Glebe House Designs

Glebe House Designs started with our holiday let, Glebe House. I was looking for creative ways to decorate our home which reflected our combined passions; the British countryside and head-turning interiors. You are also able to stay at Glebe House where you can experience the rural inspiration for the business.

Victoria had an existing website on Wix but it had reached its full potential and started to look dated, moving to Shopify meant that she could benefit from a platform that eats, drinks & sleeps e-commerce.

This site features:

  • Made to order & in Stock
  • Personalisations
  • Newsletter Sign up forms
  • Bundles
  • Bespoke Page
  • Stay with us page - linking to airbnb

Tess is simply wonderful. I can’t recommend her enough. She is kind, patient and very talented. I struggled with sharing my vision for the site and where we’ve landed is better than I could have imagined. It’s stylish, simple and yet has the quirks that you want to show off professionalism and a high class brand. She stuck to budget too which is no mean feat and something I’m very grateful for. If you use her to build your website, you won’t be disappointed.

Paloma Lilly had an existing Wix shop and a strong Google score. With an upcoming own-brand candle launch, Pauline wanted her website to reflect her high-end brand.

Maintaining a Google score is a challenge, it's normal for search results to dip slightly when you go live with a new site but we managed to get Paloma Lily ranking highly again.

This site features:

  • Subscriptions
  • Local & national delivery - with different criteria
  • Message section for gifts
  • Delivery calendar
  • Gallery

 

Cannot recommend Tess enough - her patience to help us self-serve maintaining our new website is a standout plus point - not to mention her ability to make website look so beautiful!

Corrine Roberts the founder of Lulu & Boo had been managing the sales of her jewellery via her Facebook and Instagram accounts.

After an initial meeting, we decided that a Shopify store was the right e-commerce platform.

In terms of design, Corrine wanted her store to have a light and simple layout with good navigation. We worked together on ideas for the homepage images, which I feel turned out really well.

Site includes:

  • Newsletter sign up pop up
  • Marketing emails
  • Instagram page linked to Corrine's account
  • Bespoke Jewellery Image gallery

 

 

"Tess produced a fantastic e-commerce website for my jewellery business which is beautiful to look at, functional and easy for me to use going forward. Customers always comment what a professional site it is and how easy it is to navigate. Tess was so easy to work with. She listened to my requirements and style ideas and transferred these perfectly into a site I am delighted with. She assisted me to work with her on aspects of the site construction I could do myself and gave me detailed instructions on how to update the site going forward. I cannot recommend her service highly enough."

Poornima had an existing shop through Square Space but found the template limiting and wanted to move platform to Shopify. The basic and bought templates available in Shopify were still quite limiting. Shop owners often find themselves in the position where they have to compromise on design in favour of a fast, secure site with lots of options to add on services via apps.

I have designed a website that is light and easy to navigate, the colours i've chosen really make the products really sing, you can almost smell the soaps!  I'm really please with the main slider, I wanted to move away from text overlaid on images which is something that Shopify has set up as standard and is so often misused. too often the images fight for space with the text and either one gets lost or it can look really cluttered.

Poornima lives in the states so we had lots of calls at 5GMT / 9 PST, it was a really pleasure to work together and i'm going to miss our calls.

"I found Tess by researching a lot online and found that she had created a website for another soap maker, which was STUNNING. So, I reached out to her for a "meet & greet" and instantly loved her!! She has this calming persona and truly listens to what you need and creates it for you. Tess, thank you SO much for helping me out! You were fabulous to work with & I'm SUPER happy with how everything turned out!"
