At Design & Write, we believe in doing good work for good people. We’re passionate about helping small businesses, solopreneurs, and purpose-driven organisations create websites that don’t just exist they work. Work to help you get found, build trust and grow in a way that feels right for you.
We don’t do quick fixes or cutting corners, just honest advice, thoughtful design, and websites built to last. If something’s possible, we’ll tell you. If it’s not, we’ll tell you that too. No bullsh*t, no jargon, just digital spaces that reflect who you are and what you stand for.
In my opinion every founder needs a sidekick. Enter Greg — the four-legged, tail-wagging, snack-loving heart of Design & Write.
Design & Write was born from my love of all things creative and my belief that great businesses deserve to be seen and heard. I’ve spent my career in sales, marketing, design and web, helping small businesses tell their stories, connect with the right people, and build brands they’re proud of.
Corporate life was never my thing (hence the photos in the woods and at the beach). I’ve always been drawn to small businesses, independent brands, and purpose-driven organisations — the ones who pour their hearts into what they do. The ones who want to make an impact, build something meaningful, and do things properly.
We believe in building brands and websites that feel good, do good, and last. And with Greg on board, we’re reminded every day to slow down, enjoy the process, and always keep treats on hand 🐾

We know the digital world can feel overwhelming: tech speak, empty buzzwords, agencies over-promising and under-delivering. That’s not how we do things. We keep the process straightforward, transparent, and collaborative, so you always know what’s happening, what’s needed, and what to expect next.
We work with a trusted network of creatives to ensure every project has the right people on it. We know your website is an investment so we make sure you get the right people for job.
Our values are at the core of everything we do:
We don’t believe in selling for the sake of it. If you don’t need a service, we won’t push it. If there’s a smarter way to do something, we’ll tell you. We focus on practical, effective solutions that actually work, not just ones that sound good.
No jargon, no overpromising — just honest advice and clear communication. If something’s possible, we’ll tell you. If it’s not, we’ll tell you. We believe in setting realistic expectations and building trust through openness.
A website is more than just aesthetics — it’s about functionality, accessibility, and long-term impact. We don’t do quick fixes or temporary solutions. Every project is built with care, purpose, and an eye on the future.
We work with businesses that care about their work, their people, and their communities. We believe in using design and digital tools to make a difference, whether that’s through supporting small businesses, ethical brands, or purpose-driven organisations.
Design & Write is not a solo act. While Claire leads the way, we bring in trusted experts for branding, copywriting, SEO, and photography — ensuring the best people are working on your project. No big agencies, no unnecessary layers, just the right team for the job.
We don’t build websites and walk away. Many of our clients stay with us for ongoing updates, new campaigns, and future iterations of their brand. We’re here for the long run, supporting your business as it grows.
If these values resonate with you, then we’d love to work together.
