I know itās pretty rare to see a founder's face so soon on a website template shop, but I really wanted to chat with you. And pretty quickly, youāll realise Wild Kind isnāt like other website template shops ā weāre personal.
And thatās because I personally know what youāre going through. Iāve been the struggling founder forever chasing freedom, wondering if it was possible for me.
It wasnāt long ago that I was the one on the other side of the screen, scrolling and hoping for the secret to business success.
While I canāt promise you overnight success or multi-6-figures in 12 months, I can give you the remedy to your freebie-addicted, forgotten coffee, ājust one more thingā business approach.
Because as someone whoās got a brain like a caffeinated squirrel (officially known as ADHD, but thatās way less fun), I know what itās like trying to build a business as a neurodivergent, introvert, industry newbie, or simply an overly ambitious individual ā because damn, this thing is hard no matter who you are.
Iām telling you with love that none of the shiny stuff your brain wants to gorge on will give you the freedom you crave. In reality, itās this mental mess and emotional overwhelm thatās dragging you away from what you truly need:
Clarity, commitment, and a solid foundation you can rely on when the going gets tough, (because it does get tough ā but itās nothing that you canāt handle) and thatās what Wild Kind and our templates provide.
Yes, itās hard work. Yes, youāll doubt yourself. Yes, it can be lonely and overwhelming. But achieving your personal dreams and having more freedom in your life is possible.
Our customers and community walk this road with us ā the highs and lows of business. Together, weāll move closer towards your lifestyle wishlist. Whether your idea of freedom is long Italian summers or staying at home with your first pup, weāll get you there.
My idea of freedom? Walking country roads with my pup in search of the best pub lunch. And now I get to do that every Sunday (or Wednesday ā thatās the beauty of entrepreneurship, eh?)
After falling out of a tree and breaking my ankle, I was forced to hit pause on life. Fueled by painkillers and a newfound motivation, I took a course on branding and was immediately hooked. I spent the rest of 2018 learning everything I could about running an online business.
I invested in a VA course to help me level up even faster, and started taking on freelance clients alongside my 9-5. After niching down my VA business to specialise in web design and strategy, I finally reached my āditch the 9-5ā goal and took the leap to go full time (best decision ever!).
I hired my first business coach to help me launch my template shop in March of 2020ā¦ right before the pandemic hit. I learnt a lot and made it work, but the year was definitely, wellā¦ a year.
After being diagnosed with ADHD, I realised I needed a slower pace of life to recover from burnout and went to live the digital nomad life in Crete. Turns out, sunshine, turquoise water, and location freedom make excellent therapy!
While 2022 wasnāt a year of flashy social media moments, it was a year of laying the groundwork for future growth. I took a pause from social media to focus on building even stronger systems and processes that power Wild Kind behind the scenes.
After years of dreaming about getting a four-legged companion, we finally adopted Bobo, the cutest Romanian rescue pup
(and made him a website, duh).
Since starting my online business, Iāve supported over 200 incredible creatives ā all while working from my home in the beautiful South West UK (mostly in my pjs if Iām being honest).
The Wild Kind template shop has just had a sparkly new brand refresh, and weāre constantly evolving to support you even better. Welcome to a new era of Wild Kind!
While Iāve *kind of* been picturing us chatting at the kitchen table, sipping spicy margs (my signature drink), I know thatās not why youāre here.
Youāre searching for the website template thatās going to make a real difference in your business without you having to sacrifice your savings or sanity, and youāre wondering which one is going to offer you stunning design, proven strategy, and a streamlined set up.
Okay ā yes it would. So, Iāll say this instead:
Paired with one-on-one implementation and customisation support (this is probably the only About Page youāll read that says I love troubleshooting, like really love it), Wild Kind templates mean ticking off your 3-page to-do list & (finally) getting the tough stuff done.
Iāve been in this industry since 2019, and one thing Iāve never understood is why some people try to make others bad for choosing to DIY. As someone whoās all about empowerment, Iāll always celebrate resourcefulness and ambition.
Donāt get me wrong, outsourcing is awesome. But trust me, thereās something super satisfying about doing things yourself ā especially if you like to understand how things work.
Instead of outsourcing your dreams, build the skills and confidence to tackle them yourself. That's the ultimate power move on your creative journey.
āWorking with Rachel has been a hugely uplifting experience. Not only has she designed me a website that is beautiful, easy to use and fully represents my new brand, she has also helped me to see my full potential and really believe in the success of my business.ā

āI just had the most successful launch Iāve ever had, and it was largely thanks to all the work and support Rachel gave throughout the process. Because of her Iāve totally fallen in love with my work and business again. She has completely revolutionised my business.ā
