Meet Shirley. Locally Rooted, Globally Conscious.
My Story
My Story
I'm a local (and proudly “mature”) web designer, and Certified Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere Guide. I live in the wee village of Dailly, near Girvan, just ten minutes drive from the West Coast. I build websites that work brilliantly for people and tread more lightly on the planet we share. I aspire to work with local farm shops, craft makers, guest-houses and more.
A tough patch in life, which started during Covid, nudged me to rethink the work I was doing and why. During those tough 5 years, I learned patience, resilience, and the importance of really listening to what felt right or wrong; to what brought me joy and to where there was resistance.
In the late Summer of 2025, I accidentally stumbled on the uncomfortable truth about how much energy a typical website uses, and it changed everything. I realised I could bring together the two things I care about: good design and genuine care for our environment.
Now I specialise in fast, low-carbon websites that run smoothly even on slower rural connections, and reflect the sustainability values of the craft makers, cafés and small enterprises of the Biosphere region.
Living and working in the Biosphere means I understand the local realities and the pride we take in doing business the right way.
My job is to make your online presence feel authentic, efficient and easy. No jargon, no overwhelm, just a site that matches your values and helps your business grow.
If you’d like a website that feels good, works fast, and treads lighter, I’m here to help.
My Mission
My Mission
To make sustainable web design accessible to everyone, especially the independent businesses that give our region its character.
I want to show that sustainability online isn’t about being perfect or technical. It’s about making better choices: hosting with renewable energy, resizing images, simplifying code, and understanding your site’s impact. Each step saves energy, reduces costs, and makes your website faster and more enjoyable for visitors.

The Low-Carbon Web Collective
The Low-Carbon Web Collective
Wee Media is part of a growing movement of local businesses proving that performance and sustainability belong together.
Across the Galloway & Southern Ayrshire Biosphere, cafés, craft makers, and small enterprises are re-thinking how their websites work. Cutting digital waste, improving speed and showing that values and technology can coexist.
By joining the Low Carbon Web Collective, you’re choosing to measure what matters: faster pages, lower emissions, greener hosting and more inclusive design. Every project I take on adds another voice to a simple belief: good websites shouldn’t cost the earth.
