About us

Friendly experts who enjoy what we do

We’ve been helping UK businesses grow online since 2009. It’s an over-used phrase, but we genuinely enjoy this work, and we think it shows.

Digital Web World, helping UK businesses since 2009, founded by Stephen Clark FCIM, and the journey from building websites to hosting and marketing.

Our story

From digital marketing to building the websites behind it

Digital Web World started in 2009 as a digital marketing agency. We ran SEO, paid search, video and email campaigns for B2B brands including RS Components and HomeServe Alliance, and plenty of ambitious smaller businesses.

The same thing kept happening. Campaigns were held back by slow, fragile websites, and clients asked us to fix them. So we did, and over time building and hosting websites became the heart of what we do.

Today Digital Web World focuses on WordPress development and managed hosting. Our marketing work carries on under our sister brand, Happy Otter.
