In this episode, we chat with web designer Marie Brown from Beyond The Kitchen Table, about how to transform your website from a static online brochure into a powerful marketing asset.

Marie shares how her unconventional journey from corporate life to web design began — after a frustrating experience with an agency that charged extra for every small update and made her feel like an afterthought. Determined to do better, she taught herself how to build websites that actually work for small business owners — not against them.

What We Talk About

💡 Websites as Marketing Assets, not just tech

💻 Building with Purpose - your website should reflect your personality and purpose

🧭 The Role of Your Website - beyond looking good, your website should:

  • Generate revenue, talent and trust
  • Save time by answering FAQs and pre-qualifying leads
  • Reflect your brand values and voice

🔧 Keeping It Updated
Websites don’t need constant attention like social media, but they do need regular maintenance, What should you be doing to keep your website optimised?

📈 Leveraging Your Website
I ask Marie how we can make our website work harder for us.

🎯 Intentional Design & User Journey
Every website should guide visitors toward one key action — not leave them wandering.

🔍 SEO and Being Found Online
Marie breaks down SEO for small business owners.

Key Takeaways

  • Your website is a living marketing asset — not a one-time project.
  • Clarity beats complexity: make it easy for the right people to understand, trust, and contact you.
  • SEO and user experience go hand in hand when done strategically.
  • Regular, intentional updates keep your website relevant and credible.
