Noodles. Yankee Candles. Witchy stuff. Website stuff. I'll come back and do a better job of this section later. Maybe.

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. Iโ€™m not here to grow old gracefully - Iโ€™m here to grow old disgracefully. Same with websites. The best ones donโ€™t play it safe. They show up exactly how they mean to.

Everyoneโ€™s losing their minds over Taylor Swift getting engaged, and Iโ€™m over here rooting for Liz Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus.

Iโ€™m so invested Iโ€™ve already built their wedding website in my headโ€ฆ 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

Youโ€™re way more likely to catch me blasting Nine Inch Nails than Rick Astley.

But when it comes to your website? Iโ€™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 donโ€™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 youโ€™ve got a graveyard of old themes hanging around, bin the extras (keep 3 max). Back up first. Care Plan clients? Youโ€™re sorted already. Iโ€™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 โ€œmove the button and burn the font!โ€

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

Launched a new site a few weeks ago. The old one hadnโ€™t been touched since 2010 - full time-capsule vibes. I dragged it into the present.

Booking now for October starts - if your siteโ€™s stuck in the past, letโ€™s talk.

You know whatโ€™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.

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 whatโ€™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? โ€œF**k off and send me the invoice.โ€

One week later he had a shiny new website.

One page. Fully branded. ยฃ299.

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. Itโ€™s a lot. If somethingโ€™s gone weird and youโ€™re stuck - I can help untangle it. Hereโ€™s what a few people said after I helped un-f*ck theirs...

Me realising halfway through that Iโ€™ve overcomplicated things but now Iโ€™m emotionally attached to the chaos.

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

Still โ€œgetting around to itโ€?
The domainโ€™s bought. The tabs are endless. But the website? Not a thing.

One page. Branded. ยฃ299.

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 designโ€”sent to my webdesign address. Asking if I want a website. Thatโ€™s like offering guitar lessons to Slash. You donโ€™t ask โ€” you just know.

If you want a website that actually rocks, hit me up. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Brands that blast rainbows in June then go radio silent the rest of the year? We see you. Pride isnโ€™t just a box to tick - itโ€™s being an ally all year round. Showing up for 30 days then ghosting? Thatโ€™s window dressing, not support. Be real or step aside. ๐ŸŒˆ

Some of you go from โ€œwe donโ€™t take sidesโ€ to โ€œlove is loveโ€ so fast it gives us whiplash.

If the only queer thing about your brand is your June marketing plan, weโ€™ve got questions.

And glitter wonโ€™t cover the smell. ๐ŸŒˆ

My son took his desk fan back. Iโ€™d been using it. A lot. (Thanks, heatwaves + perimenopause!) That fan = social media. Itโ€™s not yours. If it goes, what then? Get your own - aka a website. My one-pagers are quick, affordable, and yours. littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/starter-webs...

Been slack with scheduling posts. Coming up with them on the fly works - until a Care Plan client hits me with โ€œoi up, thereโ€™s an issue.โ€ That takes priority. So yeah, you get this half-baked post.

PS: I do WordPress Care Plans. Might be handy.

What do socks and websites have in common?

Nothing because I don't freak out if a website is back to front or squiffly. Socks though? I act like it's the end of the world and nothing will ever be right again. I just can't deal with it.

Things that make me go ๐Ÿคฎ:

๐ŸŸก Peeled bananas
๐ŸŸก "Touch base" or "circle back"
๐ŸŸก Mouth-open eaters
๐ŸŸก Pineapple on pizza
๐ŸŸก Butter full of toast crumbs
๐ŸŸก Rank milk
๐ŸŸก Mushy peas

Our house is stuck between Draculaโ€™s lounge and a farm shop cafe. One room at a time, we said. Easy, we said. Chaos, we meant. Unlike your home, your website canโ€™t have an identity crisis. New blog: littlenerdwebdesign.co.uk/what-is-cons...
