Overview
The brief
A public speaking coach needs a website that does what he teaches: command the room, tell a story and end with a clear call to action.
Nick coaches leaders and teams on communication, energy and performance: workshops for leadership teams, 1:1 executive coaching and speaking at events. The site distils all of that into one promise, delivered like the opening line of a keynote: confidence in communication, energy in leadership, performance at your peak. One scroll takes a visitor from that hook, past the brands he has worked with, through his story and services, to booking a strategy call.
The challenge
What was in the way
Before the redesign, the analytics and the feedback agreed:
- Visitors could not tell within seconds who Nick helps and how.
- Four overlapping offers (team workshops, executive coaching, wellbeing and event speaking) blurred into one.
- Credibility lived in testimonials nobody scrolled far enough to find.
The approach
How we got there
-
Positioning first
Workshopped the audience, promise and proof before any layout work began. The result is the three-line headline that now opens the site.
-
Built like a talk
Hook, credibility, method, call to action: the promise up top, the logo wall as proof, then “Hi! I’m Nick” and three clear ways to work with him.
-
Designed for the stage
A near-black backdrop, spotlight photography of Nick mid-talk and mint headline type. The site feels like the front row of a keynote.
-
One clear action
Every section resolves toward the same solid teal button: book a strategy call. Nothing competes with it.
On screen
The site, up close
Dark stage, one spotlight. The whole site runs on a near-black backdrop with teal headline type, so Nick, and the single solid call to action, are the brightest things on screen.

In their words
Stefan is much more than a highly talented and innovative creator and designer.
What stood out to me is his care for his clients and the amount of attention and detail he puts into each project, and more significantly, each person. He is a fantastic listener and takes all of your vision on board before working closely alongside you to make your ideas come to fruition. In my case he created two websites which far surpassed any expectations I had.
I had big goals for my projects and business but I needed help with direction and strategy alongside the creation itself. He provided all of this in abundance, providing me with outstanding guidance throughout the process, before creating exceptional results.In truth I didn’t know exactly what I needed, or what “great” looked like for me, until he showed it to me! I was absolutely delighted.
