Website design & development studio

Websites worth being proud of.

You know your business. We take the time to understand it, then bring thoughtful design and clever technology together to build a website that looks beautiful, loads quickly, gets found on Google and makes sense to the people who matter most: your customers.

Introducing Elk & Squirrel

Good design and good development should go together.

You shouldn't have to choose between a beautiful website and one that works properly. We think you should have both.

There's a problem we see time and time again. A website can look brilliant on the outside, but behind the scenes it's slow, difficult to update or unnecessarily complicated to manage.

Then there are websites where the technical side works perfectly well, but the design looks dated, doesn't reflect the business and leaves people with completely the wrong impression.

Neither is what you should be paying for. At Elk & Squirrel, we bring those two sides together.

A website that looks and feels the way you want your business to be seen, built on technical foundations that support performance, usability and search visibility.

The elk

Development, performance & support

The technical know-how that turns a design into a fast, reliable website, and keeps it that way.

The squirrel

Creative direction, design & content

Understanding how you want to come across, and turning ideas that are hard to put into words into a design that feels right.

Measured with Lighthouse on effective-accounting.co.uk, a site we built, 7 November 2026. We'll share real figures for your own website too.

Creative range

Your website should look like your business. Not everyone else's.

Not every business wants to look the same, and we wouldn't expect them to.

We've worked on everything from polished, corporate websites to much more playful projects where the people behind the business wanted to see themselves brought to life on the page.

They're completely different ideas, but that's what makes the creative side of our work interesting.

The people behind Elk & Squirrel

Two different strengths. One shared approach.

We're Jamie and Kelly. We approach websites from very different directions, but we care about the same things: doing the job properly, paying attention to the details and creating something we're proud to hand over.

Jamie · Technical development

Jamie. The technical brain behind the build.

Jamie builds the site and keeps it working: code, integrations, performance and the systems behind the scenes. He's usually several steps ahead on what's possible, and he gets on with the job.

Kelly · Creative direction

Kelly. The person with all the questions.

Kelly asks the questions: why people choose you, what makes you different and how you want to be seen. She brings design, content and marketing together so the site feels like your business from the start.

Jamie knows how to build it. Kelly knows how to bring the business into the design. More about the two of us

So, how did Elk & Squirrel come about?

It wasn't something we originally set out to create.

We already had our own areas of work when a mutual client asked us to collaborate on a website project. We worked together, the project went well and that client recommended us both to another business. That led to three more pieces of work together.

Then the client shared a post about the websites we'd created, and we started getting more and more enquiries from people who wanted us to work together. It became obvious there was something valuable in the combination.

So instead of working together only when a project happened to bring us into the same room, we made it official.

Where the elk comes from

Jamie founded ELK Digital, specialising in website development, technical SEO and digital solutions. It has grown by building fast, high-performing websites for businesses of all sizes, and it's where the Elk in our name comes from.

Where the squirrel comes from

Kelly brings 11 years of marketing, content, design and business development. Jamie has always said she's like a squirrel, because one idea leads to another idea, which leads to another. So the squirrel is Kelly.

Our work

Websites for the OnPoint Accounting Group, and more.

A collaboration from before Elk & Squirrel had a name: Kelly Revell created the designs, and ELK Digital brought them to life.

What our client said

Kelly Revell did an amazing job of visualising and designing exactly what I was looking for. The team at ELK Digital then brought those designs to life brilliantly.

Johann also described the finished result as three fast, well-performing websites the group is proud of. Full wording to confirm with Johann
