You’ve built the business. Let’s help it stand out.
I’m Jake. I create websites and advertising that make it clear what you do, why it matters and how to take the next step. Thoughtful design, clear messaging and a personal approach—from the first conversation.
With four years of business experience across banking, financial audit and social media, I understand the work behind a business. I bring that perspective to website redevelopment, ad creative and social media advertising, helping you communicate what you do with clarity.

WHAT I DO
Services
01
Website Development
I build new websites and redesign existing ones, specialising in redevelopment on your current domain. This means refreshing the design, organising your pages and presenting your business information clearly, so visitors can understand what you offer and easily find how to contact you.
I create the visual design and written message for your ads. This includes developing the idea, writing headlines and ad copy, and creating visuals that communicate your product, service or offer. This service focuses on what people see and read; setting up paid social campaigns is covered by Social Media Advertisement.
I help you plan and set up paid advertising on Facebook and Instagram through Meta Business Suite. We discuss who you want to reach, what you want to promote and the action you want people to take, then bring the audience, message and ad creative together into a campaign. We agree on the scope and advertising budget before starting.
A little of her name. At the heart of everything I do.
PERSONAL IN ORIGIN. SINCERE IN PRACTICE.
02 / A name with meaning
Named for my grandma. Built on sincerity.
Leathy takes its name from my grandma, Aleathea. That personal connection is the heart of this business.
The related name Alethea comes from the Greek alētheia (ἀλήθεια), meaning “truth” or “truthfulness”. For Leathy, that meaning is a guiding principle: show up honestly, communicate clearly and represent each business with care.
My mission is to help businesses express who they are through thoughtful websites and sincere marketing—honouring Aleathea’s name with honest communication, personal care and work that stays true to the people behind the business.
Sincerity means being genuine and honest in what you say and do. Here, it means straightforward conversations, thoughtful recommendations and a personal commitment to the work.
A head for business. A heart for the people behind it.
Good businesses deserve to be understood.
My background spans business banking, financial audit and social media management in a local community. Working alongside businesses showed me the effort it takes to build something—and how easily that effort can get lost when the marketing doesn’t reflect it.
That’s the gap I started Leathy to help close. With four years of experience, I bring a commercial perspective to website redevelopment, ad creation and social media advertising, with the person behind the business always in mind.
01
Business banking
A practical understanding of business priorities and the decisions owners face.
02
Financial audit
An eye for detail and a considered approach to understanding the whole picture.
03
Community & social media
First-hand experience of the gap between great local businesses and the way they show up online.
WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU
A conversation first. A thoughtful way forward.
I’ll take time to understand your business, explain my thinking clearly and shape the work around what you need. Personal service, grounded in commercial sense.
Can you redevelop my website on its existing domain?
Yes—redeveloping websites on existing domains is a special focus. Send me your current website address and what you’d like to improve, and we can discuss the best approach for your setup.
Can we work together if we’re in different locations?
Yes. Leathy operates remotely and works with businesses worldwide. We can arrange communication and project reviews around our locations.
What should I include in my first email?
Your business name, current website or social links, the service you’re interested in, and any timing or budget you have in mind. It’s fine if you’re still working out the details.
