Most websites are just a digital business card. Most AI advice is just noise. I fix both.
Based in Lymington, working across the New Forest, Hampshire and Dorset.
From design to strategy, everything your business needs to thrive online.
Most businesses need a fast, clean site that brings people in.
Some need something that actually runs their business.
I build both. Here's how to tell which one you need.
From £1,500
For most small businesses, tradespeople, consultants and local services.
A fast, mobile-first site that explains what you do, builds trust and makes it easy to get in touch.
Includes:
Best for Businesses that need a strong online presence, not custom software.
From £4,000
For businesses that need their website to do more than build trust.
It can take bookings, manage logins, handle payments or run on your own data.
Includes:
Best forBusinesses where the website is the business — booking systems, member portals, custom dashboards, anything with logins or payments.
If a plugin would normally handle it badly, this is the option that handles it properly.
Less admin. More time for the work that pays.
AI doesn't need to be complicated or scary. I set up practical automations that take repetitive jobs off your plate, explained in plain English, with no hype. I use them in my own business every day.
When you can't get to the phone, an automated answering service picks up, asks what the caller needs and sends you a summary. You call back knowing exactly what they want.
Opening times, prices, "do you do…?" A website chatbot answers your everyday questions instantly, day or night, and passes real enquiries straight to you.
New enquiries get a friendly reply straight away, and follow-ups go out on time without you remembering to send them.
Booking reminders, review requests, and getting details from one system into another. If you do it again and again, it can probably be automated.
See it for yourself: the assistant in the corner of this page is one I built. .
Where a ready-made tool does the job, I'll set it up and connect it to how you already work. Where it doesn't, I'll build something that does. Either way, I'll tell you honestly what's worth automating and what isn't.
Start with a one-off check, or let me keep working on it every month.
From £395
A one-off check of your website, with a clear list of what's holding it back.
Includes:
Best for Businesses whose website isn't bringing in enquiries and who want to know why before spending more.

From £395 a month
Steady work every month on the things that move you up the results.
Includes:
Best for Local businesses ready to give it a few months. Minimum 3 months, then month to month.
I don't promise page one. I show you what changed each month.
Set it up properly once, then keep good reviews coming in.
From £195
Your Google Business Profile set up properly, so you show up on Maps with everything a customer needs.
Includes:
Best for Businesses with no profile, or one that was set up years ago and left.
One-off fee. Add Review Care any time.
From £95 a month
Every review answered, and a steady flow of new ones.
Includes:

Responsive web design with integrated booking system for performing arts school in London.

You'll always know what's happening, what it costs and why I'm doing it.
01
Tell me about your business and what you want to improve.
02
I turn that into a clear plan — what's actually wrong, why it's costing you, and what it'll take to fix properly.
03
Once you're happy with the plan, I build and test it before handing it over to you.
04
After launch, keep it as it is, or keep it improving with an ongoing aftercare plan — regular updates, fixes and support so it doesn't go stale.
I built my first website in 2007, at my kitchen table, with two small children and a very expensive copy of Dreamweaver. I taught myself every line of code one evening at a time, and I've been hooked ever since.
I'm a quiet problem solver at heart. Give me a messy setup or a tricky idea and I'll happily dig in until it works. The Digital Day Dream is me putting years of building my own online businesses to work for yours, from websites and SEO to AI automation.
