Welcome to The F Word: A Whyfield Podcast
We’re switching up the Whyfield ‘W’ to something fresh… because Why the ‘F’ not?

Join us each week as host Laura Whyte – a business mogul in her own right – chats to an amazing roster of guests about their business journey, lessons learned along the way, and tips for success.
Did you know that the south west has around 45,000 registered businesses on Companies House, and that’s just the Limited Companies, so that’s not even counting the Sole Traders and Partnerships outside of that. Cornwall is a hub for business, so we want to share some of that creative and innovative business juice with you, by inviting some amazing minds to hopefully inspire and empower you on your own business journey.

34 - Foundations: Building beautiful websites, businesses, and cultures that last
In this episode of The F Word, we’re joined by Sophie Palmers, Client Success Manager at Solve – a Cornwall-based B Corp digital agency that builds what lasts.
From beautiful websites and smart SEO strategies to thoughtful design and social content, Solve helps businesses create strong digital Foundations that can grow and evolve for years to come. Sophie’s role is all about relationships: understanding client goals, challenges, and ambitions, and making sure Solve Feels like an extension of their team.
We chat about:
• Why your website is your hardest-working employee, showing up 24/7, 365 days a year
• What really makes a strong digital Foundation to build on
• The balance between design, SEO, and storytelling to build websites that work
• Why environment matters – how Solve’s calm, welcoming office reflects their ethos
• B Corp values: putting people and planet First, From green hosting to client partnerships
• Managing expectations: the difference between “page one of Google tomorrow” vs. long-term sustainable growth
• The role of AI in digital marketing (something we’re all talking about) a tool for support, not replacement
• Why sometimes outsourcing to true experts can be the most liberating decision for a business
Sophie reminds us that digital marketing isn’t one-size-Fits-all:
"It’s about creating the right foundation, so your business can keep building and growing – floor by floor – without having to constantly repair the base."
And she leaves us with a favourite quote:
"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad."
