On Monday morning I opened my computer to find an email from The West Country Women Awards to say that I’d been nominated by Julia from Parent Carer Forum Devon for an award.
I feel very touched that Julia took the time to write this nomination and over the moon that she feels my work for her organisation has had such a significant impact. These are her words:
Vicky Perry is the owner of I Make Websites, a Devon-based WordPress website designer who combines exceptional digital skills with a genuinely human, approachable way of working.
Vicky specialises in creating websites for individuals, small businesses and charities that are easy to use, easy to update, and built to last. What truly sets her apart, however, is not just her technical expertise, but the way she takes time to understand the purpose behind each organisation, translating complex ideas into clear, engaging digital spaces that truly reflect their values.
Over the past year, Vicky has designed and built three separate websites for different aspects of our work. Each has had a significant and measurable impact—strengthening our professional reputation, improving how we connect with partners and the public, and enabling us to share high-quality information in a way that is accessible, clear and engaging. The difference her work has made to how we are perceived and how effectively we communicate cannot be overstated.
Vicky provides clear, practical advice on wording, structure and digital options, empowering her clients rather than overwhelming them. She brings warmth, patience and clarity to a process that many find daunting, and does so while maintaining the highest professional standards. She consistently delivers work that attracts the right audiences and supports real organisational success.
In an industry that can often feel impersonal, Vicky is refreshingly different. She is friendly, thoughtful and collaborative – “not what you expect from a website person” – while being absolutely reliable and highly skilled. Her work demonstrates how powerful digital expertise can be when combined with empathy, insight and a genuine commitment to her clients’ success.
Vicky Perry is a shining example of a woman who has mastered the digital landscape and uses her skills to help organisations tell their stories, grow their reach, and thrive.
The next step is for me to tell the Awards judges more about me, my business and why I do this and maybe I’ll make it to the quarter finals?!
