Fiona Storey’s passion and expertise is, quite simply, “taking care of your business online”.
At Fiona Storey we design websites to get results, we host websites to make them perform at their best, and we maintain websites to keep them secure and functional.
So how did this come about?
At school Fiona’s best subjects were maths and art. But she loved animals and wanted to become vet, so forewent the chance to study art to A Level in favour of scientific subjects. The veterinary route was not to be, and Fiona took a degree in Agriculture at Edinburgh University.
After graduating and spending a gap year farming in South Africa, Fiona worked in the dairy farming industry, initially as a consultant and later selling milking machines in Scotland and the north of England. She became interested in what makes people buy, which led her to study for a postgraduate diploma in marketing. On completing the course her employer offered her the position of Marketing Manager, which she did for 5 years before moving to a marketing role outside agriculture.
By then Fiona’s artistic side, that had been more or less dormant since school, was re-emerging, she was itching to be the one designing the marketing material she was instructing agencies to do for her. So in 2007 she resigned from her job, purchased software that is the industry standard and learned how to use it along with the coding (which is where her penchant for maths now comes in useful!) and principals behind web design. Four years later she created her first site on the WordPress platform and was so impressed with it she has used it for all website design projects since then.
Now with a great team of people each having their own different skills, in 2020 Fiona decided to specialise in all things to do with websites. She had always provided hosting for her clients along with maintenance services for the WordPress sites she had created. But other people started to ask if she could provide these services for them. As a result we are now offering web design, hosting and maintenance contracts for WordPress websites as separate services.
