About Freya Padmore
Squarespace Web Designer, London
I’m a web designer with a background in marketing and a love for playing around with tech (which means you don’t have to!) It’s my mission to support support small business owners in showing up confidently online, without the stress and tech-headaches.
Why Work With Me?
Qualified Marketer
I have a degree in digital marketing where I learnt how to connect with consumers online. I have not only worked with small businesses on their websites & SEO, I have also worked at a marketing agency so I know what goes into getting results and ROI.
Problem Solver
Some people find “figuring it out” tedious, but I get so much satisfaction from finding the perfect solution to a problem. I am that person that gets super excited when I find a new software and spend hours on YouTube learning the latest features (for fun?!).
Values Driven
In both business and my personal life, I always strive to put the people and the planet first. I love to work with brands with purpose. Whether that is LGBTQ+ inclusivity, mental wellbeing, the environment or something in between.
Personal Touch
Business is personal. That’s why I value building genuine connections with the people I work with. I’m not a faceless agency or a Fiverr-freelancer. Together let’s celebrate the highs, troubleshoot the lows and find the perfect website solution for your business.
My Journey Into Web Design
My whole working career has been in marketing, starting with my degree in Digital Marketing from the University of Derby. This is where I really discovered my love for web design and SEO, learning about how your online presence can be a tool for building trust and generating leads.
During Covid I joined a Facebook group full of small businesses in my local area and I got to see first hand how powerful community is. In such a difficult time, this community came together each week to share their worries and support each other through the hard times over a glass of wine and a few tears too.
I really got to appreciate just how much small business owners care about what they do. It is a passion that is unparalleled.
When I graduated with my first class honours, I fulfilled my life long dream of moving to London.
I worked at an award winning marketing agency with huge brands like Amazon but I was missing the passion that came with small businesses. I learnt a lot, from client relationships to the importance of data and ROI, but I was totally unfulfilled staring at emails and spreadsheets all day. Not to mention my salary and growth was completely in the hands of someone else - no thanks!
I wanted to go back to supporting small businesses, back to working on my own terms and back caring about my work. Which is how I ended up here! A web designer working with all sorts of passionate people. I adore helping small businesses make an impact through websites that actually convert.
So, if you’re ready to build a high-converting website rooted in marketing strategy and want to work with someone who understands your passion and will do everything to help you succeed…. that’s where I come in!

3 fun facts about Freya
In August 2022 I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charity. Needless to say it was the hardest mental and physical challenge I have ever completed. For the climb I fundraised £2,500, one of the ways being through web design!
1.
I am obsessed with live music & have been to over 40 gigs! My obsession even lead me to work with the marketing team at Y Not festival, an indie music festival in the UK where I captured social media content and even got to go backstage. (Dream come true!)
2.
I designed my very first website when I was just 14 years old. I ran a little blog where I wrote about studying, books and “fashion” - which consisted mostly of Harry Potter tshirts honestly. I posted every week and even made pins for Pinterest, so you could say I live and breath this stuff!
