No capes. Just great websites.

Our Mission

Helping Local Businesses
Shine Online

We build jargon-free websites that work as hard as you do, and simple software that takes the admin off your plate. No fluff, just results for hardworking local businesses. We help independent businesses across Cumbria and the North West.

Philip Smithson, founder of Your Business Hero

Meet Philip

Founder & Technical Lead

I'm usually the first friendly voice you'll hear from us. I get in touch with local independent businesses to see if we can take the stress out of getting online, and I don't believe in hard sales or confusing scripts.

Then I'm the one who gets to work building your site. I look after the nuts and bolts of your online presence, taking you from a blank page to a finished website.

My background is in engineering systems that don't break. I handle all the technical heavy lifting—the design, hosting, security, and updates—so you can focus on your actual work without worrying about the technology.
