I'm Michaela Curran, a London-based web designer and founder of Michaela Curran Creative. I design and custom-build websites for small businesses across the UK, US and worldwide, with a focus on creating sites that are clear, professional and built around what the business actually needs.
Before starting my web design business, I spent 12 years working across healthcare and progressed through different areas of the sector, including clinical trials, adult nursing, and four years working in beauty and aesthetics. I also hold a degree in Biomedical Science.
Working across these different environments taught me the importance of listening carefully, communicating clearly and understanding the person in front of you. Those principles now shape how I work with clients. Before I start building, I take the time to understand your business, your customers and what you need your website to achieve.
A good website needs to look professional, but it also needs to make sense to the people using it.
I focus on clear structure, straightforward content and an experience that makes it easy for visitors to understand what you offer and take the next step. I build with mobile responsiveness and on-page SEO essentials in mind, and can include client-editable content so you can make updates to your website without needing a developer.
Where appropriate, I also implement structured data to help search engines understand key information about your business, services and website content.
I don't believe every business needs the same website, the same features or the same approach. What works for a growing trades business may be very different from what a therapist, aesthetics clinic or boutique business needs.
My role is to understand that difference and build accordingly.
You'll get clear communication, honest recommendations and a website created around your business rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
