Running a business is enough on its own. I take the whole online side off your plate and build it with you, in your voice. You stay in control and own everything at the end.
Free and no obligation. Replies usually within a day. No jargon, no lock-in.
Amy Garside Media is just me, so the person you talk to is the person who does the work, start to finish.
I have spent years helping people tell their story and find their voice and the longer I did it the more I noticed the same thing. Good small businesses held back not by the work they do, but by the noise around it. The website that never quite got finished, the social that went quiet, the sense that being online is one more job and never enough time for it.
That is the part I take off your hands. I work with a small number of people at a time, so you get real attention rather than a place in a queue and you deal with me from the first conversation to the day it is all yours to run. The headache goes. The control stays with you.
I am based in Dubai and work with businesses anywhere. Everything can be done remotely so wherever you are is never a problem.
Alongside this I make documentary films and voice work under Beyond the Expected.

I look at what your business is missing online, then handle it with you, start to finish.
An honest, full report on your current site. What is working, what is not, what to fix first and what could be made better. The simplest place to start.
So you know exactly where you stand.
A new site built with you and handed over, so you can run and update it yourself. Made with the latest tools and written in your voice.
So your website finally gets finished and stays yours.
Social posts, Pinterest pins, flyers and a consistent brand look across all of it. Made to be found and to sound like you, not like everyone else.
So the right people actually find you.
Optional ongoing support to keep everything moving, only if you want it. No contracts and no pressure, just a steady hand when you need one.
So nothing quietly falls apart after launch.
All in your voice and set up so you can keep it going yourself.
No long onboarding. You always know what is happening and why and nothing is ever locked to me.
We start with where you are now. I assess your whole online presence and tell you honestly what is holding it back.
I build or improve it with you, using the latest tools and your own voice, so it actually sounds like your business.
I guide you so you can run it yourself. You own all of it, you stay in control and I check in each month only if you want me to.
Optional extra, most people take it
Once your site is live I can film it into premium reels and mockups for Instagram and LinkedIn, the kind that stop the scroll and bring enquiries in. Most people add this. Some just want the website, and that is good too.
Ask me about itTwo client builds and a set of original concept sites. Every one designed, written, coded and animated from scratch. No templates.
Designed and built by me
My own documentary brand, built with animated headline type. This is the live site, playing right here.
Fiona Day, client project
An intuitive practitioner launching a new remote service. In one project I set the whole thing up. I pulled apart her existing website, wrote a simple plan, built her brand look, created her Pinterest pins and flyers, wrote her service page and handed it all over with a plain guide so she can run it herself.
Launching soon
Client project
A used car parts business that needed to feel fast and trustworthy. I built a bold ask and deliver landing page where a customer sends a part request straight to WhatsApp, coded from scratch.
Concept build
A breath work studio by the harbour. A calm misty site where the page breathes with you as you scroll, built entirely in code with no page builder.

A few things people usually want to know before they get in touch.
Yes, all of it. The website, the brand, the accounts and the files are yours. Nothing is locked to me and you can take it anywhere.
Yes. Every site I build runs over a secure encrypted connection, so visitors see the padlock in their browser and anything they send through a form stays private. I build in industry standard security protections and check each site against the recognised scanners before it goes live.
Yes, in the way that keeps you safe. I build your whole site by hand and make it beautiful, then connect a trusted checkout like Shopify or Stripe to handle the payments. Your customers pay through secure, established systems, so the money side is always in safe hands. If you want a full online shop we can plan it together and I will quote it for you.
Simple and split in two. For a website build I take half up front to get started and the other half when it is finished and handed over to you. Invoices are sent securely through Stripe. Website care is a flat monthly fee.
By card, through a secure Stripe invoice or payment link, in your own currency wherever you are in the world. PayPal is also available if you prefer it.
That is the whole idea. I build it so you can actually manage it and I hand it over with a plain guide so you can make updates without needing me.
Not at all. The monthly check ins are there if you would like a steady hand, but they are optional and there is no contract.
Most people start with a website review, then decide how far to go. The figures on the cards are a guide and I will give you a clear price before any work begins.
It depends on the size of the project. I will give you a realistic timeline at the start and keep you posted as we go. Most small sites are live within a few weeks.
That is fine. Plenty of people come for a single piece, a review, a new site or some content. We start wherever it helps most.
I am based in Dubai and work with businesses anywhere. All of it can be done remotely so wherever you are is never a problem.

A few lines is plenty to start. Where you are now, what is getting in the way and roughly when. I will come back with honest thoughts and a sensible next step.
