About Forgd

One developer. Over 20 years of experience. Software built properly for small businesses.

Why Forgd exists

I've spent over 20 years building software. I've worked in agencies, startups, and large organisations. I've seen what good software can do for a business - and I've seen what happens when it's done badly.

The same problem kept coming up. Small businesses were stuck between two bad options: either making do with spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools that didn't quite fit, or paying agency prices for software they couldn't afford to maintain.

Meanwhile, AI has changed what's possible. I can now build in days what used to take weeks - without cutting corners. That means custom software is finally accessible to businesses that could never have afforded it before.

That's why I started Forgd. To give small businesses proper software - built around how they actually work, managed ongoing so they never have to worry about the technical side. No jargon, no surprises, no disappearing after handover.

Founder, Forgd

I'm a developer with over 20 years of experience across agencies, startups, and enterprise. I build custom software for small businesses and manage it ongoing - so you get the tools you need without the headache of maintaining them yourself.

I'm based in Kingston upon Thames and work with businesses across the UK. When you work with Forgd, you work directly with me - no account managers, no middlemen, no being passed around.

What I believe

Plain English, always

I explain things in words you understand. No jargon, no buzzwords, no making things sound more complicated than they are.

Fair, transparent pricing

You get a fixed quote before I start. No hourly rates, no scope creep, no surprise invoices. Your quote is your quote.

Your code, your data

You own everything I build. If you ever want to leave, I hand over the code, the data, and the documentation. No lock-in.

Support that doesn't stop

I don't build your software and disappear. Ongoing management is the whole point - hosting, security, backups, support, all included.
