Why I do this.

I grew up in Wiltshire and moved to Bournemouth for Uni in 2004 — and I’ve been here ever since. I’ve worked as a software engineer for 19 years, mostly in financial services, and I love figuring out how things work, which led to my venture as a web designer.

One of my favourite things about Bournemouth is the interest and personality small businesses bring to the town. Given the choice, I’ll take the independent coffee shop over the chain, and the local cupcake baker over the supermarket aisle. But I recently realised a lot of my favourite local businesses don’t have a web presence, and an informal survey showed people often found it expensive, overwhelming, and didn’t know where to start.

I’d like to change that. Personalised, affordable web design for small, independent businesses — wherever they are — so they can maximise their potential.

How I work

I do this from a desk in Bournemouth, with a coffee and two dogs. No agency, no account manager — just me. You’ll speak to the person who actually builds your site, from the first call through to hosting and updates once it’s live.
