Smart Consult LtdDirector
Feb. 2018 - Mar. 2023I operate under Altitude Design and run a hybrid offering of web design/development combined with online marketing. I help clients by drawing on my real life experience of running a successful eCommerce business in one of the most competitive industries online - Mobile phone accessories. I work with clients to not only design and build them a brand new website but go a step further. I help them get customers in the door. My personal belief is that these services go hand in hand when it comes to selling any product or service online. I am in a unique position to be skilled in both of these areas and can offer clients a more holistic approach without having to hire multiple people.
UK Smart Shield LtdDirector
Aug. 2016 - Jan. 2020I was the owner and sole director of Smart Shield. A mobile phone accessory eCommerce brand. I built this company from "taking a punt" selling some overseas sourced mobile phone accessories on eBay. I quickly figured out how to rank number one on the platform and before I knew it I had around 150 orders per day. I then took it a step further and build a brand. Smart Sheild. This lead me down the path to selling on Amazon to which again I became the number one seller for a couple of products in my inventory doing around £1,000 in revenue per day. The next step was having a website. I set this up on the Shopify platform which lead me down the web development route and was really my first steps into this field. At the same time I learned online marketing - namely Facebook ads so that I could actually bring traffic to my site. After some trial and error I built the website up to doing around £1,500 in revenue per day. Key tasks I did in this business were: . Branding . Web Development/Shopify Liquid . SEO . Facebook Advertising . Amazon PPC . Google Adwords . Customer service . Fulfillment . Leading a small team of Virtual assistants
