For small independents who haven't got time to chase leads.

Websites, branding & email that bring in customers.

Websites, branding and email for small independents — from a hair salon to a UK financial advice firm. Built to do the work for you, at a fraction of agency prices.

Tech knowledge needed — I handle everything
↑ no logins or editor to wrestle

Built for small independents
of every kind.

Most of my work is for small independent businesses — a hair or beauty salon, a local café, a maker selling on Etsy, a tradesperson who'd rather be on the tools than chasing quotes. UK financial advice firms are a vertical specialism I lean into because of WealthR — my own UK net worth and retirement-planning platform — so I already speak the sector's language. Whatever you do, the approach is the same: one conversation, a price agreed upfront, and the whole thing handled for you.

Not on this list? Doesn't matter — drop me a message and tell me what you do. I've yet to meet a small business that didn't need either better email, a better website, or both.


What I do.
Done properly.

The work that brings customers in and keeps them coming back — built once, with no monthly fee unless you want me on hand for changes.

Spotlight — Email welcome sequences

Your new customers are
slipping away quietly

Think about the last time you bought something or enquired about a service and heard nothing back. No confirmation, no follow-up, just silence. That's exactly what most of your customers experience. Not because you don't care — but because you're busy and nobody set this up. A welcome sequence runs in the background and sorts it for you.

Dead simple
from the start.

Here's what working with me looks like, from first message to live site.

01
Tell me what's going on
Fill in the form below — there's no lengthy brief to write. Tell me what you do, who your customers are, and what's not working. That's all I need to start.
02
I'll get back to you personally
Not a templated reply, not an automated response. I'll read what you've sent, have a proper think, and come back with honest advice and a clear, no-surprises quote. Usually within a day or two.
03
I do the work, you stay busy
Once you're happy to go ahead, I handle everything. You answer a few questions about your business and I take it from there — writing, designing, building, setting up.
04
It runs without you
Your emails go out on their own. Your site works while you sleep. And if things change down the line — new prices, a different offer, a fresh tone — I offer an optional 6 or 12-month refresh to keep it all current.

Simple packages.
No surprises.

Most of what I do starts as a one-off — you know exactly what you're paying before we start, and it's always a fraction of what an agency would charge. For businesses that want to keep showing up month after month, there's an ongoing option too. Not sure which fits? Just drop me a message and we'll figure it out.

Monthly
For businesses that want to keep showing up
Ongoing — cancel any time, one month's notice

Getting set up is just the start. The businesses that keep growing are the ones that stay in front of their customers — a monthly email, a fresh blog post, copy that doesn't go stale. You tell me what to focus on each month, I write it, and it goes out. You stay top of mind without it ever reaching your to-do list.

Talk about Monthly →
  • One piece of content every month — your choice of a newsletter or a blog post
  • Written from scratch, in your voice, every time
  • Website copy kept up to date when things change — prices, services, offers
  • Rounds of amends until you're happy
  • Keeps your email list engaged and your Google visibility ticking over
  • Add it to any package, or pick it up after the one-off work is done
  • No long-term contract — just a month's notice to pause or stop
🎨
Just need branding? That works too.
Logo, colour palette, typography and a one-page style sheet — commissioned solo, no website required. Branding is also bundled into Website Only and Complete if you'd rather do both together. Tell me what you need and I'll come back with a clear quote.
🔄
Optional refresh service
Things change. Prices go up, offers shift, your tone evolves. Every package comes with the option to add a 6 or 12-month refresh — I'll revisit your emails and/or site copy to keep everything current, accurate, and working as hard as it should.
🌐
Optional managed hosting
Want everything handled in one place? I can manage your domain, web hosting, and email hosting on your behalf — one monthly fee, one invoice, no juggling providers or surprise renewals. The price is agreed upfront and stays stable, and I look after the lot for you.

Two paths, same standard.

