Barry Hillier · Building websites in Clarenville
A useful website, without the runaround.
I started Forge to make website work easier for Newfoundland businesses and organizations. Tell me what is not working, and I’ll help you sort out the website, local search, and the clearest way for people to get in touch.
Why I started Forge
Good local work can be hard to find when the website gets in the way.
People should not have to hunt around to understand what you do, where you work, or how to reach you. But plenty of capable local teams have websites that make those basics harder than they need to be.
Forge starts with the questions customers and visitors actually have. Barry keeps the work tied to what matters, explains the choices in plain language, and leaves out the extras that will not help.
Who you will work with

When you contact Forge, you get me. I’ll explain the options in plain language, keep the work tied to what you actually need, and stay with it through launch.
