About Webalite

Our Story

After decades of building websites, Webalite’s founder, Mike Eastwood, had a blinding flash of the obvious: “nobody really wants a website – they want more traffic, more leads and more customers”. Yes, you still need a website, but the ultimate aim is to grow your business with less friction.

Following this revelation, HubSpot became an obvious fit. Webalite started its journey with HubSpot in 2016 and quickly became a Certified Partner Agency. Since then, the team have worked with clients around the world – including other HubSpot Partners – building integrations, customising the CRM, building HubSpot sites, and working with people to get the most out of HubSpot.

In 2022, Webalite was accepted into HubSpot’s App Accelerator. Here, the team created Portal-iQ, the world’s first fully automated HubSpot audit that runs up to 72 benchmarks to help you work smarter with HubSpot.

The Webalite Way

At Webalite we’re BIG fans of cooking. In fact, Mike Eastwood has been hosting Tuesday Night Dinners to share his passion for the culinary arts for over two decades! Because of this, food related concepts sneak into our terminology from time to time. Here’s a quick rundown on some terms you may hear us using.

Serving suggestion:
Our serving suggestions are concepts we have come up with which we think may help your organisation. These are often things you haven’t asked us to do but we've noticed and thought we’d suggest anyway.

Menu:
When working on a project, we may present you with a menu. These are a collection of serving suggestions where you can pick and choose what you would like us to work on next.

Recipe:
Our recipes provide details on how we’ve completed tasks before, what worked well, and any catches to look out for. We've created several recipes covering topics from across the business to help us recreate successful processes. We may write a recipe for you if we discover a more efficient way for your team to do something.

Teach you how to fish:
This saying is used in the context of implementing new strategies and systems. We could teach you how to fish, but sometimes that's not what you need. You may need fish and chips from the shop instead, or, a gourmet meal for 12. We are flexible in this way.

We often say that our Zoom meetings feel more like virtual dinner parties. We’ll bring the serving suggestions and the menu, and you get to enjoy what we've created. We are constantly tweaking our recipes to make things tastier for your organisation.
