My story
For the last 10+ years I've worked as a software engineer on websites and web apps used by millions of people, at companies including Sky, Sony, Santander, Which?, Global and Screaming Frog.
That work taught me what makes a website succeed: it loads fast, it’s easy to find on Google, it’s secure, and it’s built with the same proven tools and methods big companies rely on, with automatic checks, so changing a price or adding a page doesn’t break something else. Most local businesses never get that standard, because they’re sold a template and a plugin list.
I started Hartstone Digital to change that for businesses around Fleet. I quote it, build it, launch it and look after it, so you always deal with me.
“The engineering standards behind sites used by millions, now working for local businesses.”

What I bring
Performance
Pages that load in a blink on any phone, because slow sites lose customers before they've read a word.
SEO
Clean structure, fast pages and proper local business data, so Google understands what you do and where.
Design
A clean, professional look that makes a small business feel established and trustworthy.
Security
No fragile plugins or outdated software for attackers to exploit, and sensible protection built in.
Testing
Automated checks run before every change, so the things that work keep working.
Deployment
Updates go live smoothly: each one is checked on a staging link first, with an easy way back if anything looks wrong.
How I work
- 01
You speak to me directly.
No account managers, no outsourcing. The person who quotes the work is the person who builds it.
- 02
Clear scope and price up front.
Agreed in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprises part way through.
- 03
A private staging link before launch.
I share a private staging link so you can review everything before it goes live.
- 04
Local and accountable.
Based in Fleet, GU52, and easy to reach after launch, not just during it.
