What we do
Everything marketing, off your plate
Pick one thing or hand us the lot. No bloated retainers — just the bits you actually need.
02
Websites
A site that works as hard as you do. Quick to load, easy to update, built to bring enquiries in.
03
Content & social media
Posts, photography, captions and campaigns — so your business shows up consistently.
04
Get found on Google
When someone nearby searches for what you do, you show up looking credible — on Google, Maps, reviews and your website.
How we work
Slow and steady wins it
01
Get to know you
We sit down (tea encouraged) and learn what makes your business tick — and who you want walking through the door.
02
Make a plan
A simple, jargon-free plan you actually understand. We agree what we're doing and what it'll cost. No surprises.
03
Grow steadily
Like the frond we're named for, we unfurl slowly and surely. Steady, long-term growth — not empty marketing noise.

About Frond
A small studio, not a big agency
Frond is run by Joe and Amy, a husband-and-wife duo based in Welwyn Garden City. We started Frond to help small businesses get practical, good-looking marketing support — without agency layers, jargon or bloated retainers.
Joe
Marketing & strategy
Over 10 years of end-to-end marketing experience, working with small businesses across Hertfordshire as well as larger organisations and national brands.
Amy
Words & project management
The detail, copywriting, small-business understanding and project management that keep everything clear, considered and moving in the right direction.
Together, we help local businesses look sharper, show up better and grow steadily — local, hands-on and easy to talk to. The kind of marketing support that feels like part of your team, not another thing to manage.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Do I have to sign up to a long contract?
No. We work month to month or project by project, whatever suits you. No lock-ins, no bloated retainers — you can pause or stop whenever you need to.
What if I only need one thing?
That's completely fine. Pick a single service — just a logo, just a website, just your Google profile — or hand us the lot. We'll only ever suggest what genuinely helps.
How much does it cost?
Every business is different, so we don't do one-size-fits-all packages. After a quick chat we'll give you a clear, fixed price up front — so you always know what you're paying before we start. No surprises.
We're really small — are we too small for you?
Not at all. Small local businesses are exactly who Frond is for. If you're brilliant at what you do but haven't the time for marketing, you're in the right place.
Do you only work in Welwyn Garden City?
We're based in Welwyn Garden City and love working with businesses nearby, but we work right across Hertfordshire — and happily over email and video too.
How quickly will you get back to me?
Within one working day. You'll always hear back from Joe or Amy directly — never a call centre or a bot.
Let's talk
Fancy a free chat?
No pressure, no hard sell. We'll start by getting to know your business, your customers, the challenges you're facing and what really matters to you.
From there, we can talk through what's working, what could be better and where marketing might make the biggest difference — whether that's your brand, website, social media, Google visibility or a bit of everything.
