*Monday reminder for all Catapult graduates!*
Looking for a fresh view on what you’re up to? Join us for your catch-up call this afternoon.
Never been before? We’re now six cohorts strong! This makes the catch-up an excellent opportunity for networking as well as bringing your thoughts, ideas and challenges to the table.
You don’t need to come with questions or thoughts prepared for these sessions. Previously we’ve found that hearing others talk through their plans can often spark an idea for your own portfolio career, and it’s always nice to see what others have been up to. This session is also a great place to set accountability for your goals.
Looking forward to seeing you at 4pm UK time!

Hey Sodeeq, this is a great first step and it’s wonderful to see how you’re working with Riyike too! I’d suggest that the more information about each of your services would be great to have ”below the fold” on your homepage so that users can get to know what you offer quickly. Once this, your blog and your contact us pages are in place then you’ll have the framework to launch with and build from. At a later date I’d love to see some testimonials too or a…
-
Monsuru Sodeeq I think a picture of you and the mention that you are currently writing a book would be good additions!

Would love to get some feedback – https://www.demandgrowth.co/

I love the Flying Start concept and the clean clear approach you have with the single page site. The spots of colour along the side work really well (but watch the blue one because it cuts off when Flying Start comes in), but my favourite bit is the merging of creation, development, creation etc in the initial section.
-
Great website Conrad Young as we discussed in Catapult. I like the composition of the spacing now. One thing that is still missing for me is the CTA to ”learn more” above your fold – where it can take me to schedule a call/demo. Good way for you to capture your leads earlier on.
-
Conrad Young smart site! I like. However when I click on a face it takes me to social not to book a call. And then when I realised I could click learn more I also couldn’t straight away book a call. Also, do you need all three of you at that front end for new enquiries?
-
Hi Conrad Young. Your site looks great and is very slick and smooth to navigate. I think it communicates your services and ethos very clearly. I found that it didn’t open up an option to contact you when I clicked the faces or ”Schedule a call” at the bottom.
-
Thanks for the feedback Natalie 🙂 Schedule a call definitely needs to be fixed you’re right. Will be getting on that soon!
-
-
Hi Conrad Young – site still looks great! I like the clarity through simplicity. Know it’s still evolving as you had mentioned you were adding all your own links etc. I still prefer the mobile scrolling to desktop scrolling, possibly because it’s one column so it flows through each of you and therefore mirroring your service process? Great work either way
-
Cheers for the feedback Janis. Interesting to hear that mobile is preferred, my cofounder is on team mobile while I’m defo for desktop. Will be good for him to hear he has support 🙂
-
We’re starting to take more of a ”mobile first” approach with the changes we make to our site and the platform, so this is interesting to read Conrad Young Janis Chan!
-
I wont lie Lexi Radcliffe-Hart, mobile focus is definitely the way to go. I’m just a sucker for desktop (probably because my smartphone is so small haha)
-
Hazards of previously looking at web design, I am always pro responsiveness and at the time React but times have moved on! What smart phone do you have that is small?! Conrad Young
-
Haha, it’s an iPhone SE Janis Chan. Got it free from my last time full time gig and haven’t been pushed to replace it yet
-

-
Great site Conrad, it is very professional, tells me very concisely what you do, and does what it says on the tin. ! However needs some tidying up..
The call to action is confusing, I tried to ”click on a face”, and all it did was present me with a set of icons, would be great to have a ”Hi I am …. what can I do for you ?” Together with a short bio and a message ”would you like to arrange a call, etc’.” after which I am presented with. a ca…
-
Hi Damien, all very good points – thanks very much for your feedback. We are in the process of adding in case studies and will be fixing the call buttons shortly. Endorsements behind the names is a great idea also!

