Digital Presence
Helping ocean organisations, researchers, and projects build a digital presence that is clear, accessible, and easy to find.
Why your digital presence matters
For ocean researchers, businesses, and organisations, your digital presence is often the first - and sometimes only - impression people have of your work.
A clear, well-structured presence builds trust, increases visibility, and makes it easy for the right people to find you, understand what you do, and take the next step.

Researchers and ocean projects needing a professional website or updated digital identity
Organisations and businesses launching new initiatives or refreshing their online presence
Individuals building their professional profile across platforms
Teams wanting consistent messaging across websites, social media, and directories

FAQs
What does a digital presence project typically involve?
It depends on where you're starting from and what you need. Some clients come to us for a new or refreshed website. Others need help with their professional profiles, social media setup, or making sure their presence is consistent across platforms. We'll start with a conversation to understand what's missing or not working.
Can you help with just one element, like a LinkedIn profile or a social media setup, rather than a full project?
Yes. Not every engagement needs to be a full digital overhaul. If you need focused help with a specific element of your digital presence, we're happy to discuss a more targeted scope.
Do you work with individuals as well as organisations?
Yes. We work with individual researchers and professionals who want to build or improve their personal professional profile, as well as teams, projects, and organisations.
Can you help if we already have a website, but it isn't working well?
Yes. Refreshing or improving an existing presence is often more appropriate than starting from scratch. We can look at structure, copy, clarity, and visibility and advise on what would make the most difference.
How long does a digital presence project typically take?
It depends on the scope. A focused piece of work, like a profile refresh or social media setup, might take a few weeks. A full website build or broader digital overhaul takes longer. We'll give you a clear timeline after an initial conversation.
