About Forge Digital Solutions

Founded by Barry Hillier in Clarenville, NL.

Forge Digital Solutions is a local web development company built to help Newfoundland businesses get professional, fast-loading websites that are clear, useful, and ready to help customers take the next step.

Founder-led

A practical local approach from the first conversation.

Barry Hillier started Forge Digital Solutions to give local businesses a better path than slow agency projects, generic templates, or relying only on social media.

Based in Clarenville, Barry works with trades, tourism operators, churches, and service businesses across Newfoundland and Labrador that need a website people can trust quickly.

His focus is straightforward: clear communication, fast delivery, mobile-first pages, and website structure built around how Newfoundland customers actually search, compare, and decide who to contact.

Forge Digital Solutions was started because many good local businesses were losing trust online before a customer ever called. Barry wanted to make professional websites more accessible, more locally grounded, and easier to launch without unnecessary hype.
