I've been building things for the web since 2019. I started in-house, then freelanced on the side, then went full-time for myself when I realised the clients I was helping most weren't the ones big agencies were chasing.
Small businesses like a bakery in Croydon, a plumber in Kent, or a personal trainer in South London needed websites and digital tools that actually worked. Not beautiful mock-ups that took six months and cost four figures a month to maintain. Something real, live, and useful.
I set up Hosting Easy Ltd and started leeday.uk to serve that market directly. No account managers, no bloated teams, no hidden fees. You call me, I build it, it works. That's the model.
The AI side came naturally. When tools like Make.com and voice agents started becoming genuinely useful in 2023, I started integrating them into client projects. A voice agent that answers calls after hours. An automation that follows up every lead within two minutes. A chatbot that handles the questions you get asked ten times a day. These things change how a small business operates.
I'm based in London and South East England. Most of my clients are local, though I work with businesses across the UK. I'm registered through Companies House (CN 15169743) and all projects come with fixed pricing and a clear contract.
If you're curious about working together, the best next step is a free 20-minute call. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help, what it'll cost, and how long it'll take. No pressure, no sales pitch.
