Power Hour

Go for it - Pick my brains!

● You don’t have to do it alone. Get an hours support on websites, branding, or freelancing with Angharad. 

● From creative branding ideas, to helping you set up your Google Workspace integrations - I can help you with those niggling problems that can really spoil an afternoon. 

WHAT’S COVERED IN A POWER HOUR?

As small business owners, we often need some support in bringing clarity, bouncing around ideas, or tackling a pesky problem where you simply need to get some help. I’ve been running my business now for 8 years, so I can bring knowledge, fun, and creativity along to a one-to-one session. My areas of expertise are:

● Digital Products & Systems

I can answer questions about Squarespace, Shopify, Flodesk, Google Workspace, Adobe Suite, Mailchimp, or Eventbrite. I’ve used them for years, and I’m an authorised Squarespace trainer - so you can bring a question or issue that’s bothering you, and I can show you the ropes. 

● Branding

I’m an experienced brand designer so I can help be a creative sounding board for throwing around ideas for naming, creative direction, concepts, or brand refinement.

● Websites

I can help sort your websites layout, CSS, provide suggestions on your content, or help you with creating new pages. If you have a longer wish-list of website fixes, I also have a Squarespace Tidy-Up Day which may be a better option for you. 

● Freelancing

Sometimes, it’s not a website-based problem but you want to ask advice on general freelancing. I’ve been doing this for a while now, and I can help answer your questions around how to get set up, manage clients, or anything else that’s on your mind.

What can I help with?

Here’s a handy list of everything that I can help with. 

You can treat it like a shopping list for your wish-list if you like. We can’t do everything in a day, but I can help you choose the key areas to focus on if you’re unsure. 

  • I can help tidy-up the design of your website. Is it consistent? Do you have design rules? Is it user friendly, too busy, or engaging enough?

    Do you have a brand but you aren’t sure how to apply it to your website? Or, do you question how to make it stand out or pop?

    In order for branding to work, it needs to be consistent and recognisable - and I can help with creative ideas to make your website look less DIY and more YOU.

    I can help with:

    • Overall website layout

    • Header / Footer design

    • Brand consistency and application

    • Section alignment/height/dividers

    • Creating page templates and saved sections for you to reuse

    • Buttons that stand out

    • Clear links

    • Custom fonts

  • There isn’t much point in having a website that looks great, but the content doesn’t work. You need to have the right flow, structure and user journey to drive action and results.

    I can advise on:

    • Content

    • Call to Actions

  • Once someone comes onto your website, you want them to DO SOMETHING. Be this by booking an event, buying a service or product, reading a report, or sharing their ideas.

    I can help with some marketing know-hows that makes your website work harder for your business, including:

    • Promotional Pop-ups

    • Announcement bar

    • SEO Appearance

    • URL Builder

  • Sometimes your website already looks great, sounds great, and has all the components you think you need - but it’s the more complex parts behind the scenes that you want support with.

    I can help with:

    • Custom CSS for requests beyond Squarespace’s

    • Page Settings - URL Slugs / page and title formats etc

    • Blog Page Settings and categories

    • Image optimisation

    • Forms & Newsletters

    • Linkups - Social Media / Newsletter / Domain / Google Analytics

    • SEO checklist

    • Setup URL redirects

    • Create a custom 404 page

    • Mobile site design

    • Billing setup (including 20% off your first year using my client discount code)

If you have something else in mind but you haven’t spotted it on the list - get in touch as there’s so much involved with websites that I have expertise in.

  • “Despite working in digital marketing, I am often completely flummoxed by the 'back end' of the platforms I use every day to support my business. When I got myself in a muddle between my Squarespace website and Google Workspace I spent hours trying to unpick the mess by myself. In the end I called on the services of Angharad who was absolutely brilliant - she was calm, efficient, tenacious and (importantly) did not once make me feel stupid for finding this stuff difficult. I know exactly who I will be calling the next time I need support (because there definitely will be a next time...)”

    Nicola Washington, Too Much Social

  • "I was feeling a little overwhelmed with a domain issue that I just couldn't get my head around. Angharad quickly presented a clear solution and helped me sort everything out. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders! It was so great to be able to use our Power Hour to quickly fix a problem that would have taken me days to figure out. Plus she is super friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Totally recommend this service."
