Affordable web design for small businesses that does more than look good.
You've got a website but you're not sure it's actually bringing in customers
You're still using a free landing page or a basic site that doesn't feel like you
You built it yourself when you started and it's been quietly embarrassing you ever since
You want something professional but you can't afford agency prices
If your website exists but enquiries are still as quiet as a Tuesday morning, it's probably not doing the job it's supposed to do.
A good website isn't just a digital business card. It's your hardest-working team member — one that answers questions, builds trust, takes bookings, and brings in customers at 2am while you're asleep.
The problem is, most small business websites are built to look nice. Not to convert. And there's a big difference.
Sound familiar?
If you nodded at any of those — you're in the right place.
WHO IS THIS FOR:
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET:
A website that works as hard as you do
I design bespoke websites for small businesses across the UK, built around what your business actually needs, not a template that sort of fits.
That means:
A site that looks professional — so potential clients trust you before they've even made contact
A site that's built to convert — clear messaging, smart structure, and calls-to-action that actually work
A site that's easy to find — every website I build is SEO-optimised from the ground up, so you're not invisible on Google
A site that works on mobile — because most of your customers are browsing on their phones
A site you can actually use — I build on platforms like Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, and Hostinger, and I'll show you how to manage it yourself
No jargon. No handover that leaves you more confused than when you started.
CASE STUDY: Real example: From chaotic inbox to automated bookings
Kat is a psychotherapist. She's brilliant at her job — clients love her — but her online presence wasn't matching the level of care she provides.
She had a basic landing page, and the admin was quietly eating her alive. Scheduling appointments meant endless back-and-forth emails, and because there was no upfront payment system, she was regularly losing money to no-shows and cancellations.
She came to me wanting something more professional. Something that actually reflected the quality of her work — and stopped the quiet chaos running in the background.
I built her a Squarespace website with Acuity Scheduling integrated and Stripe payments set up — so clients can book and pay for their appointment directly through her website. No more scheduling ping-pong. No more unpaid no-shows. Kat doesn't have to lift a finger.
Within the first week, Kat's clients were already telling her how much easier the new booking system is to use. Not prompted. Just people noticing the difference and saying so.
Kat put it better than I ever could:
"Ellie at Just Thrive Marketing has supported the development of my shiny new website and I couldn't be happier with it. She remained patient, supportive and full of professional ideas and suggestions the whole process to help me create a website for my business that I am proud of and will streamline work for me and make the booking experience better for my clients. Best money I have spent on my business and would recommend her to anyone!" — Kat Cuthbert
A website that does the admin, protects her income, and gives her the professional credibility she deserved from day one.
That's what a good website can do.
