About Katie Brown, Founder of soKate Studio
Strategic Web Design by Katie Brown, for Female Founders.
I'm Katie Brown — the founder of soKate Studio, a web designer, SEO strategist, and brand builder based in the UK. I work exclusively with female founders, creatives, and service businesses who want to show up online with confidence, rank on Google, and attract the kind of clients they actually want to work with.
My Story
I started soKate Studio because I kept seeing the same problem: brilliant female founders with incredible businesses, but websites that didn't reflect their expertise, didn't rank on Google, and weren't converting visitors into clients. I wanted to build a studio where women could work directly with the person shaping the strategy, design, and SEO behind their website.
Most web designers treat a website like a piece of art. I treat it like a business asset. Every site I build has strategy at its core — from the information architecture and copy to the SEO foundations and conversion pathways.
Having worked with female founders across the UK in industries from luxury wellness and beauty to legal services, coaching, and creative agencies — I understand that your website needs to do more than look good. It needs to work.
That's why every project starts with your business goals, not a design brief. I want to understand who you're trying to attract, what makes you different, and what growth looks like for you. Then I build a website that reflects that — beautifully, strategically, and with SEO built in from the very first page.
I'm also a Base44 Founding Ambassador — one of the first specialists in the UK to build custom business applications on the Base44 platform. If you have an app idea or a workflow problem that existing software doesn't solve, find out more about custom app builds.
How I Work
Strategy Over Aesthetics
Beautiful websites that also convert and rank. Every decision is guided by your business goals, not just visual appeal.
Founder-Led, Always
You work directly with me — never an account manager or junior designer. Your project gets my full attention from start to finish.
SEO-First Thinking
Every website I build is optimised for Google from day one. Visibility isn't an afterthought — it's built into the foundation.
Female Founder Focus
I specialise in working with women-owned businesses because I understand the unique challenges and ambitions that come with building one.
