Website Update for Nicola Hughes Consulting
Nicola Hughes Consulting has become Nicola Hughes Consulting Ltd. After almost two decades and the completion over one hundred projects for dozens of clients, the creation of a more formal company for the business is a testament to Nicola’s success.
We’re delighted to have finished a major update to nicolahughesconsulting.co.uk.
About Nicola Hughes Consulting Ltd
Nicola works with councils, police forces, social enterprises, healthcare bodies, community members and private businesses to help deliver projects and outcomes for the benefit of communities regionally and nationwide. Based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Nicola has an excellent reputation in Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire but has also worked nationally.
We have known Nicola for many years and feel genuinely privileged to be asked to work with and for her. Nicola’s areas of expertise are sobering. Much of her work involves countering and relieving the effects of domestic abuse, drugs and alcohol and building community safety. Fortunately, Nicola herself is a pleasure to work with. She is alert, competent and cheerful – it’s a business relationship in which it is easy to contribute.
Given the subject matter, this not a website for bells and whistles. Rather, the emphasis has been placed on the quality of the content. We have used some modest CSS transitions to drive some user engagement but nothing more.
We were lucky enough to work with Spring Tide, who helped Nicola generate high-quality text. Images were a particular challenge: the anonymity of many of the projects’ end users is paramount. So we carefully sought images from several image libraries, ensuring we had sign-off from recognisable models’ faces. Some AI-generated images have also been used.
Changes for 2024
This project was not just about reflecting the business’s new limited status. Nicola also wished the website to offer new client services and an enhanced case studies section. Further:
- We have added downloadable resources. When users request files, the website prompts them to leave contact details to help the new company build its mailing list.
- We have installed mailing list management software to help the company manage these new contacts in a GDPR-compliant fashion.
- We have legal documentation and documentation sitewide.
- We also provided updated E-mail footers – MS Outlook made this quite a challenge.
Finally, we secured the entire site with Cloudflare’s turnstile protections to keep spam to a minimum and boost site speed.
What Did the Client Say?

I love the website. You have managed to make it very me in terms of the aesthetics and showcases my offer and work clearly.
