Hi Nice to Meet you!
If you haven’t figured it out yet — I’m Hayden.
Bit of a free spirit, to be honest. I use my passion for tech and web design to fuel a life filled with travel, snowboarding, photography — and every so often, you’ll find me behind the bar, keeping my mixology skills fresh. I’m usually somewhere in the world doing at least one of those, which is why I don’t always have a fixed timezone or office.
What most people don’t know is that I actually studied Robotics Engineering at the University of Sheffield. While I enjoyed the challenge, it never felt like the right long-term path. I learned a lot — logic, systems thinking, problem-solving — but I always had the sense I was meant to build something of my own.
I got tired of the 9–5 grind. Of being stuck in companies where progress was blocked by politics and red tape. Web design became my outlet — the thing that let me combine creativity, tech, and real problem-solving. It lets me build with purpose, help people grow their businesses, and run things in a way that actually makes sense: collaborative, flexible, and focused on doing good work with good people.
What made you start Eales Web Design?
Honestly, it started as a bit of a fluke. I was already travelling, but kept getting grounded in places where I had to fall back on a 9–5 just to keep the bills paid.
During COVID, an old work colleague asked if I could help him build a new Squarespace site for his business. What started as a creative outlet — and a way to tap back into the more technical, engineering side of my brain — quickly turned into something more.
What was meant to be a simple side hustle to earn a bit of extra cash became the thing that opened up new doors, gave me freedom, and allowed me to build the kind of lifestyle I’d always hoped for.
What makes you different?
We don’t just build good-looking websites — we build them with purpose. Every project is custom, strategic, and tailored to the people behind the brand. No templates. No shortcuts. Just clean, conversion-focused design that actually supports your business.
We take the time to understand your goals, your offer, and what your audience needs. And unlike big agencies, you’re not handed off to a project manager or ghosted after launch. You’re working directly with someone who’s in it with you — invested in the process, the outcome, and making sure your site actually works.
