Welcome to the Show
Welcome to today’s 1230 TWC Business Beat Radio Show podcast!
Sadly, our fabulous friend Sian Murphy couldn’t join us today due to a broken foot – wishing you a speedy recovery, Sian 💐.
But what a treat we had in the studio – I was absolutely thrilled to welcome KEREN LERNER. It’s been far too long since we last caught up, and having her live on the show was a real joy.
Meet Keren Lerner
Keren is the Founder and CEO of Top Left Design, a boutique branding and web design agency in London. Since 2002, she has helped hundreds of businesses across different industries create websites and content that reflect their true value.
With her strong background in design, storytelling, and strategy, Keren leads a talented team who specialise in creating emotionally resonant, bespoke websites. She’s also an inspiring speaker and trainer in personal branding, content marketing, and LinkedIn strategy – all about helping people show up online with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
Top Tips for Web Design Success
Keren shared some of her insider wisdom on what makes a great website and why bespoke design really matters. Here are her highlights:
Clarity beats complexity – Simple, clear messaging always wins. Confused visitors don’t convert.
Your website is never “done” – Treat it as a living, evolving part of your business.
Design with empathy – Consider how your audience feels when they land on your site.
Don’t hide your personality – Let your voice and values shine through – people connect with people!
Consistency builds trust – Align your website, social media, visuals, and messaging.
Embrace continuous improvement – Small, regular updates can lead to big results.
LinkedIn matters – Your profile and banner are your digital first impression. Stay active to stay remembered.
Celebrations & Shout-Outs
Of course, we had to celebrate Keren’s 50th birthday 🎂 – what a milestone! Thank you for sharing your favourite music picks with us too, Keren.
And as always – sending BIG HUGS across the globe to our listeners everywhere.
