Strategic Squarespace website designer and marketing Consultant for established small businesses
Hi, I’m Shannon.
I rebuild websites for established small businesses whose website no longer reflects the business they've built.
You're good at what you do. Really good. Your reputation, your clients, the standard of your work — all of it has grown into something worth being proud of. But your website is telling a different story. And in the moments that matter most — when a potential client looks you up, when a decision-maker checks you out before signing, when an opportunity lands and someone does their homework — that gap between how good you actually are and how you appear online is costing you the room.
That's exactly the problem I solve. I rebuild your website properly in Squarespace — so it finally reflects the business you're actually running. So the next time someone looks you up, what they find matches what you deliver.
Working with you directly, start to finish.
Strategic Website Rebuilds
A complete Squarespace rebuild — commercial, strategic and visual — built around where your business is heading, not where it's been. Most projects relaunch within 6 to 8 weeks.
What’s included:
Strategy | Before anything is designed, we get clear on what your website needs to say, who it needs to reach, and how it needs to work. Discovery, brand direction, site structure and messaging — all shaped around the business you're building and the clients you're ready for.
Design and development | Squarespace design and full development — so your site doesn't just look right, it works properly. Every detail considered. SEO foundations built in from day one so the right people can find you on Google.
Launch and handover | Full migration from Wix, WordPress or GoDaddy. Integration of bookings or payment systems. And handover training if you'd like to manage the site yourself — or I can continue handling updates for you.
Projects are priced based on scope. Most clients invest between £3,000 and £5,000. Get in touch — I'll give you a clear idea of what your project would involve.
What happens when the website finally matches the business

For a print magazine ready to grow in the digital world:
"Shannon doesn't just design websites — she thinks commercially. She helped us refine our positioning, improve how we communicate with advertisers, and build a platform that genuinely supports growth. Since launch we've attracted more advertisers, strengthened key partnerships, grown our email list, and we're exploring expansion into Ipswich and Norwich. I'm genuinely proud to share it everywhere." — Graham, Editor, Over The Edge Magazine

For a clinic owner who needed her website to work as hard as she does:
"Shannon helped me develop a more functional website and got it appearing on search engines. My client base has grown thanks to the work she's done. And when I had an idea for a second business, she helped me bring it to life too. I couldn't have done it without her." — Carla Pooran, Founder and Owner, SkinRenewal and 40+ Skin Bootcamp

For a salon owner expanding beyond 1:1 services:
"It's like my dream website. You've thought of everything. I feel so proud of it." — Alex, Founder, The Studio by Alex
Ongoing Strategic Support & Marketing Consultancy
Most businesses pour everything into getting the website right — and then go quiet. No new content. No SEO growth. No strategy for what comes next. The website that was supposed to open doors starts to stand still.
That's where this comes in.
I work with a small number of clients on an ongoing basis as a trusted strategic partner — someone who knows their business deeply and helps them keep moving forward.
In practice that looks different for every client. It might be identifying new website pages and content hubs that grow their SEO, planning and writing blog content that gets found on Google, helping them repurpose that content across email and social media, refining their messaging as their offering evolves, or simply being the experienced outside marketing voice that helps them decide where to focus when everything feels urgent.
Some clients need thinking. Some need thinking and doing. Either way, everything is led by strategy — not just keeping busy.
I've spent the best part of a decade working in marketing, both in-house and at agency level, progressing to Assistant Director. I'm the founder and editor of High Flying Design Magazine. I know what moves small businesses forward — and what just keeps them busy.
Available by enquiry. Get in touch if it sounds like what you need.
I'M OFTEN ASKED
I'M OFTEN ASKED

Yes, exclusively. I specialise in Squarespace website design and development for small businesses across the UK. It gives my clients a flexible, professional site they can manage easily after launch without relying on developers long-term.
-
Yes. If you're not sure whether your website needs a redesign, or just some strategic direction, a website audit is a good place to start. I'll review your current site and give you a clear, honest picture of what's working, what isn't, and what needs to change. Get in touch to find out more.
-
Yes. While most of my work involves rebuilding existing sites, I also design and build new Squarespace websites for businesses that want to launch with clarity and structure from day one.
-
Absolutely. Some clients come to me specifically for ongoing marketing consultancy and strategic support — helping them grow their website, develop their content strategy, refine their messaging, and make clearer decisions about their marketing as they grow. No rebuild required.
-
No. I'm based in Essex but work with clients throughout the UK. If you’re looking for a Squarespace website designer in Essex or anywhere across the UK (or the US), I’d love to hear from you.
