Websites and Online Presence for Ocean Projects
Build a clear, accessible online presence that helps people find, understand, and engage with your work.
Why your online presence matters
Your website, profiles, and other online channels are often the first places people encounter your work.
Visitors need to understand quickly who you are, what you do, why it matters, and where to go next. If the information is unclear, inconsistent, inaccessible, or difficult to find, important audiences may leave before engaging further.
A well-planned online presence brings your messaging, content, structure, and visual identity together so people can find the information they need and take the next step.

FAQs
What does an online 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?
Yes. Not every engagement needs to be a full digital overhaul. If you need focused help with a specific element of your online 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 online 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.
