Let's Shout about your Impact
With a background in impact and evaluation (the subject of my PhD in fact), I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable achievements that often go unnoticed due to a lack of effective communication. It baffled me how little attention was given to showcasing and celebrating the incredible impact that was being created. The immense effort put into planning and measuring impact deserved to be recognised and celebrated.
This spurred me to to bridge the gap between impact and communication. I immersed myself in the world of graphic design and honed my skills in creating captivating websites. Building on my long-time hobby, I now specialise in impact communications, dedicating myself to helping organisations effectively convey their impact stories.
Impact communications takes many forms including developing websites to showcase projects, activities and impact, developing impact reports and narratives, liaising with trusted production associates to develop impact video stories, and curating impact-oriented social media content.
IMPACT COMMUNICATIONS
Eleven Accounts
A Wix improvement project to instil the new business branding onto the website of this Stockport based bookkeeping business.
Wix Editor
This site was design only. This means that the site owner or other party maintains it and may make changes that impact the design and function of the site. All sites are snag-free upon-completion and before handover.
"I couldn't have chosen a more perfect creative partner."
Wendleberry Marketing
A logo and website design for a Nottinghamshire based social media consultant. We loved the bright look that our client wanted and it helped us to get really creative with the look and feel of the site.

Military CoWorking Network
This Wix improvement project and retained support helped the project team to reduce admin time and quickly grow and nurture a 1000 strong membership. The project supports the spouses of military personnel to meet in coworking hubs and online. I built a desk booking system (for over 70 desks in 12 locations), members area, resources library and member-led business directory.

Past Work
UK Based Wix Expert
I have worked with Wix for over 13 years and am delighted to be an official Wix Legend partner. The highest level that there is. To reach this level, I had to demonstrate that I had built many sites and have had this portfolio reviewed (I've built and improved over 200 Wix websites!). I am a specialist in native Wix apps (such as Wix Bookings and Wix Stores), Wix SEO, and am able to code using Wix's Velo platform. I also build fully responsive sites using Editor X.
I offer a range of Wix improvement services for those in the Midlands and beyond. Including services to support website setup, credibility improvements, SEO and user experience.
Working with a Wix Partner unlocks a range of benefits - not only ensuring your site is well-built, but I benefit from priority Wix help and support and my own Account Manager who I consult with to stay at the leading edge of Wix functions.
WORKING ON A RANGE OF WEBSITE PLATFORMS
"She did an incredible job of making my website look and work brilliantly"
Improvement Expert
I help website owners to make their site look better and work harder and smarter. Here are some examples:
Working with National Forest E-Bike Holidays (Ashby De La Zouch, Leicestershire), I developed a content management system that helps this holiday provider to publish unique pages focused around their walking holidays. Within a few weeks of these pages going live, those service pages were seeing 4500 visitors over 30 days, 450% higher than their previous walking holiday pages against the previous period.
Working with a pet shop based in Burton upon Trent (Staffordshire), I improved the look and function of their entire site to improve consistency and credibility, improve their Wix SEO and the user journey. The results were evident just weeks later with a huge spike in sales (from around £500 per month to £3500-5500 as the graph here demonstrates).
IMPROVING EXISTING WEBSITES
"She took the basic Wix site I had created and made it look better than I could have imagined. Worth every penny."
Websites that shout about your impact.
Websites can form an important part of your impact communications. Not only can a website share more about what you do (awareness), but it can engage funders and beneficiaries and form part of your offer (for instance, offering resources).
It has become a lot easier to create your own website. However, time and time again I work with clients who have developed a site that looks like a nice front door to their business or project but it isn't converting, it isn't being found on Google and other search engines, and it isn't saving anyone time. This isn't helpful to your impact journey.
I am based on the Derbyshire-Staffordshire (close to Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote in the Midlands) border but work remotely across the UK.
