I do words, many of which you can find in articles on Website Builder Expert. Over the years, I’ve developed a knack for helping businesses tell stories through their marketing, be it crafting compelling emails to increase open rates or writing product descriptions that pop.

I’ve worked with a wide variety of companies, from established brands to early-stage startups. Whether it’s a short, snappy piece of copy or a long-form article, the end game has always been the same–to provide helpful insights that enlighten the reader.

Having a background in advertising has given me a unique lens through which to view topics. I love turning tricky subjects–like website security certificates and crafting a customer journey map–into easy-to-understand pieces of content that capture attention whether you’re reading at home or browsing while out and about.

After all, the reader is at the heart of everything I do.

Say hello on LinkedIn.Simon started penning content for Website Expert Builder as a freelance writer in 2023 and has already covered lots of different topics, from conversion rates to writing the perfect bio.

Beyond that, he’s been writing for a decade and has worked with a number of brands across B2C and B2B industries from all walks of life. His strength lies in his diversity, whether it’s articles for real estate, providing marketing content to restaurants and travel brands, or penning content about eco-friendly issues.

But Simon really loves helping brands and small businesses, offering actionable insights and making seemingly dull topics fun and engaging. His aim is to get you feeling confident about marketing your business so it can achieve success.

Outside of writing, he’s an avid reader. Fiction helps him tap into his creativity, while long-read journalism and news (especially on how emerging technology helps brands) keeps him up to date.

Ultimately, this all comes back to making sure his writing serves its purpose of helping readers. He says, “If just one person reads one of my articles and it solves a pain point for them, then I’m happy.

“But hopefully, lots of people read my content, especially on Website Builder Expert, and it empowers them to add another dynamic to their business.”
