Hello, I’m Carly, a freelance web designer and developer based in the UK
After over four years building websites professionally, I've learned that a well-built website starts long before anything gets designed.
It starts with understanding your goals, your audience, and most importantly where your business is heading, not just where it is today. From there, I consider the bigger picture too: how you'll use the website once it's live, how it fits into your marketing plans, and what might need to change as the business grows.
Every website is built around the business behind it, designed to work well now and long after launch.
More about meI design and build bespoke websites for small and growing businesses, and offer brand photography to complement them. I also work with freelance designers and studios who need development support.
For businesses that need a website built around them
Whether you're starting from scratch, outgrowing your current website or ready for something that better reflects where your business is now, I'll work with you to create a website that's right for you.
Every project starts with understanding what the website actually needs to do. From the structure and design through to the technical build and what happens after launch, the approach is shaped around the business.
Includes: A bespoke website, designed and built from scratch with the right structure, functionality and approach to managing your website after launch.
Who it's for: Small and growing businesses looking for a professional, custom-designed website that's built around how they work and where they're heading.

Your designs, built properly.
Development support for freelance designers and small studios who want a reliable developer they can trust with the build. I work from your designs, bring technical thinking where it's useful, and keep communication clear throughout.

Who it's for: Freelance designers and small studios who have the design covered but need someone to handle the development.

Professional brand, lifestyle and interior photography, planned and photographed with your website and wider marketing in mind.
For web clients, photography can be considered as part of the website project, so the imagery, design and overall feel work together from the start. Photography is also available as a standalone service for businesses looking to kick-start or refresh their visual content.
Includes: Brand, lifestyle and interior photography, professionally edited and delivered ready for use across your website and social media.
Who it's for: Web clients who want photography planned alongside their website, as well as businesses looking for standalone brand, lifestyle or interior photography.

( Clients I’ve worked with )
From retreat brands and counsellors to play cafes and music promoters, I've worked with businesses across a wide range of industries.
Some projects start with a strong brand while others start with a blank page. Some need to do a lot behind the scenes, while others are intentionally simple.
What they all now have in common is a website built around their unique needs. Take a look at some of those below.

Her approach was strategic and systematic ensuring the website layout and functionality was user friendly and future proofed. A pleasure to partner with, I can't recommend Carly more highly!
- Coleen
( Custom Website )
I had the pleasure of working with Carly to create my new photography portfolio website, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She understood exactly the clean, minimal, and professional look I had in mind and brought it to life perfectly.
The process was smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a beautifully designed website that reflects their style and work. Thank you Carly!
- Frederik
( Custom Website )
A massive thanks to Carly for building me the most beautiful website. As a complete beginner with zero tech knowledge not only did Carly get my vision from the beginning but she brought it to life in the most stunning way. I run wellness retreats, Avandra Escapes, and my guests find it so easy to use the platform to book and access all the information they need to ensure the journey from booking to arriving at any of our locations is seamless.
I cannot recommend Carly enough.
- Niki
( Custom Website )
I felt she really took the time to listen, and created such a beautiful website for us. She helped us pick the best booking system and has since helped us update and amend things to make them work better for us as we grow as a company.
I would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a modern take on how websites should be done. Thank you Carly!
- Rebecca
( Custom Website )
I was looking for a bespoke website to showcase my photography portfolio along with creating a professional online point of contact for my clients.
I had looked at some of the 'off the shelf' template style sites and struggled to find something that really allowed full creative control. Carly worked with me in a friendly, professional manner to bring my vision to life and I am really over the moon with the final outcome.
Another positive for me is the direct support from Carly as I grow the website and assurance that as I need further technical help I have her to walk me through.
- Paul
( Dev Partner )
She’s an amazing developer and whenever faced with a challenge she was able to come back with a solution. Carly was also able to push the limitations of Shopify and create custom sections and code which really took the website to a new level.
Always responsive and quick, I can’t fault Carly. Would really recommend her services and would love to hire her again.
- Cordelia
