What is swapps?
It's a new, creative idea where I exchange my skills & experience in creating professional websites, branding, social media and promotional video for things or services of equal value, instead of money. No invoices. No pricing games. Just a fair 'swapp'.Starting a swapp is really straightforward.
Tell me what you or your business needs - whether that’s a website, social media content, log & branding or video (or all of them!) - and then outline what you can offer in return. it's good to be as clear and realistic as we can about the value of what we’re both bringing. From there, we’ll have a friendly conversation to agree a fair exchange that works for both of us. Once that’s in place, we move forward with a clear plan and no surprises - just a professional piece of creative work, swapped for something genuinely worthwhile.I’m less interested in like-for-like creative swaps and much more interested in things that are genuinely useful, practical or simply enjoyable in real life. That could be anything from skilled trades - gardening, cleaning, property maintenance etc to experiences, hospitality, art, things or something that makes life easier or more interesting. I’m also open to well-made products, unique items or things with a bit of character - not mass-produced but thoughtful or crafted.Sometimes it’s about usefulness, sometimes it’s about creativity - preferably both!
If it feels fair, grounded and genuinely worthwhile for both of us, it’s worth suggesting.If you want to start a conversation about a potential swapp, please get in touch.
A website is often the first place someone 'meets' you, and the service you offer, long before they meet you in person. It’s where potential customers get a sense of who you are, what you offer & whether they feel ready to make contact.Creating that kind of space online can feel daunting if you don't know how or where to start. How do I create a website? What should it look like? What should it say? How do you make sure people can actually find it? And on and on and on....For you, I will design, build and manage a calm, modern, stylish website of up to 5 pages, created specifically to reflect you and your business, service or products. Every detail will echo your professional identity - clearly, professionally and with utmost care.Each site can include:
• Images of your business / service
• A clear, professional biography
• Space for information about your approach and services
• A tailor-made banner video genuinely reflecting your work.
Every site is search-engine optimised & Google-indexed, so it’s easy for customers to find and easy to trust. Think of it as your professional marketing department online: clear, welcoming and quietly working for you 24/7 without costing you a penny.(Please note: websites do not include e-commerce options or in-built booking systems. I can integrate any current booking system you use with your new website, if necessary.)
Your logo is more than just a badge - it’s the visual personality of you and your business.It’s almost always the first thing people see & engage with and it really sets the tone for how you and your work is recognised, trusted, remembered and what sells you - but creating a logo that feels professional, versatile and truly 'you' is more challenging than it looks.I will design a professional logo & visual identity that reflects you, your business and your approach. You’ll receive three tailored variations of the agreed design, each ready for different uses - whether that’s on your website, social media, printed materials or merchandise.This ensures your brand is consistent & recognisable across every platform, so you can present your business with confidence, knowing it looks professional and trustworthy.
Sometimes, words and images alone don’t fully capture the essence of you and your business.
A short, slick, dynamic video can really bring your business to life - showing people not just what you do but how you do it and what they can expect. It’s one of the most powerful ways to create a connection and build trust before a potential customer even picks up the phone.Your video can include:
• Images or short clips of your business and you in action
• A "piece-to-camera" where you speak directly to camera (optional...don't panic!)
• On-screen text to highlight your approach and values
• Contact details, website & social media channels
• Edited to professionally produced music.The result is a polished, attractive, authentic piece of digital work that fits seamlessly with your wider content - perfect for sharing on social media, embedding on your new website or sending directly to potential clients.It’s not just a promotional video; it’s a real-world reflection of you and your business - and a great way to show your work for what it's truly worth.
