A professional email address means one that is connected to your domain . For example , something@yourdomain.co.uk. The industry leaders for this are Google and Microsoft . We are resellers of both, so can provide these at retail price, and include our support in that too. Why have a professional email address? They improve your security & GDPR compliance. Free services, like @gmail or @btconnect do NOT usually offer enough compliancy for a business. They look more trustwor

A domain name is your web address, eg something.co.uk or a something.com. These are not free services, they are paid for through a domain registrar like GoDaddy or IONOS. Sometimes, web designers (like us) partner with one of these registrars in order to be authorised to look after client's domains on their behalf. You must have at least 1 domain name in order to have a website online. Sometimes, people like to buy multiple variations to prevent competitors grabbing them. A

When potential customers search for a service you offer, what’s the first thing they see? Chances are, it’s your Google Business Profile . Before they visit your website.Before they call you.Before they trust you. Your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is often your first impression  — and in many cases, your most important one. A healthy, well-managed profile can be the difference between getting the call… or losing the customer to a competitor. What Is a

Most of us will wrongly have our sent or received items labelled as spam at some point, which can affect your business and is very frustrating for all involved. It’s often not due to anything you’ve done wrong, but certain factors can trigger more sensitive spam filters. For this reason it's important to check your spam or junk folders regularly and encourage your clients to do the same — it’s simply good email practice. Assuming we host your emails for you, then you are on i

Nothing was too much trouble "We decided that we needed a complete overhaul of our IT, website and branding and Shaun was not only happy to help but suggested he bring along his wife and business partner....enter Kat. Not only did Kat get us, and get what we were trying to achieve, but she gave us a variety of routes to consider, allowing us to narrow the path as we went." Steve, St Neots Cleaning Company

Kat & Shaun from Online Designs have worked for myself and my father on multiple different businesses over the last 4 years. I can honestly say that they are 2 of the nicest people I have met, they have always helped with initial guidance and help from the very first message we have sent to them. They have saved us thousands of pounds in building websites and maintaining them for us at very competitive prices. Every website they have built for us has been very professional, s

So easy to work with "Amazing company to work with, Kat really understood what we were trying to showcase and created a beautiful website that I couldn't be happier with! They were also easy to work with, friendly and communicative! 5 stars!!" Davies Stone Garden Buildings, August 2023

One of the most pleasurable experiences we've had "We just wanted to say a massive thank you to Kat and Shaun for not only creating us an amazing website with accompanying mailbox, but for also making the process soo easy!! We have been putting off changing our website for years as we always thought it would be a long and lengthy process and were worried about being rushed. I can honestly say this has been one of the most pleasurable experiences we have had so thank you once

Mill Blossom Flowers is a wonderful small business based in Lode, a beautiful village just outside of Cambridge. Jackie had made her own website which, while it did contain the essential information and was doing the job, she was the first to admit could look more professional and less like a 'template.' When your business is beautiful flowers, it seems a shame not to make the website equally as pretty! The new, finished Mill Blossom Flowers website We agreed on a simple, min

In 2026, the rules of digital communication have changed. Simply having a professional email address at your domain is no longer enough to guarantee that your clients actually see your messages. Whether you are using Microsoft 365  or Google Workspace , major email providers have tightened their security filters to an all-time high. If you’ve noticed a drop in your open rates or heard from clients that your invoices are landing in their "Junk" folders, the culprit is likely a

It's important to make sure your website is modern and working properly so that your customers can get in touch. But what are the signs that perhaps it's time for a refresh? Slow loading time Website loading speed is critical to the overall user experience. It affects the time visitors spend on the website and their overall satisfaction. A slow-loading website can lead to higher bounce rates, which means fewer customers and less new leads for your business.   Various factors,

This is not a price change, it is a new plan option to offer more flexibility. Based on customer feedback, we now understand that a year is a long time to commit to having your website online. Up until now that is all we've offered as we can get you better deals on hosting for committing to a year. However customers have told us they would rather pay a surcharge and have the option to only commit 1 month at a time. So, we've done it. You will now renew monthly instead, giving

This seems funny because the last newsletter I sent was Christmas, and suddenly I'm talking about Spring.   Much like Spring cleaning your house (although does anyone actually do that?) every Spring (ish) I run through your website and take a good look at things.   You will then get an email with some thoughts and tips.   This will include: 🌸  Whether your design is up to date or needs attention 🌸  Checking your SEO is okay and that your website is connected to Google 🌸  W

One of our longest standing clients, Blunham Dairy, expressed the thought that their website was feeling a little tired and they wanted something newer and modern to attract new customers. Seeing as their website was a few years old we were happy to get stuck in. A new font, the addition of a new bold colour, and a brand new more modern and minimalist layout gave their website a completely fresh feel without the need for a major re-design. They are already seeing an increase

Choosing the right keywords is the very first step with SEO. A keyword (also known as a keyword phrase) is the words you think your customers will type into Google to find a business like you. You can have more than one keyword/phrase. For example, our main keyword phrase is "Web Design St Neots." This is because we want to show up when someone types that in. This is important because we will optimise your whole website with your keyword phrase in order to give you the best c
