About Emma · Website designer in Melbourne
The person behind EMMAGRAPHy
Emmagraphy is one person: Emma. She designs websites for small businesses, then looks after them and the things connected to them, so you've always got someone to ask.
A Little about me
From the law library to websites
I grew up in the country and moved to Melbourne for uni, where I completed a Bachelor of Business in Information Management.
From there, I spent years working in a law firm library, researching, answering questions and organising information so people could find what they needed. It's also where I first started dabbling in websites. Turns out, making information easy to find and understand is a pretty important part of a good website too.
Along the way, I started a crochet shop on Etsy and grew an Instagram account to over 5,000 followers. That taught me something I still tell clients today: followers don't automatically turn into customers.
Photography came next, and with it a whole new appreciation for how much good images can change the way a business looks and feels online.
I also started my own blog, which had me learning more and more about website design and how everything worked behind the scenes. Eventually, a friend asked me to build a website, word spread, and one thing led to another. Emmagraphy welcomed its first client in 2021.
These days, I help small business owners create websites that are easy to find, easy to use and actually work for their business. And I'm still here after launch, helping them make sense of the tech and get the most out of their website.
Oh, and I love a good coffee and a chat. So if you've got a website question (or just don't know where to start), pop the kettle on and let's talk.
“Websites turned out to be the same job I did as a librarian. It's just organising information in another way.”

Working with Emma
What you can expect
You'll work directly with me.
From our first chat to the little updates years down the track, it's always me you're dealing with. No account managers, no being passed from person to person. Just someone who knows you, your website and your business.
Things explained in everyday words
If something's technical, I'll explain what it means for your business and why it matters.
Honest advice
Sometimes the answer is a few fixes, not a new website, and you'll hear that first. If what you need isn't something I offer, I'll say so.
Someone still there afterwards
After launch, I'll can keep looking after your website, so the person who built it is the one you call.
The bigger picture
Everything is connected
Your website, your Google listing, your emails and your social accounts all lead to the same place. When they're set up at different times by different people, they stop helping each other.
Emma's job is to make them work together: one clear website at the centre, and everything around it pointing back to it.
Not more digital pieces. Better
connected ones.
In their words
“From the very first conversation, Emma understood my brand, my audience and what I wanted my website to feel like, not just look like. I now have a website I'm proud of.”
