Overview.

Home-cooked meals and a helping hand, online.

Carol’s Kitchen & PA Services is run by Carol, who helps older people stay independent in their own homes across Portsmouth and the South Coast. Carol prepares fresh, home-cooked meals in her clients’ own kitchens, caters for gatherings with vibrant fusion flavours, and offers practical personal assistant support, from hospital visits and chemist pick-ups to light housekeeping around the house.

Carol’s Own Food Photography: A full-width strip of Carol’s dishes, set on bold African print cloths and woven baskets, shows off her cooking from the first scroll.
Warm, Welcoming Design: Kitchen Orange and Charcoal with Warm Apricot accents, PT Serif headings and Noto Sans body text, all drawn from the caring hands logo.
Two Clear Paths: PA Services and Meal Support buttons sit right under the headline, taking families straight to the help they are looking for.
Easy to Get in Touch: A simple Contact page with Carol’s email and Facebook, linked from every service page, makes the next step an easy one.

The Challenge.

Showing families they can trust Carol at home.

Inviting someone into a parent’s home is a big decision. Carol needed a website that feels warm and personal, explains both sides of her work, cooking and practical support, in plain English, and reassures sons and daughters who may live miles away that their mum or dad will be safe, well fed and well looked after.

Building Trust Quickly: Families needed to meet Carol, hear from the people she already supports and feel reassured from the very first page.
Two Services, One Brand: Meal support and personal assistant help needed to sit side by side without confusing visitors.
Explaining Everyday Help: Hospital visits, chemist pick-ups and light housekeeping each needed their own clear, simple page.
Reaching Local Families: The site needed to speak to people across Portsmouth and the South Coast, including family members searching from further away.

The Results.

A website as warm as Carol’s cooking.

The new homepage opens with Carol’s caring hands logo and a clear promise, In-home Meal Support & Personal Assistant Services, with a button for each. A strip of Carol’s own dishes leads into her personal assistant services, kind words from the families she already supports, her meal support offer and four Why Choose Us cards covering home cooking, peace of mind, daily help and independence. Behind it, every service has its own page, all linked together so families can find exactly the help they need and get in touch with Carol.
