I have an idea but I do not know where to start. Can you help?

Yes. Start with a one-hour call, free, by phone or WhatsApp. We talk through the idea, what success looks like, and the smallest first step that actually proves it. If it makes sense to keep going, you get a fixed price and a clear plan. If it does not, you get an honest answer and you have lost nothing.

Do you only work with tech businesses?

No. Most of the people I help run service businesses, shops, trades, food, or are setting up a side hustle. They need a simple shopfront, a way to take bookings or orders, and the basic admin sorted out. The tech is a means to an end.

Why is AI 90% cheaper and faster?

Because the work an agency used to bill three months for, a small operator with the right AI tools can deliver in a couple of weeks. I keep that saving with you, not as agency margin. You pay for the outcome, not for a team of account managers.

Can we meet in person, or is it all online?

Both. I am based in Sandwich and happy to drive across Kent for a coffee and a kitchen-table session. If video calls and WhatsApp suit you better, we can do the whole engagement remotely. You choose.

Do I own what gets built?

Yes. Domain, website, app, accounts, content, all of it sits in your name. No lock-in, no perpetual subscription to me. If you ever decide to part ways with me, you walk away with the lot.

Kent · Online · Fixed prices

Take your idea online and onto phones, without the agency price tag.

I help local entrepreneurs and small business owners turn an idea into a working operation. Website, app, online shop, bookings, the boring admin behind it, all of it. Run by a founder who has done it five times for himself, with AI doing 90% of the heavy lifting so you pay less and launch faster.

For people who actually start things

Most of the people I help do not have a tech background.

You have spotted a gap, or you are running something already and you know it could be more. You do not need a buzzword tour. You need someone who has actually launched things, can pick the right tools, and will sit at your kitchen table with a laptop and get on with it.

You have an idea, no plan

You see the gap. You do not know whether to start with a website, an app, a shop, or just a leaflet. We work that out together in plain English.

Idea to Launch sprint

Service business going online

Plumber, dog walker, therapist, gardener. A modern shopfront, a clear way to enquire, and reviews that actually show up on Google.

Website build

Selling a product

You have something to sell. We pick the right shop, set up payments, sort the boring tax and shipping side, and get you trading in days, not months.

Online shop & ecommerce

You want to be on phones

Most of your customers are on their phone. Sometimes a fast mobile website is the right answer. Sometimes a real Android or iOS app is. I will tell you which.

Mobile apps

Drowning in admin

Quotes, invoices, follow-ups, bookings, stock. AI agents and simple automation can take the donkey work off your hands so you can do the actual job.

AI automation

You want a sounding board

Sometimes you do not need a project. You need someone who has been there, will tell you the truth, and can spot the obvious thing you cannot see from the inside.

1-to-1 mentoring

Why AI changes the maths.

An old-school agency would quote three months and ten thousand pounds for a basic shop and a simple app. With the right AI workflow I can deliver the same in two to three weeks, for a fraction of the price. The saving is yours, not mine.

How it works

From kitchen-table chat to first paying customer.

Same shape every time. The detail changes per business, the steps do not.

One hour, no charge

WhatsApp or call. We talk about the idea, the people you want to reach, what done looks like in 90 days, and what success means to you. No slide deck, no jargon.

A plain plan and a fixed price

Within 48 hours you have a one-page plan. The smallest version of your idea that proves itself, what it costs, what you need from me, and what I need from you.

Build in days, not months

I use AI tooling to compress what an agency takes a quarter to do down to a fortnight. You see progress every couple of days, not just at the end.

Launch and learn

We push the thing live, watch what real customers do, and tune what is not working. The point is to learn fast, not to be perfect on day one.

Hand it over, or stay on tap

You own everything. You can take it from there, or keep me on a small monthly retainer for changes, growth, and the occasional sanity check.

About Richard

An operator. Not an agency.

I have spent twenty-plus years building online businesses for myself, mostly out of Kent. Five exits, around five million in total. None of them were rocket science. They were the same recipe, applied with the right tools at the right moment.

I am not interested in selling you a retainer you do not need. I am interested in seeing real Kent businesses use AI properly, before the bigger players figure it out and put the prices back up.

The best time to start was a year ago. The second best time is a fortnight from now, with a working website, a payment link, and a plan you can read on one side of A4. — Richard, Sandwich Business

Local

Kent first. Online second.

I am happy to drive across Kent for a meeting, a cuppa, or a proper site visit. If you would rather do it all online, we can.

Got an idea? Send a voice note.

The fastest way to get going is a 60-second WhatsApp explaining what you are thinking. I will reply, usually within the day, with whether it is sensible and what the smallest first step would cost.
