Shannon Kate Murray - Squarespace Website Designer for Established Businesses & Founders in Essex

Hi, I’m Shannon.

I’m the website partner established small businesses go to when their site no longer reflects the reputation they’ve built.

I design and rebuild strategic websites that strengthen your credibility, support higher pricing and remove friction from enquiries. Based in Essex • Working with growing businesses across the UK.

Your business has moved forward. Your website hasn’t.

You’ve built something solid through reputation, referrals, and consistently delivering quality work. But your website was built years ago, quickly or without commercial thinking behind it. Now it:

  • Undersells your experience

  • Looks behind competitors

  • Doesn’t reflect your pricing

  • Creates friction in enquiries

  • Doesn’t feel aligned with the level you opperate at

And you know it needs sorting properly.

That’s usually when I get the call - from businesses who are raising prices, repositioning toward a more premium client, launching a second venture, or professionalising a long-standing family business.

They understand something important: A website is not for decoration. It’s perception. It’s positioning. It’s leverage.

When your website finally reflects the standard you operate at, everything shifts: confidence, enquiries and conversations.

  • “It finally feels like me”

    Barbara Ayisi

    “Working with Shannon was one of the best decisions I made for my business. My new website is absolutely beautiful - the design, the flow, the user-friendliness… everything feels effortless and so me.

    I’ve had so many compliments already. Shannon is incredibly talented, supportive, and genuinely invested in bringing your vision to life. If you’re looking for someone who really gets it and goes above and beyond, she’s your girl.”

  • "More advertising enquiries, a bigger online audience, and a site I’m genuinely proud to share everywhere"

    Graham Deakin • Over The Edge Magazine • Chelmsford

    “It’s been amazing working with Shannon.

    The new website is an absolute thing of beauty, but more than that, she understood exactly what Over The Edge needed.

    The new website has already made a huge difference. I’d recommend Shannon to any publication or business looking for a website that actually supports their growth.”

  • “Clear guidance and great judgement”

    Naomi Maximen • Naomi Sadé London

    “Shannon understood my vision perfectly and gave thoughtful advice on what would work and what needed changing. She took her time and was always available for questions.

    I would highly recommend her website design services.”

  • “One of the best investments I’ve made”

    Mollie Barnard • The Hair Hut • Tendring District

    “Shannon has added SO much value to my business. I’m absolutely over the moon with my website - she couldn’t have been more helpful, kind, passionate, and professional.

    If you’re thinking of getting a website made or edited, GO FOR IT. It will be one of the best decisions and investments you make.”

  • “It’s saved me so much time”

    Carla Edwards • Beach Hut Hire Holland-on-Sea

    “From start to finish, Shannon was extremely professional and I’m so pleased with the final result. Guests can now view availability and book online, which has saved me so much time.

    It’s all thanks to Shannon.”

Strategic Squarespace
Website Design & Build

No website begins with design. It begins with clarity.

Every project begins with structured onboarding. I review your current site, positioning, services and market. We clarify what your website needs to achieve commercially.

Then I design and build.

Whether you’re rebuilding an outdated site or launching a second venture, the objective is the same: your website should match the level you now operate at.

  • • Full rebuild or new launch
    • Strategic page structure
    • Copy refinement and hierarchy
    • Squarespace design and development
    • Booking, payment or course integrations
    • Automation setup
    • On-page SEO foundations
    • Mobile optimisation
    • Training and handover

    Handled properly. From strategy through to launch.

  • You’re not hiring someone experimenting with templates.

    You’re working with someone who understands how businesses operate behind the scenes.

    • Former Assistant Director of Marketing & Operations within a growing agency
    • Experience across service industries, publications and premium repositioning
    • Commercial thinking alongside design
    • Websites that support pricing increases and market repositioning

    I understand how perception influences buying decisions.

    When someone lands on your website, they decide very quickly whether you feel established or not.

    We make sure they feel it.

Investment

Typical rebuilds and launch projects sit between £2,500 – £4,200, depending on scope and integrations.

You’ll receive a clear proposal and scope before we begin. No vague pricing, hidden extras or unnecessary add-ons.

I take on a limited number of builds each month to ensure every project is handled with focus and care.
