Internet consultancy

Welcome to my website. On my blog I write about marketing, public relations and digital communications. To keep up-to-date with my posts you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign-up to receive blog posts by email.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my site.

Digital channels are now an everyday part of the marketing and PR mix. However developing a digital presence and marketing effectively using digital channels is not as simple as just creating a website.

The pace of change in digital media and the advent of new social media channels opens up many new challenges and opportunities for businesses.

My wide-ranging experience of digital channels including web, email, mobile and interactive TV means I can help you understand how to use these new media most effectively for your business.

I have had my personal website since 2001, and have been blogging regularly since 2005. In 2003 I co-founded Tinderhouse - a web design and marketing business based in Whitstable, Kent.

I provide a range of internet consultancy services, including:

  • Strategy and research
  • Website scoping and planning
  • Information architecture
  • Website design and build
  • Project management
  • Email and SMS marketing
  • RSS and social media marketing
  • Digital agency selection and management
