About Chris Hurst

Designer, developer, and SEO Expert

I’ve been designing and building for the web since 2007, working across branding, UX/UI, custom WordPress builds, and search visibility. I combine design thinking, technical skill, and straight-talking strategy to help businesses grow without the agency bloat.

My Story

A creative eye, a technical brain, and a practical focus on results

I started out in graphic design, which gave me a strong foundation in layout, branding, visual hierarchy, and how to communicate clearly. Over time, that naturally expanded into web design and development, where I taught myself the code side of the work and built a career combining both disciplines.

Today, I help businesses with the full picture: branding, websites, WordPress development, SEO, user experience, and digital visibility. That means clients do not have to juggle a designer, developer, SEO person, and strategist just to get momentum.

I’m originally from Accrington in Lancashire, England, and now based in the New York / New Jersey area. That mix of British roots and years in the US has shaped how I work: direct, hardworking, detail-focused, and obsessed with delivering something that looks sharp and performs properly.

I like building things that are clean, effective, and future-proof. Not just websites that look nice in a screenshot, but websites that help real businesses earn trust, generate leads, and grow.
