Family Business Websites with Jammy Digital
Should You Hire A Website Designer or Design Your Website Yourself?
In this podcast episode, we’re talking about your family business website. I’m chatting to Martin and Lyndsay, a husband and wife team, who run Jammy Digital – a WordPress Web Design Agency.
A website isn’t just a ‘shop window’, it is a tool that can generate leads and sales 24/7. Unfortunately, a lot of family businesses don’t realise the potential of their websites, and they’re often left abandoned or under-utilised.
In this episode, we tell you how you can use your website to its maximum potential. We discuss…
- When to spend money on a web designer
Spending thousands on a website isn’t always the best option. In fact, Martin and Lyndsay recommend that you only invest in a website designer when you’re most likely to see a return on investment. In this episode, we discuss when to invest and when to build your own website. And the discussion may surprise you!
- Mistakes that family businesses make with their websites
There are some common mistakes family businesses make with their websites, which could have an impact on sales. Family business owners have a tendency to make their websites about them and their family, which is of course, important, however, this does mean that there’s a lack of focus on the potential customer. In this episode, we discuss the common mistakes family businesses make with their websites and how to fix them.
- What to do if you’re on a budget with your website
People often think they must spend thousands on a website in order to get good results, but often this is not the case. Actually, it’s the work you put into the website once it’s live that makes all the difference. So we also discuss what to do if you’re on a budget with your website and how you can still get the most out of it.
- When to redesign your website
A website redesign is time-consuming and costly, so you need to be careful about how often you do it. We also discuss how often you should redesign your website, or what you can do instead to see if you can increase leads and sales through your site.

About Martin and Lyndsay
Martin and Lyndsay are a couple of WordPress web designers who create high-performing websites their clients can be proud of.
They’re also married, but Lyndsay didn’t fancy Martin’s surname because she can’t actually pronounce it. It’s ‘Huntbach’ for anyone who wants to have a go.
They are human slaves to their cats, Muggles and Minnie (Lyndsay is a Harry Potter fan). And they’ve recently had a son called Lucas (Martin is a Star Wars fan). Lucas rules the roost in their house and can often be found interrupting their podcast recordings when he fancies some food.
