Inspired creativity + technological expertise
In this digital age it can be hard to cut through the noise and reach the people who need you most – and we have loved helping a growing selection of mission-driven ventures do that. I believe that there are many opportunities and tools that can help you reach out in a powerful and authentic way. It might feel virtual, but the world’s need for you in this space has never been so real. Have a peek below at the work I’ve been privileged to do. I’ve had the chance to work with many outstanding entrepreneurs and organisations, nationally and internationally, and have built a diverse selection of sites from authority-business sites and first websites, to expansive information sites with complex data architecture, to e-commerce, knowledge-commerce and directory websites.
EDUCATION | Language Specialist & Coach
Meet Kerstin Wandel Kommunikations – a Berlin based company specialising in the teaching of English language and culture to German-based businesses. With marketing funnel strategy and Knowledge Commerce capabilities, KW transition from the arduous and time consuming work of in person workshops to the power of automated E-learning.
I am absolutely blown away by how Mits has turned my ideas into something tangible and concrete (not to mention beautiful). I have gone from despairing and feeling constantly overwhelmed to a, "WOOHOO, it's really gonna happen!!" She explains matters in a way I can understand and creates a pathway for me to work along. I am a fan! Mits knows her stuff and is the person you want by your side when venturing out into business.

EDUCATION | Personal Development Platform
Meet DeNoodle. A personal development platform that enables start-up or marketing-new coaches to step into Knowledge Commerce and promote their businesses. With Learning Management, Membership, Directory Listing, Blog and eCommerce functionality all built-in, this website even autogenerates a professional webpage from the directory listings so that individual coaches without their own websites can have a web-presence and web-page to build their credibility.
EDUCATION | Historical Education-Based Charitable Trust
Dedicated to the preservation of the history of farming in Yorkshire, Murton Park launched their Landing Page website, that was specifically designed to lead visitors to their ticketing system and brought in over £20K in sales in a single day and over £65K in a single campaign. And with the tech set up and running on auto-pilot, their numbers will not to stop. This is the power of digital marketing done right.
Working with Mits has been nothing short of amazing. From the get go she really understood our brief and brought our vision to life. She created a beautiful website and integrated a ticketing system for our Christmas event. The whole process was made so simple for us and everything was explained in a very user friendly way. We would fully recommend her services to everyone. Over 65K was generated which all in all I would say was a fabulous return on investment!

EDUCATION | Positive Progress
Meet Positive Progress, who provide innovative, online staff training pathways in mental health and wellbeing for schools and other organisations working with children and young people.
I cant even put into words how amazing Mits is. I just knew she would "get it" - she somehow intuitively gets what I'm trying to say and creates a vision and a brand that stands out. Not only is she a creative genius and an all-round lovely person but she has tirelessly tweaked things, let me think about how I want something to appear, let me alter wording, change buttons, play about with how it looks. She is absolutely on your team. She is absolutely who you need to create your vision.

Positive Progress
Frances needed a highly informative new website that could compete with the London-based agencies. We also designed for her a single landing page allowing clients to get in touch and book onto her Summer 2019 Workshop. Within 7 days the course was SOLD OUT generating a R.O.I of 48.6%!
Mits Griffin provided a hands on personal service that was exactly what I needed at the right time. She was incredibly flexible and worked around my time constraints and gave me really practical advice concerning my website. She certainly has a talent for this which is fabulous.

EDUCATION | CIO Preschool
Meet Marygate Preschool – an OFSTED outstanding preschool and a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Marygate needed a bespoke professional website that would showcase the charities expertise and ethos while highlighting the duality of being child-orientated but parent-supportive. Struggling to market and fill places within a year of their website launch they have reached 95% capacity.
We looked into developing a website but found ourselves completely overwhelmed. Mits came by recommendation and we have been very surprised with how quickly she was able to take our ideas and create our site. Mits you are amazing at understanding what we wanted without us being able to describe it. Feedback from families and professionals has been very positive and it has generated numerous enquiries which has in turn increase our occupancy! We are more than happy!

