You’re looking to get a new website or rebrand, but don’t know where to start

Too many businesses waste time and money rushing into projects with web agencies and designers. They often pick the wrong partner, or skip the groundwork. The result? A site that’s full of guesswork, poorly structured, and doesn’t reflect who you are or what your customers need. McLaren&Co. avoids all of that, so your investment in branding and web actually pays off.

Talk To McLaren&Co. First

We don’t jump into logos or layouts.

We start by helping you work out exactly what to say, how to say it, and how your business should come across, so you show up in a way that makes customers choose you over the competition. Then we manage the whole process – branding, structure, content, wireframes, search engine optimisation (SEO), imagery, web design and development – so it all just flows.

  • No guesswork.
  • No spiralling budgets.
  • No endless revisions.
  • No expensive re-do’s.

What Clients Say About Us

“Before working with McLaren&Co., we’d never properly marketed ourselves as a business, despite trading for over 40 years. We knew our website didn’t reflect who we were anymore, and we needed hands-on support to guide that transformation. Lisa brought structure, insight, and energy to the project, from the branding and messaging right through to the new website. She completely understood what we needed, so much so that we didn’t request a single change to the final site, which speaks volumes. We had a high-quality lead on day one of launch, which we’d never had from our old site. I’d gladly recommend Lisa to anyone the advice, support and expertise she’s provided has been invaluable.”
Ian OmantManaging Director, Watson
“Lisa is quite simply the best in the business! She was professional and personable, and really listened to our needs. She helped us understand our marketing goals and produce a brand and website we feel really reflects us. While being incredibly talented and experienced herself, Lisa’s partnership model gave us the confidence to know that we had industry experts working on all aspects of our project. Lisa has a fantastic network of people, who were all a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone… Working with McLaren&Co. felt like a true partnership, and we couldn’t be happier with the output!”
Charlie MynardCo-founder, Charity Horizons
"Lisa has been unbelievable in helping me with my rebrand and website. She has gone right back to the start, thoroughly understanding me and my business, where I've come from and where I want to take it, and has built and driven the rebrand and website from there. Nothing has been too much trouble, everything has been top quality, no detail has been too small. I would recommend Lisa and McLaren&Co. to anyone looking at their brand and website."
Joe RoughtonFounder & Director, JRCo.
"Building a brand new website is daunting and has many facets. The language to be used, the look and feel, optimising for SEO etc etc. Lisa came highly recommended and that was well deserved. She spent time to understand our business and our customers, held our hand through the whole process, acted as a project manager, introduced us to other 'experts' and made this build a pleasure. If you are considering a new website then you MUST get a meeting with Lisa, she's a star."
Howard KlinebergManaging Director, North East Heating Solutions
"I couldn’t recommend Lisa more. As a small recruitment business, we were struggling with ideas on how to market our services offline and create some marketing collateral to hand out. Lisa was amazing in helping us with our brochure's content, design and overall production. She took the time to listen to the messages we wanted to get out to our clients and was able to put together something that we couldn’t be happier with."
George WalesManaging Director, The Healthcare Hub
"Lisa has been excellent! She's really responsive. I detest marketing and most professionals we have worked with haven't really hit the mark, but Lisa is really knowledgeable and suggests things that are useful rather than wasting lots of money!"
Vicky NewhamFounder, Venture Tax
"Lisa is all about delivery to a high standard. She will take a brief, understand the big picture and then execute at speed. Lisa is a clear and logical thinker - this enables robust planning, good communication and then delivery. Lisa is also a great person to work with."
Andrew WilkinsonChief Operating Officer, ISS
“Lisa is a skilled and experienced marketer. Highly organised and passionate, she is truly invested in making a success of any project she tackles. Leading from the front, she takes the time to understand the task at hand – offering practical and creative solutions. She has a real skill in making complex propositions easy to understand, and while highly focused and a true professional, Lisa is down to earth and a pleasure to work with.”
Nick GregoryChief Marketing Officer
"Lisa demonstrated her wide-ranging strategic and operational communications knowledge and application throughout a two-year global facilities management (FM) transformation programme with Unilever and Sodexo. Lisa was instrumental in facilitating successful partner communications across the joint teams in multiple languages which was also recognised with FM industry awards. Lisa was never afraid to roll her sleeves up to work at operational level to ensure strategic messages were brought to life at all levels across regional, country and local organisations. A real team player who always brings a smile and humour to every situation!"
Mark BrownhillProgramme Manager, Sodexo

Frequently Asked Questions

Because most websites flop when there’s no plan. This is the bit a typical web agency doesn’t really do in detail.

If you dive into design and development without knowing what to say, who you’re talking to, or what your website needs to do, it’s easy to end up with something that looks nice but doesn’t work.

McLaren&Co. helps you get clarity first: we define your message, structure your pages, and write all your content, so when you go into design or development, everything flows and nothing gets lost in translation.

You don’t get passed between teams. And you’re not left to work it all out on your own.

With McLaren&Co., you work directly with our founder, an experienced marketing and brand consultant who’ll guide you from the very first idea through to launch. We handle the strategy, content and planning, and bring in trusted partners like designers, developers and photographers to work on your project.

You get hands-on expertise, not layers of process. It’s a more personal, more thoughtful, and much more effective way to do your website or rebrand.

Everything a web designer or developer needs to avoid second guessing and endless revisions.

  • A clear, strategic sitemap.

  • Full search engine optimisation (SEO) strategy.

  • Page-by-page content written for you.

  • A full message map tailored to your audiences.

  • Content guidance for visuals, CTAs and navigation.

  • Wireframes to show how it all fits together.

  • Full project management of the design and build phase.

Yes, we’ve done that on many projects, and they’ve said how much we’ve made their job easier.

McLaren&Co. can work right alongside your existing creative partners. We’ll give them everything they need to bring your site or brand to life, from the structure and copy to guidance on tone, layout and functionality.

If you don’t have a developer yet, we can recommend people we trust and manage the process for you.

No. If you’ve already worked on your brand and feel confident in how you come across visually, you might not need a rebrand. In that case, we can focus purely on planning your new website, clarifying your message, structuring your content, and writing every page.

It’s all about making sure your website reflects your business as it is today, whether that means a rebrand or just a refresh. I’ll help you work out what’s needed (and what’s not).

Not at all. While I’m based in Leeds and love working with local businesses, I also work remotely with clients across the UK.

If you’re looking for someone who’ll take the stress out of your website or rebrand, and give you a clear plan that works, location isn’t a barrier.