Thanks so much Lexi Radcliffe-Hart – you can find me on http://www.gameplanlifecoaching.com and would love to see you all there and feedback gladly welcomed, it’s a constant work in progress 🙂
-
The site is really well constructed and full of useful information (and great SEO juice I’m sure!) – but the bit that made me the happiest to see – your story, and the values you play by – such a great way to show it and I can see how you’re reflecting your brand style between socials and your site now – interconnected storytelling at its best!
-
yay, thanks Lexi, I keep thinking about how to improve it, I’m glad you enjoyed 🙂
-
-
Wow – great to see so many changes (and improvements) from your first site launch Nicola Twiston Davies, goes to show how websites are always an iterative process. Love seeing the testimonials on the homepage. This is a very personal preference but I like the copy above the fold (before you scroll) to be punchy and minimal. Where it tells me what the service is quicker and if I am interested then I will scroll to get more info.
-
You’re so right Fiona, it’s changed alot! That first line has been trouble for me as I totally agree with you, I’ll add it to my to do list 🙂
-
-
Fab website @nicola. For me, and this is tiny, the home page and the logo are close and sometimes overlap on my window which just unsettled me! About page story is great but I did find myself wanting a little bit more detail on your background. But that might be personal preference.
-
Thanks Laura, I used to have detail on my background and I thought I’d switch it up with this but I agree, I want to add a bit more to it in terms of achievements etc so thank you for the nudge and the formatting point too!
-
-
Hi Nicola Twiston Davies – I love your site and your concept! I particularly like how the tone and design really show your personality and unique offer. One very small thing I noticed when scrolling through was that the first part feels very personal – it speaks to how you can help individuals. Seeing the quotes with logos directly underneath jarred with this slightly for me. I completely understand why you’d want to put those up front, but I wonder what difference it would m…
-
subtle, thanks Natalie Tucker I see your point! I will swap for sure 🙂
-
-
Hi Nicola Twiston Davies – I love your story, site and concept too! Definitely shows your self brand. Similar to Laura – on the mobile site, the logo overlaps the top bar (fine on the web version). On the same line of thought as Natalie but depends on who your target is, wondering if you favour individuals over organisations or vice versa? For me as an individual it works but if I was looking in my previous role in corporate, it would not hit me straight away that team building is c…
-
Thanks Janis Chan, I really appreciate you taking the time, I can see the team building/workshop part isn’t so clear. May I ask what phone you use as I’m on an android and I’m not seeing the logo problems on the header! I’m going to add ’write a book’ onto my to do list 🙂 thank you!
-
Hey Nicola Twiston Davies, I have an android phone – Samsung (but I work on a mac and PC!). Attached view on my mobile for you – it’s minor and think you may have changed that landing page so the jigsaw piece isn’t at the top anymore? Doesn’t everyone want to write a book!
-
-
-
Hey Nicola Twiston Davies – really love this site. It’s got such a warm personality to it and flows really nicely. What website builder did you use for it? I’m personally a sucker for CTAs that have some zing. I wonder if there’s a way you could style ’book a free call’ to align with the character of your site?
-
Hi Conrad Young – thanks for the feedback and really pleased to hear you like it 🙂 I built it all on Wix! Agree on the CTA, I had ’build your plan’ before but would definitely like something more playful although I also didn’t want the message to get lost. Will gladly welcome suggestions!
I had a look at yours, I really like it too, especially the rolling hero image words at the top. Not sure if it’s been said but the icons on the images to get in contact ar…

Hi all, hope I’m not too late to the party on this one, and thanks for the prompt Laura Thomas and Lexi Radcliffe-Hart. I’ve finally got round to updating my website, following some really useful feedback from my cohort. Would love some thoughts on the latest version (which is a constant work in progress!): https://fledgeconsultancy.com/
-
hi Natalie, big fan of the simplicity of your site, it feels lovely. Mine is mainly formating – the alignment of the ’Consultancy’ and ’Capacity building’ plus the ’Case Study’ button don’t flow so well . Can you centre the button or perhaps give a background to the Consultancy and capacity building descriptions
?
-
Great idea re background for that part, I’ll definitely play around with the formatting. Thanks so much for taking the time to look Nicola Twiston Davies
-
-
Hi Natalie! I agree with Nicola, I love the simplicity and clarity of your site, and your choice of colour, the orange plays beautifully on the white space and really speaks to potential and growth. that said I think you could do more with your birds in places to connect the different sections, not necessarily a full background as such but maybe just dropped in here and there to help the flow and connectivity. But that may just be me – I love birds 🙂
-
Thank you Caoimhe Kelly, so helpful to get some more creative eyes on my site 🙂 Will see what I can do with the birds!
-
-
Never too late Natalie Tucker! One thing from me, if you can ”fix” the top menu so that when you scroll you can still access the menu points in a desktop browser. Really love the white space and clarity the site brings.

I’m really looking forward to catching up with you there, Raka De and perhaps you too James Bebbington?

My afternoon session of how quickly can I write a proposal, tells me the answer is not very!
So I’m afraid I’m going to have to duck out this week. There in a week!

Hi Darren, I’ve just re-added you to the invite so you should have an email come through shortly. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hi Claire – I think my email is mangling the invite – or something has gone wrong – can you just send me the zoom invite via email – [email protected] and I can sort out the meeting side of things afterwards ?
