Stunning strategic websites that hustle so you don’t have to
For online service businesses that want to be visible without being on all the time. Who want to be known as the authoritative expert in their sector.
Gentle visibility for sustainable growth using SEO, design and strategic messaging.
Ready to stop wasting time chasing online trends and work towards gentle visibility?
You don’t need another visibility course or to follow another online coach who promises to know the latest trends.
What you need is to utilise the very tool that people forget to leverage.
Your website.
Through search-optimised content, you can strategically position yourself as an expert.
If you want to say goodbye to social media, you can.
If you need to take a month off, you can.
If you need to hit that next financial level goal, you can.
Your website will continue to work hard and draw in leads from Google. And not with spammy keyword tactics either, but intentional content that sounds like you.
Your website should be giving you leads, bookings & sales
Your website is the foundation of your business. Branding, visibility, strategic lead generation and sales. It doesn't ever disappear! It’s dependable.
Not like that heartfelt social media post you wrote that got two likes, responsible for your weekly meltdowns of ‘that’s it! I’m shutting it all down!’
The question is - do you want to get sales and leads from your website while sipping coffee, curled up with your favourite book?
Or when your child is sick? Or your energy is so depleted that you’d rather stick a fork in your eye than ‘show up’ on social media.
Three words.
Search Engine Optimisation.
This is gentle visibility combined with strategic expert positioning that you can get ahead of in 2026. Because people are still fighting over social media, they’ve forgotten about the power of websites.
5 blogs you need to get found in Google
If there were just 5 blogs that could give you keyword-rich, authority-led content for your website to get you to page one of Google, I would choose these 5.
Easy to write as they’re all based on your expert subject matter
Positions you as an expert
Answers your audience’s most pressing questions
Works for all niches and sectors
Is it really possible to have it all?
To hire an SEO expert who actually delivers authentic content without scraping ChatGPT despite their promises that it’s ‘all them'.
To trust a website designer and SEO content writer to listen to your brief instead of ghosting you the moment you ask a question.
Yes!

Meet Sam
Not your ordinary marketer
I’m Sam, founder of Page One Studio. An expert marketer with a geeky knowledge of SEO, who loves design, dreams about vintage wallpapers and devours fantasy fiction like it’s a sport. Located halfway between Stamford and Peterborough on the Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire border.
I understand that not everyone has the time or energy to be ‘on’ and market their business 24/7. As a carer and ADHDer, I need my marketing to support ME and my business. This is where websites come in.
We need to get over this myth that there is only one way to grow and market your business. Energy smart marketing is where it’s at with one of your most versatile assets, your website.
Some of my clients pull over 6 figures a year without social media, getting 95% of their leads from their website. Coaches, consultants, trainers; solopreneurs like you.
As a professional writer who is trained in design, I pulled SEO into my remit, and the result is remarkable. Expert positioning with a gentle marketing strategy, giving you the competitive advantage.
Trust me when I say - people are not putting time and money into their websites anymore, and it shows. Do this, and you’ll instantly be the obvious choice not only for your dream clients, but through AI recommendations too.

Think SEO is for big brands? Or that it’s impossible to compete. Trust me, nothing is further from the truth!
My clients have ranked above big websites including the government.
If you have a website, you have a golden opportunity to attracts leads through Google no matter your size.

Good question! My values are rooted in inclusivity and accesibility. I might tweak a few bits of CSS here and there to make things easier for screen readers, or advise on you inclusive language.
When it comes to design, I value succinct and clear over messy and chaotic. Your audience’s experience needs to feel good, look good, and make it super easy for them to find exactly what they need.
Qualified to degree level in digital marketing with the Chartered Institute of Marketing, I bring a ton of marketing expertise to the table. Not just pretty websites and clever SEO but lead generation and strategy too.

I usually need at least 30 days notice to start a project - longer if I’m booked up in advance or operating a waiting list. Project lead time then varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. Website design takes between 5-6 weeks from onboarding. Check out my service pages for more details.
