I am Darren Beale. Founder of Siftware and more recently Cwm By. Over the past 20+ years, I have helped countless people and organisations make money on the web.
Is it your turn, do you want help getting your stuff online? Do you want to pick my brains about building new websites, marketing websites, keeping older websites running, managing a web development agency or even starting up a coffee shop?
Or, maybe I can take some photographs for you?
In short, if there is some overlap between the stuff I am currently working on and your own projects then I’d love to speak to you.
Est. 1998
Before WiFi, before blogging, before the iPhone and certainly before there was anything called social media, I have been building websites professionally. As a result, I have also maintained a personal site here at Bealers.com. (I can prove this back until 1999, though don’t bother clicking, you will be disappointed)
During that time over 500 items have been published to my blog. A lot of it is out of date and/or irrelevant now, but if you’re interested you can find everything here.
