How we approach it
Wedding & Event Planner
Built mobile-first with enquiry forms front and centre, local SEO foundations laid at launch, and a content structure ready for the keywords couples actually search.
The problem
Your website exists. But it's not working.
Most business websites look fine but are quietly costing their owners clients. They don't show up on Google, they're awkward to use on a phone, and visitors leave without getting in touch. You're not losing to better businesses. You're losing to better websites.

How we work
Our process, built to bring you clients
No complicated onboarding and no back and forth confusion. A simple 4 step process that gets your site live fast, without cutting corners.
We chart the course
We go deeper than asking for your logo and a few photos. We study your business, your clients, and the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
We plot the design
We turn that research into a design built around your brand and your clients, a blueprint for the build to come, not a template we've reused fifty times.
We set sail
This is where the system does its work. Your site moves through every stage of our process, built to bring you more clients from day one.
We hand you the helm
Your site launches ready for you to run, with training videos and handover documentation so you're never stuck on the basics. An optional care plan keeps your site secure, backed up and looked after, with us still at your side.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out and we'll get back to you.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects move through our process in a few weeks, not months. We keep timelines focused and revision rounds limited, so you get a site live sooner rather than stuck in endless back and forth.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Every site launches with training videos and handover documentation, so you can handle day to day changes yourself. If you would rather not think about it, our care plan keeps your site secure, backed up, monitored and running smoothly after launch.
Do you build online stores or ecommerce sites?
Ecommerce isn't a standard offering for us. We focus on service businesses, and while we're capable of building online stores and have done so before, our core strength is websites, local SEO, AI visibility, and automations for businesses that sell services rather than products.
What is AI visibility, and why does it matter for my business?
AI visibility is about showing up when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews a question, not just when they type a keyword into a search bar. More people are starting their search for a service this way, so a site structured to be understood by AI systems, not only by Google's classic search, is becoming part of being found online.
What makes Ocean Digital different from a freelancer or a large agency?
We sit deliberately in the middle. A freelancer often means one person juggling everything with limited capacity, and a large agency often means heavy overheads and layers of account management. We're a small, focused studio, so you get direct access to the people doing the work, without the overheads of a big agency.
Will I be able to update my own website after it launches?
Yes. Every site launches with training videos and handover documentation, so you're not stuck waiting on us for the basics. We build it to run on its own in your hands from day one.
Do you only build one-page websites?
No. We don't recommend one page websites for small businesses, since most service businesses need more than a single scroll to properly explain what they do, show their work, and give visitors a clear next step. We build proper multi-page sites structured around how your clients actually search and decide.
Which businesses do you work with?
We work with service based businesses, from creative professionals and childcare providers to health and wellness practices, home services, and other professional services. If you run a service business that wants to get found online and turn more visitors into enquiries, we're likely a good fit.
