Your supporters care about what you do. Your website, newsletters and campaigns should make it easy for them to act: to donate, volunteer, join, book or simply understand how you help.

I work with organisations that have big ambitions and finite budgets, and I focus on making every pound of design and marketing spend count.

Sound familiar?

  • Your website is hard to update, so important news and events go stale.
  • Your message is strong, but visitors can't quickly see how to get involved or donate.
  • Newsletters take too long to produce and don't look consistent.
  • Different people create different materials, and your brand looks patchy as a result.
  • You need a site that works well on a phone, meets accessibility expectations and still feels warm.

What I can do for you

Website design and development

Clear, accessible, mobile-friendly sites with simple content management, including shops, event listings and donation or membership journeys where needed.

Brand and consistency

Logos, colour palettes and simple brand guidelines so everyone in your organisation can produce material that looks right.

Social media and campaigns

Content and campaign design that tells your story and encourages supporters to share it.

Email newsletters

Templates your team can reuse, so each issue looks professional and takes less time to produce.

Print and event materials

Leaflets, banners, posters and stationery for fundraising events, open days and member communications.

Absolutely. Brand and branding gives your website direction and purpose.

Clear positioning, visual identity, tone of voice, and messaging make your website instantly recognisable and more effective at turning visitors into customers. Without it, even a beautifully designed website can feel disconnected.

It depends on where you are and where you want to go.

  • Starting out? Branding and website production are the essentials.

  • Growing your audience? Digital marketing and social media campaigns work best.

  • Refreshing your presence? Brand updates or creative campaigns could be the way forward.

We can help you map out the most effective mix for your business.

Yes. We can phase the work, starting with the most important pages or a single newsletter template, and build from there.

We take a tailored approach to every project, rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages. We’ll discuss your objectives, understand what you need, and ensure you know exactly what’s included and what to expect.

That’s the aim. I build sites with simple editing and offer training so people with no technical background feel confident.

Yes. Depending on your needs, I can integrate donation tools, event booking and online shops.

Accessibility is part of good design. I build with readable text, clear contrast and sensible structure, and I can discuss what level you need to meet.

Thoughts & Top Tips

AI is powerful, but knowing how to use it is what really matters
At Synthetic Egg, we see AI as a powerful tool. But a tool is only as useful as the person using it. And when it comes to creating effective websites, digital experiences and marketing materials, the difference between simply using AI and using it effectively can be enormous.

Is your website quietly losing you customers?
Most business owners assume their website is fine. It loads. It has their phone number. It looks roughly like it did when they launched. The problem is, "fine" was a passing grade in 2019. In 2026, it's a quiet drain on your revenue, and your competitors know it.
