The Process
Step by step, I make it easy.
Hi, I’m Lou,
I’ve spent over 20 years helping organisations build their digital presence. And I am so passionate about helping charities.
The people behind these causes pour everything into helping others, often leaving little time or energy to focus on their own visibility. Think Violet exists to change that. I take the stress out of websites and create online spaces that truly represent the difference charities make.
Every project matters to me because I know the impact a strong online presence can have: more support, more funding, and more lives changed for the better.
In life I'm a Mum to a 10 year old and we live in Cheshire with our bunnies! I'm also a school governor and a trustee for The Neuro Therapy Centre, Chester
About Think Violet
About Think Violet
Helping Charities Shine Online
Think Violet helps small and medium charities create websites that truly reflect the heart of their cause.
Charity leaders are busy. Between fundraising, service delivery, and managing teams, there’s rarely time to focus on a website. With over 20 years in the digital industry, I know how challenging it can be to build an online presence that really works.
That’s where I step in. I design websites that work hard for your charity. Each site is purposeful, intuitive, and sensitive to the needs of beneficiaries, funders, and supporters. It’s about connecting emotionally, building trust, and making every penny of your budget count.
Why I Do This
I started Think Violet because I care deeply about community and the work charities do. I want to help organisations tell their stories, attract support, and reach the people who need them most. Every project I take on is guided by empathy, collaboration, and purpose — because your mission deserves more than a standard business website.

Website magic
A well-crafted website can be transformative for a charity because it becomes far more than a digital brochure — it becomes the engine that drives connection, trust and support. For many beneficiaries, funders and supporters, a website is the first place they go to understand who you are, what you do, and why your work matters. A clear, human-centred site can turn curiosity into belief, and belief into action. It gives charities the ability to tell powerful stories, showcase impact, and invite people into a mission in a way that feels personal and immediate.
And that’s exactly what I create. I take the time to understand your charity, your beneficiaries and your goals, then design a website that speaks to the heart of your mission. I craft intuitive user journeys, meaningful content and layouts that build trust, increase visibility and make every penny work harder. My aim is simple: to give your charity a website that amplifies your impact and helps you reach more people who need you.
The Wix Platform And Your Hosting
It’s also mobile-friendly, ensuring your supporters can connect with your cause wherever they are. Plus, its scalable platform grows with your organisation, making it a long-term, reliable solution that adapts as your charity evolves.
Above all, it's simple for users to understand it and to manage their own websites once it's gone live.
I also include post-launch training on Wix (included in the cost).
and your hosting is an ongoing cost that is managed by Wix. I help you to choose the right option, depending on which website functionality we have used.
Why I use the Wix platform for your charity website
Wix combines flexibility, ease of use, and professional design, making it the perfect choice for charities of any size. Its intuitive drag-and-drop editor allows us to build a visually striking website quickly, while still tailoring every detail to your charity’s mission and audience. Wix handles the technical side: hosting, security, updates, so you can focus on engaging supporters and delivering impact.
With Wix, your website can easily incorporate donation tools, event registration, newsletters, and other integrations essential for a charity, all without complex coding.
