The person behind the work

Big ideas. Personal touch.

An independent digital business in Gloucestershire, built around a straightforward idea: make the online side of running your business easier.

Hello. It's good to meet you.

I like building things.
Useful things.

I'm Rhys, and I run Built By Blackwell. I enjoy solving problems, making things work better and helping independent businesses feel more confident with the digital side of their day.

That might mean a website that finally feels right. It might mean looking after an existing one, or a small tool that makes a repetitive job easier. The starting point is always what would be useful to you.

You'll deal directly with me, from the first message to the work itself. You don't need to come with technical answers, and we can get started over email without arranging a meeting.

How I like to work

Thoughtfully built.

The small details matter. Design and technology should help your customers, and feel right for the business behind them.

Clearly explained.

Plain English, an agreed scope and clear costs. If something needs quoting separately, you know before the work starts.

Personally looked after.

Send a message to the person doing the work. A straightforward relationship, with room to keep improving as your business changes.

Local roots. A little further reach.

Gloucestershire first.
Good work, anywhere.

I'm based near Gloucester and work with businesses across Gloucestershire, the South West and the rest of the UK. The work can be handled remotely.

Tell me what you have in mind.

A new idea, an overdue website update or a task you're tired of doing. A few lines is a good place to start.
