Website Designer for Small Businesses

Hi, I’m Jacquie Robertson, founder of JR Digital Design.

I’ve worked in design and digital for over 30 years and alongside creating websites for clients, I also genuinely enjoy teaching and supporting small business owners to better understand their websites.

As a former College Lecturer and part-time Pilates Teacher, teaching has always been a huge part of what I do.

The JR Digital Academy was created to provide practical website training in a way that feels clear, supportive and easy to follow.

No complicated language. No feeling left behind. Just real-world guidance based on years of experience working with small businesses.

Whether you want to update your own website, improve your blog, understand SEO a little better or simply stop relying on someone else for every small change, the Academy is designed to help you build confidence at your own pace.

Why I Created The JR Digital Academy

Over the years, I’ve worked closely with my clients long after their websites have launched — helping them update text, add images, and create blog posts.

And I started to notice something…

I was teaching the same things again and again.

  • The same questions.
  • The same frustrations.
  • The same lack of confidence when it came to managing their own websites.

That’s what inspired the JR Digital Academy.

I realised there was a better way to support more people — not just my one-to-one clients — by creating a step-by-step course that teaches everything clearly, properly, and in a way that actually makes sense.

I’ve always loved teaching. I used to be a College Lecturer, and alongside my design business, I’m also a qualified Fitness Professional — so guiding people, breaking things down, and building confidence is something I genuinely love.

The Academy brings all of that together. So you don’t just end up with a website. You end up understanding it, managing it, and feeling confident using it.
