This is me. Digital marketer by day & website designer by night. Fueled by coffee and a passion for what I do.

I am passionate about helping and empowering small businesses to market themselves sensibly in order to maximise a return. This means helping my clients to find and talk to the right customers for their business and developing ways to make existing customers happier, so that they recommend you to others.

I deliver a personalised, hands-on approach to every sole trader, start up and small business that I work with. Which is why I focus on helping companies in Bristol & Bath, so that we can meet up easily for a catch up and a cup of tea.

As a web designer and digital marketer I can help you to create a new website, offer WordPress website support, help with your marketing strategy or be an extra pair of hands to get your marketing campaigns implemented. If you need some support, marketing training or mentoring, then please get in touch.

I support my clients with training wherever it is required, so that they fully understand how to get the most out of the websites I have created, the email campaigns I have set up or the digital advertising campaigns I have devised.

Where do you need help?

Website Planning

I’ll help you to plan the structure, content, layout & functionality of your website in line with your business goals and brand guidelines.

Website Creation

Do you already have a plan for your website and just need someone to build it? Then I’ll build you a WordPress website your customers will love visiting.

Website Management

Take the headache out of doing your website backups, security and updates. Outsource your WordPress website maintenance and give yourself the peace of mind that your site is being looked after.

Digital Content Creation

Need a helping hand with copywriting or editing? Or need to organise a photo or video shoot? It’s easy to underestimate the amount of time content creation takes. A helping hand in this department can help you to focus on other prioirities and running your business.

Digital Marketing Promotion

Have a website already, but you’d like to attract more customers? I offer help and one-to-one training for SEO, email marketing using MailChimp, graphic design using Canva, Facebook Advertising and Google Adwords and Analytics. I can also advise on social media marketing & measurement.

Digital Campaign Measurement

How well are your campaigns performing? I can assist you with unravelling the mysteries of Google Analytics. I can also help you to measure the success of your marketing efforts, which will enable you to make informed decisions for your website and your business.

What my clients say about me and my work

Working with Karen has been such a dream! Start to finish, she couldn’t have made it easier. She was able to make sense of the jumble of ideas in my idea and clarify my business. She’s thorough, efficient and flipping friendly to boot! My new website is gorgeous! I just love it. Couldn’t be happier if I tried, with the service I’ve received. She answered all of my billions of emails, in a quick and helpful fashion. I shall really miss working with her. Can’t recommend her enough, for shiny websites, for small businesses 🙂 If get a mo, do take a look at Freelance Mum – it’s all her fab work.

Karen was brilliant; the support she gives us is excellent. Thank you very much Karen, our website looks really good and the design is perfect for our preschool. I can fully recommend Karen to design and set up your web site, she can interpret your ideas and transform them into a professional finished web site.

I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. She took our project from an initial concept and was able to create an extremely professional website as well as giving us lots of advice about marketing strategies. She was lovely to work with, always happy to answer any questions and able to make technical issues easy to understand so that I now feel confident running the website. Thank you so much.

Karen has used her knowledge of working with small businesses to design a website that is a perfect fit for my guitar tuition business. She provided lots of ideas and new features for my website that I hadn’t previously considered, and was always willing to go the extra mile to support my understanding of using and updating the website.

Karen is a great person to partner with on a client SEO project as we did at Ambitious PR. Because she is from a marketing background she gets the bigger picture & how SEO fits into the whole campaign & the different types of marketing & PR/editorial copy at play. We worked with her on a client campaign where the client had paid a lot of money out for SEO & web work before & found it techy & confusing & as a result was understandably sceptical. They found Karen’s analysis & recommendations easy to follow & that she ‘was the best SEO person’ they’d worked with. She’s accountable, clear on timings/expectation & good fun to work with!

From initial meeting to end product, my experience with Karen from Sensible Marketing exceeded all of my expectations. She truly immersed herself into my project and set out to fulfil all of my goals for the website, providing constant support and feedback well above the initial remit. Nothing seemed too much hassle and her professionalism was invaluable when it came to the finer points and mistakes in my content I would have missed had I opted to undertake this project alone. I am so thrilled with my new website. Thank you Karen.

Karen is excellent at her job i would highly recommend her. She is professional and friendly and helped my business massively.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Karen at Sensible Marketing for designing my new website Coaching For Good. She has done a brilliant job of clearly conveying the coaching services I offer and created a simple way for individuals and not-for-profit organisations to get in touch. Karen was happy to share her marketing and design expertise and recommendations, whilst being flexible to ensure all of my goals for the website were met. I am very happy with my new website and would highly recommend Sensible Marketing to any small business in need of a website.
