Melissa went above and beyond to produce a website of the highest standard
“The new website visually is absolutely fantastic but more importantly it is user friendly, optimised well and the SEO is already working its magic. Almost instantly I was noticing more enquiries coming through the website.”

“I’m worried about the cost and hidden extras.”
Clear pricing, no surprise add-ons, and a straightforward payment plan.
Budget is a sensible concern. I’m very upfront about costs and scope before we start. You’ll receive a written proposal that sets out exactly what’s included and what isn’t, and anything additional is discussed and agreed before I do the work. I also offer a staged payment plan to help with cash flow, and because I focus on performance – not just appearance – I’m always thinking about return on investment rather than just spend for the sake of it.
Common worries (and how I handle them)
“Is SEO included in your small business website design?“
Every website and SEO project is built on strategy, search data and clear goals – not guesswork.
I don’t create websites just to look nice. With over 20 years of marketing experience, my focus is always on what the site needs to do for your business – attract the right people, guide them clearly, and encourage them to enquire or buy. That’s why strategy, SEO and conversion thinking are built into every project from day one. My case studies and testimonials show this in action – clients see more and better enquiries once their new site goes live.
“I’m not near Ludlow – can you still help me?”
I’m based in Ludlow, Shropshire – but I work with small business owners all over the UK.
Yes – location isn’t a problem at all. I’m based in Ludlow, but most projects are run via Zoom, email and shared documents, which means I can (and do) work with clients across the UK and sometimes beyond. The important bit isn’t where you are, it’s that we’re a good fit and that your business is ready for a website or SEO that genuinely supports your growth.
“Is my business too small / not ‘fancy’ enough for this?”
If you’re serious about growing your small business, you’re exactly who I built Wildcurrant for.
I specialise in small business websites and SEO. I work with all sorts of owners: solo founders, small teams, creatives, consultants and trades. Some are brand new to professional web design, others are on their third redesign. You don’t need to be “big” or glamorous; you just need to be ready for a website that finally works as hard as you do.
A great initial website created by Wildcurrant to start our business a couple of years ago.
We recently updated and expanded the site with Melissa’s help, guidance and savvy advice, and now have more customers and enquiries than ever! It’s definitely working for us.
She created a website that not only looks beautiful but also fulfils all the technical criteria we needed.
Melissa has helped enormously in the development of our fledgling business, by working tirelessly and expertly to rebuild our website and really make it work for us.
We contacted Melissa to help us design a new website for our new Luxury Holiday let.
Melissa listened to all of our ideas and was able to create the perfect website to help us showcase our property. Melissa thought of things that I hadn’t even considered.
