Why websites get stuck

It's never just "make a website".

It's a hundred small decisions, and each one takes longer than it should.

What goes on the homepage? How do I describe what I do? Does this sound like me? Which photos, and where do I find them? Do I need a logo? What would it even be? What colours and fonts feel like me? One page, or lots? Should I have a blog, and who will keep it going? What size do the images need to be? How will anyone find me on Google? Do people book, pay, or just get in touch? and plenty more

No wonder it's been on the list for a year.

In the past, this meant days and days of work: hunting through free image libraries, trying layouts, rewriting the same paragraph about yourself again and again. That's usually where people stall, and it's exactly the part AI now speeds up.

What AI changes

From blank page to a real draft, fast

Your words

Words that sound like you

We work on the wording together, using AI to draft, debate and refine headlines, page titles and your story until it sounds like you on a good day.

Your look

Layouts you can see

Instead of describing a design, you see working prototypes: homepage layouts, colour palettes and font pairings, ready to react to in hours rather than weeks.

Your images

Images that fit

AI-generated images and logo ideas made for your brand, alongside your own photos, all sized and optimised so the site stays quick.

What doesn't change

A beautiful site still takes conversation.

AI gets us to a first draft quickly. Making it feel like you takes both of us. I'll keep checking in on what you love, what isn't quite right and what you'd change, and we go round as many times as it takes for the words, the homepage and the look to feel right.

Feedback can come however suits you. One client clicked through each page recording short voice notes as she went, and I worked through them between our chats.

Questions I'll keep asking

Does this sound like you?
What do you love here?
What makes you wince?
Who are you hoping will find this?

How it works

Two I've built recently

Gabriella Angus · NADA & Reiki training

A professional home for a training practice

Gabby needed a site for her NADA and Reiki training and one-to-one work. We started about a year ago, when AI was far less capable: lots of back and forth trying to get it to find her voice, on the wording, the page titles and the homepage, and image generation wasn't really there yet. She sent feedback page by page as short voice recordings, and I worked through them between sessions.

By our last session, everything had changed. With her site connected directly to Claude Code, we spent one day together, cleared a long list of small issues and bugs within a few hours, and put the site live that same day. She didn't want online payments, people simply get in touch, so we kept it simple.

Conscious Sexuality · coaching & events

A deep, content-rich site, built and run with AI

A much bigger site for a coaching practice: a growing library of articles, events and press pages, with images created using AI. I built it and run it with AI, including a bespoke plugin that tells Google exactly what each page is about.

Who you'll be working with

Hello, I'm Melanie.

I've been setting up websites alongside databases and systems for most of my 30-year career, for organisations of every size and for one-person businesses. These days I build with AI, which is how a small business can get a site that's beautiful, findable and genuinely theirs without it taking months.

I'm patient, I explain things in plain English, and I won't leave you with something you're scared to touch.
