I can't relax in a messy house, and your visitors can't relax on a messy website.

Chaos (pop-ups, boxes, clutter) makes them leave. Tidy sites work.

It's not about adding more; it's about clearing away the mess.

Open your site on mobile now. What's the first clutter you need to clear away?

Got my nose pierced at 47. Added two new tattoos. Purple streaks next. I’m not here to grow old gracefully - I’m here to grow old disgracefully. Same with websites. The best ones don’t play it safe. They show up exactly how they mean to.

Everyone’s losing their minds over Taylor Swift getting engaged, and I’m over here rooting for Liz Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus.

I’m so invested I’ve already built their wedding website in my head… RSVP, gift registry, and colour scheme included.

You said I wasn't cheap. You paid me 20 pounds

I can spell until I can't...

A perfect example of this is the beginning of "You're Gorgeous" by BabyBird.

You know what I'm really good at though? Websites - lnkd.in/eu3X26Su

I’ve got a dirty little secret…

You’re way more likely to catch me blasting Nine Inch Nails than Rick Astley.

But when it comes to your website? I’m all Rick - no quitting, no letting you down.

Don't tell anyone, ok?

How to make a web designer cry in 3 seconds:

Log in. See 34 plugins.

You don’t need that many.

You never did.

You never will.

I guarantee it.

Ask me.

Your website will thank you for it.

WordPress dropped a Twenty Twenty-Five update. But if you’ve got a graveyard of old themes hanging around, bin the extras (keep 3 max). Back up first. Care Plan clients? You’re sorted already. I’ve done the nerdy stuff. littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/how-do-i-del...

They said "Can I just show you what I mean?"

Then they held up a drawing like it was a sacred scroll.

Three boxes and pure optimism.

I turned it into a reusable section that actually works. Like, on the internet.

Was asleep. Dreaming peacefully.

Then my brain yelled “move the button and burn the font!”

Now I’m wide awake, one sock on, tweaking a homepage I swore was done.

PS. I do website reviews: littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/website-revi...

Launched a new site a few weeks ago. The old one hadn’t been touched since 2010 - full time-capsule vibes. I dragged it into the present.

Booking now for October starts - if your site’s stuck in the past, let’s talk.

You know what’s a good idea? Customising your 404 page to match your brand.

You know what else is? Having your own links page on your website - fully branded, no third-party faff.

Don’t want to DIY it? I can do it for you - littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/want-your-ow...

Apparently it's National Zoo-Keeper Week… fitting, since the school hols just started. I can’t stop the kids going feral, but I can keep your website in line. One less chaos to manage. Want to keep your last thread of sanity? littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/wordpress-ca...

Told myself I was taking a long weekend off.

Lied straight to my own face.

Still need to write my newsletter for next Friday. No idea what’s going in it yet. Just vibes and chaos.

Had a call with a potential client who told me to f**k off.

His exact words? “F**k off and send me the invoice.”

One week later he had a shiny new website.

One page. Fully branded. £299.

In less than a week.

They spent all weekend trying to fix their site. By Sunday, they messaged me.

I fixed it.

They joined my WordPress Care Plan (with the out-of-hours add-on).

Next time? No panic. No drama. No lost weekend.

DIY-ing your site? I see you. It’s a lot. If something’s gone weird and you’re stuck - I can help untangle it. Here’s what a few people said after I helped un-f*ck theirs...

Me realising halfway through that I’ve overcomplicated things but now I’m emotionally attached to the chaos.

PS - Still using LinkTree when you’ve got your own website? That’s pure self-sabotage. Not even the fun kind - littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/want-your-ow...

Louise @websitewitch.bsky.social · Jun 9

Still “getting around to it”?
The domain’s bought. The tabs are endless. But the website? Not a thing.

One page. Branded. £299.
Choose from 3 layouts.
Live within a week.

No fluff. No calls. Just done.

Working on a new client site - still in progress but already a huge step up. Clear layout, easy to use, no page-builder bloat lurking in the background. Built to suit them, not a template. Full thing coming soon. Here's your sneak peek.

Got an email pitching web design—sent to my webdesign address. Asking if I want a website. That’s like offering guitar lessons to Slash. You don’t ask — you just know.

If you want a website that actually rocks, hit me up. 😉

Brands that blast rainbows in June then go radio silent the rest of the year? We see you. Pride isn’t just a box to tick - it’s being an ally all year round. Showing up for 30 days then ghosting? That’s window dressing, not support. Be real or step aside. 🌈

Louise @websitewitch.bsky.social · May 29

Some of you go from “we don’t take sides” to “love is love” so fast it gives us whiplash.

If the only queer thing about your brand is your June marketing plan, we’ve got questions.

And glitter won’t cover the smell. 🌈
