Frequently Asked Questions
-
M & Co Creative is an independent design studio based in Cardiff, South Wales, run by Katie. I work with female founders, small business owners, solopreneurs, and established service providers across the UK and worldwide. A huge portion of my clients are mums and neurodivergent founders who need a high-end brand and website built without spending months on endless emails or agency communications. I operate entirely online, so we can work together wherever you are based.
-
A VIP Intensive is a done-for-you service compressed into dedicated, full-day sprints. Instead of paying an agency for a drawn-out 3-month project with hidden fees, you book 1, 2, 3, or 4 dedicated VIP Days at a fixed rate of £650 per day. During your booked day(s), you are the only client I am working with. I handle strategy, copy writing, design, and technical SEO back-to-back so you get a launch-ready brand or website in days, not months.
-
Because it completely eliminates decision fatigue and project drag. As a mum of two and an ADHD diagnosis, I know you don't have time to manage a 12-week agency project around school runs and client work. The VIP Day structure gives you complete focus: we do a bit of upfront prep, have a 30-minute kick-off call on the day, and then I build everything while you simply stay reachable for quick feedback. You don't have to manage me, chase me, or think about the project outside of our agreed time slots.
-
It’s entirely your decision, I am a strategist, designer, and messaging expert under one roof, which means you don't need to juggle three different freelancers. I write your website copy alongside you using a brand voice questionaire, I can either use your existing branding or build you a custom brand identity, build your Squarespace site, and set up your technical SEO. Everything is handled together so your messaging, design, and search presence tell one cohesive story.
-
Both. If you’re a brand-new business, we can build your brand identity and website from scratch in a 2-to-4-day sprint. If you’re an established business with an underperforming website or an outdated Canva brand, we can use 1 or 2 VIP Days to execute a complete visual rebrand, site redesign, or SEO overhaul.
-
My primary platform of choice is Squarespace. It allows me to build bespoke, editorial-grade websites that stand out from templated designs, while giving you an intuitive dashboard and interface that you can actually use to manage your site easily after launch. For existing businesses requiring specific setups, I also work with Wix and Shopify.
-
We decide your exact scope on your free discovery call so there are never any unexpected costs. As a general guide:
1 Day (£650): Perfect for smaller, high-impact builds. Ideal for a 1–4 page custom website, a mini-brand refresh with a 1-page site, a standalone strategy deep-dive, or a full SEO overhaul.
2 Days (£1,300): A full visual Brand Identity OR a strategic custom website (5–8 pages) with built-in SEO and copy support.
3 Days (£1,950): A comprehensive custom website (8–12 pages) OR the "Brand + Starter Site" package (Full Brand Identity plus a 1–4 page website built side-by-side).
4 Days (£2,600): The Total Transformation: Full Brand Identity and a 5–8 page custom website built together from scratch under one cohesive strategy.
-
Yes, every website build includes a personal video walkthrough tutorial showing you exactly how to update text, swap images, add blog posts, or edit portfolio items. You also get 4 weeks of post-launch email support so you can ask questions or request minor tweaks while you settle in.
-
All website projects include strategy, structure, design, copy support, SEO foundations, and guidance on next steps. Each package is designed to take the pressure off and leave you with a site that’s clear, aligned, and easy to maintain.
-
Yes, but my approach goes far beyond basic keyword stuffing. Every website I build includes built-in SEO foundations. For established businesses that are happy with their current visuals but lack search traction, I offer a dedicated SEO & Growth Strategy package. This ensures your site is technically optimised, structurally sound, and discoverable across traditional Google search as well as AI and LLM recommendation platforms.
-
Yes. Every website I build includes built-in SEO foundations as standard, keyword-optimised site structure, page metadata, image alt text, mobile optimisation, Google Analytics connection, and submission to Google Search Console. If you already have a website you love but aren't getting traffic, I offer a standalone 1-Day SEO Overhaul Intensive (£650) to fix your technical setup and get you found on Google and AI search tools.
-
The Growth Partnership (£450/month) is a 1-on-1 monthly retainer strictly capped at two founders at a time. It gives you 4 hours of my dedicated strategic and design time every month to handle site updates, launch graphics, fresh landing pages, SEO tracking, and ongoing marketing strategy so your business keeps its momentum post-launch.
-
It’s a relaxed, zero-pressure chat around school hours. We’ll look at where your business is currently at, discuss what you need, figure out how many VIP Days your project requires, and make sure we’re a great creative match. No pushy sales pitch—just a clear roadmap of what working together looks like.
