Hello, I’m Lara Knight and I’m glad you’re here.
Perhaps we’re meant for each other 🙂

As a freelance designer/writer, I help creative businesses build or grow their online presence without the high costs of a marketing agency.

Design and advertising have been my wheelhouse for 30 years (through industry-changing computer graphics and a weird new thing called the internet). My career began in 1991 with a communication degree; fell into seven years with a busy design studio in Brisbane; then moved through Melbourne advertising agencies, art direction and freelance design.

Along the way I grew and sold a couple of online businesses.

A slightly winding path to a valuable combination of skills including graphic design, website design, content production, social media and digital marketing.

I now focus on websites but am happy to advise in other areas. Sometimes it’s helpful to have someone watching for growth opportunities and I often email clients with marketing suggestions.

Small business is busy in all directions but it’s hard to thrive without effective marketing.

The Cicada offer is simple. Great work, easy communication and people you trust.

I’m your head designer and main contact in Fremantle, Western Australia, and I’m supported by a small offshore team that grows or shrinks to suit your project.

Cicada delivers small business web design in Perth, Fremantle and beyond. We met a Melbourne client recently when he passed through WA, but we’ve been managing his website and marketing for 8 years! Distances are huge in Australia but the right online team covers you anywhere.

When creatives collaborate, everyone wins.
