About the studio

Just me, a laptop, and a big soft spot for local business.

Happy Go Creative started with a simple, slightly stubborn idea: the bakery on the corner deserves a website just as good as the big brands. So here I am, designing every pixel myself, fueled by coffee and the belief that good design should not be reserved for companies with fancy boardrooms. When you work with me, you get me: the person who answers your emails, picks your fonts, and genuinely cares whether your site brings in more customers.

No agencies, no handoffs, no jargon. Just a friendly process, honest advice and a website you will actually be proud to share.

  • You deal directly with the designer, start to finish
  • Every site is custom, never a template
  • Built for phones first, because that is where your customers are
  • Training included, so you can update it yourself

How it works

From first chat to launch day.

A simple four step path. Most sites go from hello to live in four to six weeks.

01

Say hello

We chat about your business, your customers and what the new site needs to do. Free, friendly, no obligation.

02

Design the look

You get a first design to react to within two weeks. We tweak it together until it feels exactly right.

03

Build and write

I build the site, help with the words, and make sure Google can find you. You watch it come together on a private link.

04

Launch and learn

We go live, I show you how to update everything yourself, and I stay around for anything you need after.

Good questions

Things local owners usually ask.

How much does a website cost?

Every project is quoted after our first chat, because a five page site for a cafe is different from a full rebrand and shop. You will always get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

How long does it take?

Most sites launch in four to six weeks from the first design. If you have a deadline, like an opening day, tell me early and we will plan around it.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. Every site comes with a personal walkthrough and simple guides, so changing a photo, a price or a page takes minutes, not a support ticket.

Do you work with businesses outside the area?

Local businesses are the heart of the studio, but I happily work with anyone who wants a site with personality. Everything runs smoothly over calls and email.
