Behind the design is a person

Practical Web Design Rooted in 40 Years of Business

Smallsky Creative was started with one simple aim: to help small businesses look like good businesses online. I build clear, structured websites that support your work without being flashy or overcomplicated.

I do not come from a typical design agency background. I spent 20 years in International Sales and Marketing and another 20 years in Logistics and Distribution Management. During that time, I worked with businesses selling into over 60 countries, managing the commercial strategy and performance that keeps a company running.

That experience shapes everything I do. I do not just think about how a website looks. I think about who it is for, what it needs to achieve, and how it supports your wider business.

A Straightforward Approach

I have traded the corporate world for a more personal way of working. When we work together, you are not just getting a designer. You are getting someone who understands margins, customer journeys, and the importance of a job done properly.

  • No Layers or Jargon. You deal directly with me from start to finish. There are no account managers and no technical faff.

  • Built for You to Manage. I primarily build on Squarespace because it offers the right balance of reliability and ease. This allows you to manage your site confidently once we have launched.

  • A Long-Term Partner. A website should not be a one-off transaction. I do not "set and forget." I am here for the long run as your business evolves and grows.

Based in Warwickshire, Supporting the UK

I am based in Leamington Spa. I value a proper conversation, whether that is over a coffee locally or a video call with a client further afield. Either way, the focus remains the same: building a website that genuinely works for you.

Not quite ready for a conversation yet? I have compiled a list of common questions to help you understand exactly what to expect when we work together.