EDUCATION | Art School
Meet Seek Art School, a newly launched school in York. Seek Art needed a highly customised and bespoke E-commerce website so that their students could book courses online while presenting a portfolio of all their courses, classes, workshops and expertise in one place. Being creative directors, Seek had an extremely specific design brief and we had great fun as they contributed to every aspect of their site.
Mitsgriffin has been a gift to us - I doubt if we could find the same personal level of service anywhere else at any price! She’s very quick to respond to and fix issues that arise (we’re on her support plan) and she listens and explains things well without alienating or baffling us with techy-speak. She really understands the importance and impact of a well put together website and is so supportive of our work. Not to mention all the positive comments we’ve been getting from our clients when they go online to find out more – here’s a message we got recently that made us smile: “What a fab website, I’m not in least bit artistic but it made me want to come along!

Mits has taken a complex world & broken down the elements into universally accessible parts. She provides the ingredients to create a wonderfully personal recipe for online success. Mits really helped me rethink my online presence and see beyond a functional website. Taking the time to really understand my business and the people I serve, she created a wonderful online experience designed around my authentic story and my clients. It's made a huge difference to my business. I couldn't recommend Mits more.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT | Fitness Coach & Therapist
Meet Shaun Sutcliffe – a LED Light Therapy and Deep Tissue and Sports Massage specialist. After the success of launching his business last year, Shaun expanded into the highly progressive and novel field of Light Therapy. Pioneering this technology in the UK, Shaun needed a website re-design to faithfully represent his expertise and promote him as one of the leading LED Light therapists within the UK.
I needed someone who was trustworthy who would not pull the wool over my eyes. There’s plenty of people out there who are making promises but just can’t carry it through. Mits is absolutely NOT in that category. You’ll not meet a more genuine and honest business woman. So helpful, knowledgeable and full of integrity! I have absolutely no issue in recommending Mits to anyone.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT | Parish Church
Meet Clifton Parish Church – a Church of England Parish, situated in the North of England. Clifton Parish needed a bespoke website that could bring them out from the past, and into the new season with boldness and hope. With a desire to support communication both internally and externally, improve admin efficiency and reduce unnecessary workload, as well as promote a diverse range of activities and events to a wide audience, we created some innovative web-aspects, including a dedicated Youth Website to gather and activate all believers for the Kingdom.
We asked Mits to redesign our Parish website. We found her to be excellent - she came with her own ideas (which we needed) but she was also interested in hearing ours. She kept us in touch throughout the process - we felt very included. She went above and beyond in terms of time and effort. Once we launched, she has remained in touch which has been great. We would recommend her highly - very professional, extremely competent and very sensitive to our needs.

Thank you Mits for a great job.

Goodbye dear unfinished D.I.Y. Wix website – and hello WordPress.

Mits Griffin is great to work with. I am not at all technologically minded and found getting my head round a website a challenge. Mits came up with the ideas and delivered very quickly. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a website.

WELLNESS & HEALTH | LTD Homelessness Charity
Meet Restore, a York based charity, on the mission to stamp out homelessness and the social injustice it creates. With the heart to create greater impact, Restore, needed a new website built on the latest technology that aligned with their mission and the needs of those who would use it. The new website needed to assist supporters, collaborative organisations and tenants to hear success stories and see impact, to easily access the information and support this work and to get in contact appropriately. We built a brand new website from the ground up with a custom design to portfolio success stories, campaigns and team members. The new website also enables visitors to download referral forms and make online donations securely with credit card and Gift Aid with the option to even automate their giving.
We used Mits to redesign our charity website and we are absolutely thrilled with the end result!
I'm a complete novice when it comes to designing and building websites, but Mits was professional and approachable throughout and she guided us through the whole process really well. The regular communication as we tweaked the design was really useful and the final product is something we're really happy with. We'd have no hesitation in recommending her to other people.
