, usability, and real-world results.
If your site is more of a “digital brochure” than a business tool, this is for you.

Just completed! Not happy to settle for a boring black vinyl bound diary or a basic Collins wall planner, this is the fourth year I’ve done a custom solution for Austin Bluewater. Always featuring a new image and customised layouts that suit their business.

What’s scary is that it’s that time of the year that I’m doing calendar work for the coming year! 😵‍💫

New website for Saddle4You! Sue had done a great job of building her business, and with limited technical skills she had created her own website to sell custom riding saddles to the New Zealand market. But she had outgrown her website and knew it was time to level up.

I conducted a review of all her existing content, gave her an updated colour palette & typography set and put the emphasis on engaging her customers where they can feel they're making an informed decision and guided along the way of their purchase.