Most of my work is for small independent businesses. UK financial advice firms are a deeper vertical specialism I lean into because of WealthR, my own wealth-tracking platform. Whichever sounds like you, there's a page below that goes into the detail.


I'm actively looking for first clients.

LiamMail is new — I won't pretend otherwise. What that means for you is that I'm highly motivated to do exceptional work, I'm not juggling dozens of clients, and every project gets my full attention. If you're a small business that needs email or a website sorted, now's a good time to get in touch.

Hi, I'm Liam

I run LiamMail from Edinburgh on a flexible schedule around my full-time job — a focused, deliberate side venture. Small businesses lose customers not because of their service, but because nothing's happening online to keep them coming back: no follow-up emails, a website that's nearly ready, branding that's never quite landed. You work too hard for that — and you shouldn't be paying agency prices to fix it. That's why I keep things fair.

Alongside LiamMail I build WealthR — a modern wealth platform used directly by UK investors and offered as a client portal by advice firms. That's where the UK financial advice specialism comes from: I know your clients and your tools. I'm not a compliance officer — your compliance lead always signs off the final copy — but you won't have to rewrite half the site to get there.

Before you get in touch.

A quick set of the things people usually want to know first. Anything specific to your vertical, the small businesses and UK financial advice firms pages have their own FAQs. Anything else, just ask.

How does pricing work?
Every project is quoted individually. Tell me what you're thinking — what you do, who your customers are, what you need built or rewritten — and I'll come back with a clear, fixed-price quote agreed upfront before any work starts. There's no mandatory retainer and no surprise platform fees — just your domain's annual renewal and an optional care plan if you want me on hand for changes. If something's simpler than expected, it costs less. If it's more involved, I'll say so before we start.
How long does a project take?
A small one-page site is usually 2–3 weeks from brief to launch. A fuller multi-section site with branding work and email sequences is typically 4–8 weeks. Brand-from-scratch projects sit at the longer end. I'll give you a realistic timeline as part of the quote — and I work evenings and weekends, so most milestones land sooner than you'd expect from a 9-to-5 agency.
I don't have a logo, brand colours or written content. Is that a problem?
Not at all — "we have nothing" is a perfectly normal starting point. I can design a logo, build a simple brand identity (colours, type, a one-page style sheet you can hand to anyone making things for you later), and write all the website copy from scratch as part of the project. The shorter your brief, the more I'll ask in our first conversation.
I already have a Wix / Squarespace / GoDaddy site. Should I rebuild?
Often, yes — but I'll tell you honestly if I don't think it's worth it. Most template platforms quietly cost you in monthly fees you don't see, code you don't own, designs that look like every other business in your category, and limited local SEO. I'll have a quick look at your current site and either suggest a rebuild or recommend smaller fixes — whichever serves you better.
Where are you based? Do you only work with Edinburgh businesses?
I'm based in Edinburgh, but everything I do is remote — a call, a few emails, a shared folder, and I can work with any business anywhere in the UK or worldwide. Same quality, same personal approach. For UK financial advice firms, I work UK-wide and the sister product, WealthR, is built specifically for the UK retail wealth market.
What happens after launch?
Every project comes with tweaks until you're happy and ongoing support after launch — I don't disappear once the site goes live. If you want to keep showing up consistently (monthly newsletters, fresh blog posts, copy that stays current), there's an optional monthly content arrangement with one month's notice to pause or stop. No long-term contracts.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Most people aren't on day one — that's the whole point of the first conversation. Drop me a message with whatever you've got: what your business does, what's not working at the moment, and what you'd love to be different. I'll come back with honest advice on what would move the needle, even if that means a smaller scope than you came in expecting.

Tell me what's
going on with your business

No commitment, no sales call, no weird pressure. Just tell me what you do and what's not working — I'll come back with honest thoughts and a straight answer.

Not sure if I'm
the right fit?

Drop me a message anyway. If I don't think I'm the right fit, I'll tell you — and usually point you somewhere that is. No sales script, and I won't chase you afterwards.
