Website Design for Ethical Small Businesses
You didn’t start your business just to make money.
You started it because you care about how you work, who you work with, and the impact you have along the way. Ethics matter. People matter. And you’d quite like a website that reflects all of that without turning into corporate fluff or cringey sales tactics.
Ethical small business websites have a tricky job. They need to build trust quickly, explain what makes you different, convert the right people (and that's not everyone), and still be manageable when you’re juggling clients and everything else.
Too many values-led businesses end up with websites that are either:
-
Too vague and woolly
-
Too “salesy” and uncomfortable
-
Or technically fine but completely disconnected from who they actually are
At Web Goddess, we design and manage websites for ethical small businesses who want clarity, confidence and credibility – without selling their soul or losing their voice. Strategy first, plain English always, and ongoing support so your website doesn’t get abandoned the minute things get busy.
If you want a website that works and feels right, you’re in good company.
WE KNOW...
Ethical businesses need different websites too
Being values-led doesn’t mean being vague – and it definitely doesn’t mean hiding what you do.
Ethical small business websites often need to:
-
Clearly explain why you do what you do
-
Build trust with people who care about ethics, transparency and integrity
-
Avoid pushy sales tactics without becoming invisible
-
Support long-term growth, not quick wins at any cost
We help you strike the balance between purpose and practicality – so your website supports your business and your values.
Fantastic company. Great customer service, listened to what was needed, provided really useful guidance based on their extensive experience. Extremely flexible to meet the demands of the business in terms of staff training. Provided an on site visit to help with a techy question and staff able to visit their base to receive excellent training. Thank you so much Holly and your colleagues. Would highly recommend.

WHY US?
Why ethical businesses choose Web Goddess
Strategy before Style
A good-looking website is useless if it doesn’t guide people properly. We focus on structure, messaging and user journeys so your site does what it’s meant to do.
No salesy nonsense
We won’t force you into tactics that make you uncomfortable. Ethical doesn’t mean ineffective – it just means being intentional.
Built for real people
Whether it’s just you or a small team, we build websites that are realistic to run, update and maintain without needing a developer on speed dial.
Long term support
Websites aren’t static. We offer ongoing management, improvements and SEO/social media add-ons so your site grows with your business.
We actually give a shit
We work with businesses who care about people, planet, community and doing things properly – because that’s how we run our own business too.
