CASE STUDY
Launching a Luxury Brand: Web Design & Digital Strategy for Nadia Walford PR
Nadia Walford is a global PR specialist, delivering bespoke PR campaigns for luxury travel, wellness and lifestyle brands. She leverages her extensive expertise and network of contacts to help brands be seen and heard in the right places.
The Challenge
There’s nothing more daunting than a blank canvas. Nadia was starting a new businesses with no digital footprint. I was tasked with designing and building a website that would match her 15+ years of high-level expertise. Past clients of hers included Condé Nast and Park Hyatt New York. The website needed to have a high-end luxury aesthetic to appeal to a discerning audience.
The Strategy & Solution
After in depth consultation with Nadia to understand her business requirements, I created a digital presence that aligns with her real-world strategy. The UX was carefully constructed to ensure that busy marketing directors and editors could navigate. Copy was used sparingly and strategically to ensure the site maintains the thoughtful minimal aesthetic of a luxury brand. Striking a balance between driving conversions and immersing visitors in her story - we worked together create a website that champions her values and works seamlessly on mobile.

Bespoke Website Designer South London
Situated in the borough of Newham, Stratford has undergone major regeneration from its industrial past to a modern centre for culture, sport, education, and commerce - largely thanks to the 2012 Olympics.
Newham is actually one of the most dynamic growth frontiers in the UK. Currently business growth and employment rates are outpacing the rest of London. Creative industries and tech startups are thriving here. By 2036, more than 33,000 new homes will have been built, significantly contributing to the local economy and creating a market for serviced based businesses (health and wellness, dog groomers, solicitors and financial services). With excellent connections to London, a large commuter population is moving in. Additionally, 100,000 new jobs could be created by 2030, bringing more even more money into the area. Construction and tourism will be key sectors.
Stratford’s Original Business Improvement District was formed in response to changes and developments taking place the area. An independent not-for-profit organisation, fully funded and led by local businesses, its vision is to move Stratford forward with a range of initiatives, improvements and events that put the town on the map.
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is a word class centre of innovation attracting investment as London’s centre of gravity shifts East. The campus features 535,000m2 of academic, cultural and enterprise led institutions, flexible workspaces, social spaces, venues and world-leading sports facilities. The area is an important spoke in London’s life science ecosystem.
The arrival of the Westfield Shopping Centre made the area a destination for retail an hospitality. I help local artisans compete with global brands with immersive story-led websites that load fast and work seamlessly across all devices.
How much does professional web design cost in Stratford?
Packages start at £1000 for an ultra simple freelancer brochure site with minimal design time. Professional businesses should expect to pay £3000+ and complex sites start at £6000.
What is the 3 second rule in web design?
The 3 second rule says that your website has three seconds to grab a user’s attention before they decide to stay or leave. It’s always recommended to keep your copy short and snappy because you have limited time to convey your message. Quality content and a well executed brand should do the heavy lifting.
How I Help Businesses In Stratford
-
Mobile First
In 2026, mobile first design isn’t a ‘nice to have’ - it’s the industry standard for how the internet is built. Mobile users make up over 60% of traffic - some regions are "mobile-only," meaning they don't even own a laptop. When Google indexes your website, it looks at the mobile view first. If your site is slow or clunky on mobile, your ranking will suffer - potentially making you invisible. I ensure your site flows seamlessly between devices with images that load fast and layouts that convert.
-
Secure
As we navigate a landscape where AI-driven attacks are the new norm, website security is more important than ever. Hackers now use AI that can scan millions of sites per hour, find specific vulnerabilities and launch customised exploits without any human intervention. I always recommend solid enterprise grade tools like Squarespace or Shopify which constantly monitor for threats for you and have and strict "vetted" marketplaces for their add-ons and extensions. That way you can be sure that your customers’ data and your brand reputation are safe.
-
SEO & AI Ready
There are two key elements to optimising your website - getting found my humans and getting found by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. The art of SEO has evolved. Previously, the focus was on using the right words, while keywords are still a factor, today google cares more about Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness. I will help ensure that you are producing content that establishes your brand as an authority in your industry.
-
Compliant
It’s important - particularly for businesses in the legal, financial or healthcare sector - to be transparent about how visitors’ data is collected and used. While it is important that you know the specific requirements for businesses and sector, I can advise on how to ensure you’re meeting those requirements. For example, many healthcare practices will use a purpose built contact form that’s more secure than a standard one.
-
Accessible (WCAG 2.2)
Accessibility ensures that people with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities can use your site. This is a legal requirement for many public services - it’s also an asset to every business to have a website that can be used by everyone. WCAG 2.2 is a set of standards. Images are given alt-text to ensure they are screen reader friendly. Users should be able to navigate the site using only the “Tab" and "Enter" keys. The colour of text should contrast enough with the background to ensure readability and video content must have captions.
-
Human Centric Design
It’s easier than ever to select an off-the-shelf template or prompt an AI chatbot to build a website. The problem is that the results tend to be less than impressive…From dreary layouts to soulless copy - google has gotten wise to low quality websites that lack a human touch. Google cares about authenticity - and so do your visitors. Real pictures, quotes, and case studies now take precedence over simply generating large volumes of content.
