Coaches, wellness and personal brands

Coaching website design that turns strangers into booked calls.

The Maha Rose corporate wellness page was built live with the team and won a serious New York client within the hour of launch. For Vincent Glanzmann, a drummer, sound designer and artist in Zurich, we built the Art Score Book page: oversized pink type, his hand-drawn scores and a scroll that reads like a performance. It launched a limited edition of 100 books, and the book sold out.

Multi-page mockups

Website mockups: see every page before anything is built.

We deliver multi-page mockups you can click through on desktop and mobile, not a single picture of a homepage. For The Embodied King, a 13-week course and brotherhood for men run by Ian Wilkes, we designed six complete directions. Each one carries every section of the course: the call, the long read, the course structure, who it is for, enrolment and pricing, so Ian could scroll them side by side and choose.

  • Six full design directions, every section designed
  • Every page on desktop and mobile

Integrations

Website integrations: one booking, six systems at once.

Your website becomes the front desk. Booking, payments, email, messages and analytics all talk to the site and to each other, so nobody copies a thing by hand again. Here is what happens in the six seconds after a guest clicks book.

  1. Your website

    A guest books the sea-view room for three nights, on your site, not a platform.

  2. Stripe

    Takes the deposit in the currency they chose and pays it straight to you.

  3. Cloudbeds

    Blocks the dates on Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia before anyone else can take them.

  4. Mailchimp

    Sends the welcome letter, directions and what to pack.

  5. WhatsApp

    Pings your phone with their name, dates and arrival time.

  6. Google Analytics 4

    Records the sale against the exact search that brought them in.

How we work together

Every website starts as a mockup you can click.

No PDFs and no guessing. Within 72 hours of your brief you hold a working version of your site on your own phone. These are real mockups and proposals from recent projects, so scroll them and click around.

1
A mockup in 72 hours

A working mockup of your site, not a picture of one. Click through it, tell me what you feel, and we refine it until it is right.

2
You approve, I build

Share a login and the approved mockup is built on your platform within 72 hours, connected to booking, payments and email.

3
You go live

Redirects, SEO handover and a recorded walkthrough. Remove my access after, or keep me on for care.

Starting is the easy part

Website redesign in two steps and seventy-two hours. Only a login is needed.

Most people think starting is the hard part. It isn’t. I don’t want to own anything: not your site, not your domain, not your accounts. I only need a login. Everything stays yours, before, during and after.

Give me a login

If you are comfortable, send me your username and password. If not, add me as a user on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow or Shopify. Either way it takes two minutes.

I log in and do the work

Within 72 hours the approved design is built, connected and live. You watch it happen in your own dashboard.

That’s it. Delete me after, or keep me on for care.

Questions

Website design questions, answered.

Straight answers on speed, cost and ownership. Anything else, ask me directly below.

Start my project

A clickable mockup of every page arrives within 72 hours of your brief. Once you approve it, the site is built on your platform in another 72 hours, so the full website is live in six to seven days, whatever the complexity.

Yes. I design and build websites in person or remotely for clients in London, across the UK and the USA, throughout the Caribbean and in 108 countries. Sites are set up for the currencies, booking systems and messaging your customers already use, from £ and US$ to EC$ checkout and WhatsApp enquiries.

A custom website starts at £6,000 for up to five core pages, mobile ready, with SEO set up and your booking or shop connected. Extra landing pages are £250 each and structured custom content starts at £1,500. You get the exact quote after a short call.

The one that suits you: WordPress, Wix Studio, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, Framer or custom code. If you already have a platform, I build on it.

Yes. Everything stays yours, before, during and after: the site, the domain and every account. I only need a login, and you can remove me when we finish or keep me on for care.

Every site launches with SEO set up, redirects from your old pages handled and the searches your buyers use researched. Each extra landing page is written to win one specific search, such as hotel website design in Barbados or jewellery ecommerce in St Lucia.

A note from me

Hi, I'm Celina.

For almost twenty years I have filmed, photographed, written and built for places with a real story, in more than 100 countries. There is no agency and no junior behind me. When you write here, you are writing to me, and I read every word.

This is something that can be turned around very fast, and the work gets done at the top quality. So please be serious about your request.

Tell me about your website and what you want it to do. I will reply personally within one working day.

(function(){function bind(){document.querySelectorAll(".elementor-element-2c4b959 form").forEach(function(f){if(f.dataset.auto)return;f.dataset.auto=1;f.addEventListener("change",function(e){var t=e.target;if(t.type!=="radio")return;var st=t.closest(".e-form__step");if(!st)return;var nx=st.querySelector(".e-form__buttons__wrapper__button-next");if(nx)setTimeout(function(){nx.click()},280)})})}if(document.readyState!=="loading")bind();else document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",bind);window.addEventListener("load",bind)})();

Your mockup could start this week.

Four quick taps and you are done. I reply personally within one working day, and your clickable mockup can be in your hands 72 hours after we talk.
