Your website should shine
as bright
as you
do.

Service-based or digital product businesses:

You need conversions, not just good looks

Sure, you want a beautiful website that stuns visitors, capturing their attention and enticing them to stay. But looks alone won’t cut it. You need a tireless sales machine — a website that builds trust and converts browsers into buyers while you’re busy running your business. A website with purpose.

You need to show who you are, not who you used to be

You’ve grown so much since your first (probably DIY) website. And that old thing might not reflect your business as it stands today. You want to show up as your authentic self so you can connect with your ideal customers (not difficult ones) and earn their trust by proving you understand them.

You need a strategy that gets traffic, not crickets

Before you can earn people’s trust, you need to get them to your site. In other words, you need a solid website strategy that gets you plenty of traffic. A strategy that focuses on showcasing your authenticity and expertise to your ideal market (AKA the people you love to work with).

You need a website that will save time, not waste it

Every day’s a mad (and wonderful) rush; you don’t have time to try to fix a broken website. But more than a low-maintenance site, you need one that proactively saves you time, automating tedious tasks and answering your prospects’ questions before they can even voice them.

Your website should work as hard
as you
do.

But more than anything you need a website you’re proud of

You’re after a bold, purposeful website you’re proud to share with the world. A website that inspires like you inspire. A website that shines like you shine. That way, you can confidently point prospects towards it — and confidently grow your business.

YOU ARE A

luminary /’lu:m|n(ə)ri/

  1. someone who inspires or influences others, especially one with an expertise in a particular subject or activity
  2. a person of prominence or brilliant achievement
LUMINARY!

Imagine your potential if you had a strategy-driven website

You’re a brilliant leader in your space. A force that shines. A Luminary.

But on your current website? Maybe not so much.

With a little help designing a website that truly reflects your brand, imagine how bright you’d be (spoiler: you’d be veritably blinding).

    “Holy s**t balls! This is mega thorough!”

    I'm chuffed with my beautiful, low-carbon website, but the real value came from the in-depth strategy Lucian created. It built trust during our project and shaped the website to ensure I get results rather than making design decisions based on 'ooh this will be pretty'. I love the design and the creativity he brought to the project, which he kept smooth and stress-free. The offboarding was also seamless.

    “Lumin's professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the process stress-free”

    Lumin exceeded our expectations in creating a user-friendly, carbon-conscious website that effectively showcases our work. Lucian maintained clear communication, conducted thorough testing, and provided detailed instructional videos on using and maintaining our new site. His professionalism and meticulous attention to detail made the process stress-free. We would gladly work with Lumin again.

    “Perfectly reflects my values and vision”

    I was struggling with an old website and lacked the time or expertise to manage a migration. Lucian’s strategy-driven approach made it seamless, and his collaborative style ensured my feedback was always heard. Now, I have a professional website I’m proud to share in the impact and sustainability space. I highly recommend Lucian if you need a professional online presence without the technical hassle.

  1. Phase 1 — Crescent Moon Clarity Workshop

    The Crescent Moon Clarity Workshop is a 90-minute deep dive into your business; it’s also the first phase of our strategy-driven web design and development. Even if you choose not to progress beyond this phase, you’ll walk away with a crystal-clear understanding of your target market, current marketing presence, business goals, and how you can achieve them — namely through a fresh, purposeful website.

    If you want to make your website even more compelling, we can discuss additional services, like professional copywriting and visual branding, at this stage. You may also want to consider eco-friendly web design.

  2. Phase 2 — Half Moon Strategy Formation

    Now that we understand your business goals, we’ll create a robust website strategy that will help you achieve them, focusing on the metric that’ll impact your business the most: conversion rate. Among several other highly valuable deliverables (like a competitor analysis sheet, an SEO attack plan, user personas, and a site map) you’ll get a traffic cheat sheet that presents all your brand touchpoints in a clear visual format and details practical ways to leverage them to get more eyes on your site. Because if no one ever sees your website, it won’t matter how fast, beautiful, or compelling it is!

