Is your business delivering results online?
Helping ambitious non-tech startups, small businesses, entrepreneurs and freelancers thrive online.
What I can help with
You may need some practical help, feedback and advice, however, hiring another senior team member with relevant online experience is out of the question for many business owners. If there’s a decision to be made or a challenge to overcome there’s often no one to talk to and the buck stops with you; this is where I can help.
I have 25+ years’ experience of founding, scaling and running online businesses and can offer an affordable supporting role for entrepreneurs, freelancers and inventors. Help can be provided on a flexible part-time basis, remotely or in person.
I can be available to provide support and advice in various areas such as decision-making, business growth and scaling, sales and business development (increasing online leads, signups, subscriptions and sales), digital marketing, website troubleshooting, website design, copywriting, website management and the development of online strategies. Additionally, I can use my knowledge and experience to provide insights and recommendations. Acting as your right-hand I can be a problem-solver across your business ensuring that your vision and goals are implemented online. Working with someone who has actually founded, scaled and run online businesses could help you meet your growth targets and set you apart from your competitors.

Highly experienced
I have 25+ years’ experience of founding, scaling and running online businesses. I’ve probably been through whatever it is you and your business are going through now. If you need some help, hire someone who has actually been a founder and has real experience of what it takes to succeed online.
Solving your challenges
Time is taken to understand your challenge(s), get to know what really matters to you and what’s important to your business. Understanding what makes you tick is key to being able to help. The aim is simple – to help solve whatever challenge you’re facing in the easiest and most cost effective way.
Expert in website conversions
Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) may not sound particularly exciting, but it can generate the biggest return from the smallest investment. If your website isn’t converting enough of its traffic to sales, you need to find out why, and fast.
Straight-talking and jargon free
I won’t try and bamboozle you with jargon – I understand the buzzwords, so you don’t have to.
Collaborations
Experienced in teaming up with other businesses who are leaders in their field, and who can offer expertise to complement my own.
Who do I work with?
I work with startups, small businesses, entrepreneurs and freelancers. I typically work with people who are ambitious and keen to improve and grow their business. I only take on projects I’m passionate about.
I specialise in helping ‘non-tech’ businesses, but what does that mean? It’s open to interpretation, but for me it means businesses whose products/services are not digital, but who sell and market themselves online (or want to).
Examples include, indie brands; food and drink; ecology, environmental and sustainability; creatives, artists, makers, artisans; freelancers; charities; outdoors products; coffeeshops and restaurants; dog food/products; therapists, wellbeing … you get the idea.
Pricing
You won’t find any Bronze, Silver, Gold packages here – they just don’t work for my services. Virtually all businesses are unique, business owners are unique, challenges vary and every business has different goals, plans and aspirations.
Therefore, rather than shoehorn you into a pre-packaged service, I charge a straightforward hourly fee of £45/hr (min booking, 2 hours).
