Your Website

Web design for founders who don’t know what they want their website to do.
But do know that the current one isn’t doing it.

There are things that are load-bearing in your business; your website just hasn’t secured them, yet.

Someone finds you on Instagram, loves what you post, and clicks through to your website, which looks fine (ish). A portfolio, some information. But nothing that continues the conversation they already started with you.

Now, it may not be Instagram for you, but there are ways your people find you, ways you connect with them, that already work for you. So that’s where we start.

  • If your current site is great at attracting new visitors, we use that as a starting point and build the new one to nurture and convert them.
  • If your social media has lovely engagement, we find the right way to bring that home to your website.
  • If people only ever buy after a conversation with you, we build a site that gets them into that conversation faster, and use video and your own voice so you’re in the room with them without having to be on a call.

Before I found Jules, I had worked with three different website companies who didn’t really listen to what I wanted or the way I wanted my website to work. Jules is totally different. it was such a refreshing change to work with someone who actually listened

We untangle what you’ve already done and build on what is working for you.

Before we design anything, we dig into your business, your work, and your audience.

What you already have, what you’ve tried, what worked and what didn’t.

From there, we’ll know what you need. With proof, not guesswork.

If you’ve already done First Things First, we start with your floor plan.

I’ll never ask you to write a brief.

Instead, there’ll be a lot of questions, some guidance, some homework, and several virtual cups of tea.

What this untangling gives us

Everything else grows out of it.

  • You’ll get clear on how you want visitors to feel, which shapes the look and tone of the new site.
  • We’ll see what your audience needs to know, and when, and how they actually make their buying decision. This tells us what content is needed and where.
  • And once we can see the journey you’re guiding people on, we’ll know exactly what needs to be built.

“What I loved most was the time to think about my business, what it can offer, what it means to me and what we have achieved over the years. I hadn’t thought this would be part of the process and I found it incredibly affirming and uplifting.”

I’m Jules

Your thinking partner and co-creator

I’m here to guide, to spar, and to spark.

“Jules was part of my team, really interested and engaged in my project. We were working on a collaboration, rather than just paying someone to do a task for a fee.”

Then we build the site together, and I mean together: by the end you’ll know how Your Website works and why it’s built the way it is, so it stays yours long after I’ve gone.

“I was concerned about my lack of tech knowledge – that Jules would use terms I don’t know and I’d be embarrassed to say. This worry didn’t come true. Jules has a great knack for explaining a term or bit of kit without it feeling in any way patronising.”

A process as smooth as butter on warm toast

I’ve been a web designer for a long time, and I’ve watched projects like this grow into mountains. So we work to a timeline, and the timeline is what gets your site finished and live rather than sitting at 80% for a year.

  • 3 weeks of untangling, discovery, and ideas
  • 3 weeks of content (design, layouts, images, and copy)
  • 3 weeks of building, inputting your content, connecting, testing, and going live
  • and 1 week of snagging, security, and updates

Your Website, what you get

Deliverables: seven pages and your email marketing connected. Usually that’s Home, About, Services, a sales page, Contact, a thank-you page and a marketing page; a lead magnet sign-up, or the page you send people to from Instagram.

If the discovery shows you need more than that, we finish the foundations first, then schedule the rest when your budget and our calendars allow. And if you want bells and whistles like e-commerce or memberships, I do those too; just say.

Live sessions: We meet every week for an hour or two. Sometimes these sessions are where we untangle things and spark ideas off each other. Sometimes they are co-working sessions, where we both have our tasks but are on hand when we need each other.

Founder price: £2,000

Let’s talk about your site

Questions people ask

No, that’s very much the point.

No. Your Website starts with three weeks of untangling, so we find what’s carrying the weight together. If you have done First Things First, we start with your floor plan.

Usually, in about 1 month’s time. I only take on a small number of 1-to-1 website projects at a time, so each one gets finished properly. Get in touch, and I’ll tell you the next available start date.

It’s a proper co-creation, so you need to be available for about 4 hours a week, over the 10 weeks.

Weeks three, four and five are for exactly that. We’ll work out what’s needed, and I’ll help you get it written and sourced. You won’t be left staring at a blank page.

WordPress, using Kadence page builder and a premium template as the base. Yes, you can update it yourself; again, that’s the point of this service. You are part of the building of it, so you get hands-on experience, and you’ll never feel daft for asking twice. It’s also easy to hand it to someone else if you ever want to, so you’re not held hostage by me.

Via bank transfer in 3-instalments: a third as a deposit, a third at the end of week 5 and the final third in the 10th week.

I’m not VAT registered so yes.

Then don’t stretch for it. There are two other ways we could work together: a single thing, if there’s one specific job that would make the biggest difference to your current site, or First Things First, the six-week programme that starts in October and sorts out the thinking before you spend anything on a build. >

Sometimes, get in touch, and we’ll have an honest look.

I’m in Cornwall but I work with people everywhere.

Ready when you are

You don’t need to know what you want. You don’t need a brief, a budget spreadsheet or a Pinterest board. You just need to be fairly sure your current site isn’t doing it, and fairly fed up with not knowing why.

Let’s have that “everything” conversation.


No pitch, no pressure; I’ll ask a lot of questions, you’ll answer the ones you can, and by the end we’ll both know whether this is the right next thing for you. If it isn’t, I’ll say so, and probably point you somewhere better.