    Delivery: 3-5 days
    Price: £295
  3. Proposal Review

    Now that we know exactly how a strategy-driven website will strengthen your online presence and earn you more conversions, we’ll draft a proposal (assuming we’re keen to work together!). We’ll then discuss the proposal with you in a free 25-minute chat, ensuring it’s 100% clear and that we’re offering solutions that address every one of your marketing and business goals.

    Delivery: 25-minute call
    Price: Free
  4. Phase 3 — Gibbous Moon Design and Development

    After the proposal is finalised, we’ll get started with the main body of work: wireframing, designing, and building a responsive website that positively scintillates on desktop and mobile alike. A lightning-fast, user-friendly site that Google loves as much as your human visitors do. We’ll ask for your feedback at every milestone, constantly refining your website so it authentically represents your brand, grabs (and holds) attention, increases your conversion rate, and saves you time.

    Delivery: 3-8 weeks
    Price: From £2,450
  5. Phase 4 — Full Moon Launch

    Once you’re 100% happy with your new website — your forever website — we’ll unleash it into the wild, dazzling the world with your brilliance.  We can then discuss a Moonlight Growth and Support Plan, where we’ll monitor your website with advanced analytics, hunting for growth opportunities and added efficiencies. That way, your site will remain true to your brand as you evolve, and continue to convert browsers into buyers as the market inevitably shifts.

    Delivery: Optional ongoing plans
    Price: From £45/month
  • Option 1 — 60-minute Consultation

    If you’re mostly happy with your website, our 60-minute Consultation is the perfect way to isolate the areas you’d like to improve and create a practical action plan to achieve your goals. First, we’ll research your brand so you don’t have to go over the basics in the Consultation, during which we’ll answer as many of your questions as possible, saving you the confusion and stress of trying to fix or optimise a live website alone. Following that, you’ll receive a report summarising our discussion, with resources and clear steps to improve your site.

After the audit, you’ll receive a report outlining precisely where your site could be improved, with an emphasis on conversion rate.

    • “Lumin designed something beyond my imagination”

      Lucian is a top-class professional with an eye for detail and outstanding creativity. He really brought my website to life. Communication was always there and he was never afraid to help and answer questions. I strongly recommend Lucian - everything has been 10/10 from start to finish.

      “Approaches projects with a strategic mindset”

      Lucian only builds websites that genuinely support your goals, avoiding cookie-cutter solutions made just to tick the "I have a website box". I helped Lumin with copywriting and I've never had anyone translate my copy onto a website so well. Lucian did a marvellous job; I'm so proud of the end result. He's a pleasure to work with, and anyone seeking a strategy-driven website will feel the same.

    Case study

    One of the biggest, most successful jiu jitsu franchises in the world? Let’s do it! In 2022, Alliance Jiu Jitsu Newcastle sought to streamline its operations while increasing memberships.

    By focusing on engaging, on-brand design, compelling CTAs, and SEO, we created an exciting hub that strengthened Alliance’s online presence, boosted sign-ups, and ultimately grew the gym.

    The result

    • More than 200 new sign-ups in 10 months (an increase of over 80%)
    • 4,750 impressions and 300 clicks per month on Google (6.3% CTR)
    • 7 website enquiries per month (and that’s just through the contact form)
    • Such a drastic increase in memberships that Alliance are looking for a bigger gym!

    This is a true Lumin story. While they were already an inspiring leader in their space, Alliance still dared to grow, to shine even brighter — and so they did.

    “After waiting 4 years to get a new website due to nothing being simple, Lumin was exactly what we needed.”

    Lucian gets to know the business and then puts his own spin on it. We've had loads of praise about the site and it also helped our business management. The design and quality are up there with the best and our sign ups have gone through the roof!

    “You’re bound to end up with a better website”

    The New Moon website audit helped me identify blind spots I had on my website. Both in terms of design and conversion rate, like CTAs and section placement. Lucian provided a ton of value in a short video. The feedback was on point and picked up improvements that I failed to see.
