The person behind the brand

I'm Will, founder of Kelso Creative. Fully self-taught, obsessively driven, and here for one reason: to help your business win.

I started Kelso Creative because I saw too many businesses getting let down by cookie-cutter websites that looked decent but did nothing. No strategy behind them, no understanding of what the business actually needed. I knew I could do better. Not just build something beautiful, but craft something that genuinely moves the needle. Every project starts with strategy. We identify what your website needs to do before we decide how it looks. We research your competitors, study what is converting in your market, and build a bespoke plan around your goals and KPIs. Then we make it look incredible.

Our values

Fountain pen and handwritten notes on lined paper

Every project starts by asking what the website needs to do, before deciding how it should look. Pretty without intent is a portfolio piece, not a tool. We research your buyers, study what is converting in your market, and build a bespoke plan around your goals before a single pixel gets drawn.

Hands typing on a laptop with a second monitor in the background

Bespoke code over templates. Engineered performance over surface gloss. Standards stay the same whether the project is two weeks or twelve.

Team collaborating around a wooden table with laptops, warm interior

No project managers between you and the work. You speak to the person designing and shipping the build. Quick replies, plain language, no jargon.

Strategy, design, build, and AI automation, delivered as one team, not five agencies. Every engagement uses the mix of disciplines that move the numbers for your business.

The process

From audit to revenue.

Three stages from a first call to a launched site. The same rhythm runs every project regardless of tier.

/ 01

Free growth audit

We review your site, your current SEO and AI visibility, and your customer journey. Within 48 hours you receive a written audit laying out the three fastest levers to pull, with the numbers. Yours to keep, whether you hire us or not.

48 hours · Worth £295 · No cost

/ 02

Design, build, launch

We redesign and build your site from the ground up and target the SEO keywords and locations you want to own. No templates. When we hand over, every lead path is already tested and already working.

2 to 5 weeks, depending on tier

/ 03

Measure, scale, repeat

Monthly reports in plain English. Quarterly strategy reviews. Continuous tuning across the site and SEO foundations. We double down on what converts and kill what does not, measured against the numbers from your audit.

Ongoing · 30-day rolling

What clients say

Where do I even start! To say that Will has turned my vision into reality would be an understatement. We waited almost 3 years to build our website due to the scale and creativity of our vision. What Will has created is quite literally perfect, and I will be eternally grateful for not only his skill and precision but his nature and communication throughout the process.
