Hi, I'm Harry
I build high-performance websites and help local businesses improve their search visibility. I focus on practical solutions that drive real business growth through clear communication and technical expertise.
My Story
From software engineer to helping local businesses succeed online
I'm a software engineer who's passionate about building practical solutions that actually work. While my day job involves developing end-to-end solutions for net-zero initiatives, I also help local businesses establish their online presence.
My approach to web development is straightforward - I focus on creating websites that are fast, mobile-friendly, and genuinely help businesses connect with their customers. I prioritize clear communication and solid technical foundations to deliver reliable results.
I work primarily with local businesses across the UK who need an honest, direct approach to getting online. Whether it's building a new website from scratch or helping improve your local search rankings, I care more about what actually works than what looks impressive in a portfolio.
When I'm not coding or helping businesses grow their online presence, you'll probably find me tinkering with side projects, exploring new technologies, or trying to perfect the art of making a decent cup of coffee.

My Philosophy
The principles that guide how I build for the web
Keep It Simple
Your website should be easy to use and understand. If visitors can't figure out what you do or how to contact you in seconds, something's wrong. I focus on clarity over complexity.
Results Over Hype
I'd rather deliver solid, measurable improvements than make big promises about "revolutionary" results that never materialize. I focus on the metrics that actually impact your bottom line.
Honest Communication
I'll tell you straight what will work, what won't, and why. No technical jargon designed to confuse - just clear, honest explanations you can understand and act upon.
Long-term Thinking
Quick fixes rarely last. I build websites and SEO strategies that will keep working and growing with your business for years to come. Your success is a marathon, not a sprint.
