Hi, I’m Leah.
I live in Babcock Ranch, Florida, and I design and build websites at Utu Nanna Studio. You’ll work directly with me, from the first conversation to the finished site.
It started with a website of my own.
When I launched my business, I thought the website would be one of the easier parts. It turned into months of learning.
I learned about writing, design, search, accessibility and all the small decisions that help someone feel comfortable buying from a business online.
As I worked on my own site, I started noticing things on other websites: services that were hard to understand, useful details buried out of sight, or a booking button that was difficult to find.
That’s the work I enjoy now. Getting to know a business, finding what matters to its customers and putting it together in a way that feels right.
I also run Aureline Wellness, my own Shopify store. It keeps me close to the day-to-day work of looking after a website once it’s live.
I start with the person visiting.
What are they looking for? What do they need to know? What might make them hesitate?
Those questions guide the words, the layout and the features we choose. We’ll talk through the decisions together so you understand why they’re there.
What it’s like to work together
When you work with Utu Nanna Studio, you work directly with me from start to finish.
I’ll be the person asking the questions, designing the pages and building the site.
We’ll agree what you need, work through the details together and keep the project manageable.
Depending on what your project needs, I can help with:
- Strategic website planning
- Custom design
- Search engine optimization (SEO)
- Mobile-first performance
- User experience
- Speed and accessibility
- Booking, payment, and business integrations
- Ongoing support after launch
Whether you need a brand-new website, a redesign or ongoing support after launch, you’ll always know who’s building it — and why every decision is being made.
My process
You’ll see the work as it develops, with clear points to give feedback and agree the next step.
- 01
Discovery
Start with the business, not the homepage — who it’s for, what it sells, and what’s already working before anything gets redesigned.
- 02
Design
Direction, layout and language, built around your real content from day one. No lorem ipsum, no placeholder logos.
- 03
Build
The stack follows the job rather than the other way around — static HTML, Shopify, or React, chosen for what the site actually needs.
- 04
Launch & grow
A written handover checklist, not a hand-off — plus the SEO and structured-data work that gets a new site found.
Why Utu Nanna Studio?
Every brand deserves its own light.
That’s the idea behind Utu Nanna Studio.
Your business has its own story, its own way of working and people who care about it. I want that to come through on your website.
That’s what I aim to do with every project.
A few questions you might have
Here’s how pricing, timings and support usually work. If there’s something else on your mind, you can ask me directly.
Most projects run from about $1,000 to $6,000+ USD, depending on the scope — how many pages there are, whether you need a store, and what has to be integrated.
You’ll receive a detailed proposal with a fixed price before anything starts, so you’ll always know exactly what’s included.
Most websites take 4–8 weeks, depending on the size of the project and how quickly content and feedback are provided. Larger or more complex projects may take longer, but you’ll receive a timeline before work begins so you know what to expect.
Most projects require a deposit before work begins, with the remaining balance due at agreed project milestones. Everything is clearly outlined in your proposal, so there are no surprises.
The number of concepts and revision rounds is set out in your proposal before work starts, so it is agreed rather than assumed. A revision adjusts an agreed direction; a brand-new direction after approval is additional scope, and I will tell you before doing it.
Timely access, content, decisions, and one person who can approve things. You’ll also need the rights to any logos, text, images, and fonts you provide.
Most delays happen because we’re waiting on content, so the more you have ready, the faster your project moves.
Yes. We can work with the words you already have, or I can help you write them. You’ll review the copy as we go so it sounds like your business.
Yes. I can help with colors, type, imagery and wording so the website feels consistent with your business.
Sometimes. Every project starts with the same comprehensive website audit. That tells us whether your existing site can be improved or whether rebuilding it will give you a better long-term result.
If a repair is the right answer, that’s exactly what I’ll recommend.
Yes. In most cases your existing domain can be connected to your new website, so your customers can continue using the same web address.
Yes. Many of my clients are based in Southwest Florida — Babcock Ranch, Cape Coral, Fort Myers and Naples — and I also work with businesses across the United States and internationally, including the United Kingdom. Everything can be managed remotely through email and video calls.
No. I also help businesses improve their online presence through website strategy, SEO foundations, conversion improvements, website audits, integrations, and ongoing maintenance.
I work across several industries. I’ll start by learning about your business and your customers, and we can decide whether I’m the right person for the project.
AI can be useful for a first draft or for building parts of a site. You still need to decide what your customers need, check the information and make sure everything works together.
That’s the work I take on with you: understanding the business, writing the pages, designing the site and checking the details.
Yes. Once your project has been paid in full, the website is yours. You own the custom website built for your business, along with the content, branding, and assets you provide or that are created specifically for your project.
You’re free to continue working with Utu Nanna Studio, manage the website yourself, or have another developer maintain it in the future.
Ongoing services such as hosting, domain registration, maintenance, support, premium software licences, and future updates are separate from the initial website build and may have their own ongoing costs.
Reusable studio tooling and components built into the site stay mine, and you receive a perpetual, worldwide license to keep using them as part of your website. The full detail is in the Terms.
Absolutely. You’ll be able to update text, images, blog posts, and other content yourself. If you’d rather not, I also offer ongoing care plans so you can leave everything to me.
You’ll receive a complete handover, so you’re never locked into working with me. If you’d rather not worry about updates, backups, security, or ongoing improvements, I also offer optional website care plans starting at $99/month.
There’s no obligation — you can choose the level of support that works for you.
If you’re on a care plan, I’ll investigate and fix website issues as quickly as possible. If you’re not on a plan, support is available at my standard hourly rate.
Every website is built with a strong SEO foundation, including clean code, crawlable pages, XML sitemaps, structured data, fast loading speeds, and pages designed around your services and locations.
Nobody can honestly guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. What I can do is build your website the right way and give it the best possible chance of being found.
Absolutely. Every website is designed to work seamlessly across desktops, tablets, and mobile phones, with a strong focus on speed, usability, and accessibility.
Tell me what you’re working on.
A few lines about your business are enough to start. We’ll talk through what you need, and I’ll put the scope and price in writing before any work begins.
