Speaking topics
Wix, Web Design and Start Scrappy Talks
Karl is a marketing speaker and business keynote speaker, and one of only 3 Wix Leaders in the UK (19 worldwide), speaking to conference, meetup and community audiences on Wix, web design and starting scrappy. Book Karl for a 10, 20 or 30 minute slot.
Wix
Wix is often written off as a hobbyist tool. Karl makes the case for treating it as a serious platform: Wix Studio, Wix Headless, CMS-driven sites and the kind of setup that scales with a growing business rather than getting rebuilt every two years.
Good for: web design and marketing conferences, Wix community events, small business audiences evaluating platforms.
Web design
A website that looks good and a website that works are not the same thing. Karl talks about building sites that convert: structure, copy and calls to action that pull in the same direction, and why "is a website worth it in 2026?" is still worth asking properly.
Good for: small business audiences, marketing meetups, founder communities.
Start Scrappy
Scrappy beats perfect. This talk is for founders on the brink of starting up who are worried about money, time and where to spend their effort first. You don't need a £5,000 WordPress website: a free Wix site can move you forward, alongside tools like HelpBnk to help you build it.
Good for: pre-launch founders, startup incubators, entrepreneurship programmes, students.

Beyond Wix
A marketing speaker with a real business story
Karl isn't just a platform specialist brought in to talk about software. Before The Wix Guys, he and Joe Bennett ran a construction-sector marketing agency, and learned the hard way that a campaign working too well can cost you the client. As a marketing speaker and business keynote speaker, Karl draws on that experience directly: what actually drives growth for a small business, why the obvious metrics can be misleading, and how starting scrappy beats waiting for a perfect plan. It's a business keynote grounded in a real pivot, not a slide deck of theory.
