I set up SideKick Websites because I kept seeing amazing people doing brilliant things – launching small businesses, creative projects, or side hustles – but getting totally stuck when it came to building a website.
Most didn’t want (or need) a fancy, expensive site. They just needed something simple, professional, and done – without tech stress or ongoing costs.
So that’s what I do. I help you (and your business) show up online. And I love doing it 🧡
I'm a geek to the core: I built my first website aged 17 by teaching myself to code, before that was even really a thing. Thankfully, technology – and my skills – have come a long way since 2001.
This means I can take care of the tech, so you can focus on doing what you do best.
I'm an aspiring children's author and illustrator. I'm a fitness instructor and ran classes in the community through the Covid pandemic. I'm part of the founding team of an online learning company in higher education.
In other words, I know what it feels like to start something new - and how overwhelming it can be trying to make it visible online.
Whether you’re a personal trainer, independent mortgage advisor, tutor, community group leader, independent travel agent, dog walker, children’s author, yoga instructor, nail tech... or in fact anyone who needs a simple site that tells the world who you are and what you do...
...I’ve got you!
This is me in Norway in 2024, where the SideKick 'Gifted Websites' idea was born.
I live in York with my dog Cookie. Yes, she's the cutest.
Here are a couple of recent websites I’ve built using Google Sites – clean, simple, and designed to help small businesses show up online with confidence.
A soothing, minimal site for a brand new premium natural nail service, focused on building trust, showcasing services, and making bookings easy. The calm, neutral palette reflects the in-person experience, while the layout keeps things clear and welcoming.
A friendly, professional site for an independent mortgage advisor, designed to feel approachable and informative. Built to communicate trust and transparency, with easy access to services, contact details, and regulatory info.
Calm and confident.
That’s how you’ll feel once you’ve got one less thing on your plate - like how on earth do I get a good website that celebrates what I do?
Ready to Get Started?
And that’s me: happily geeking out over brand colours, fonts, images, SEO, domains, and writing clear, friendly text that sounds like you.
(Though let’s be honest, I rarely wear dresses.)
