01 · TALK
Tell me about the business
We'll talk about your customers, services, ideas, challenges and what you'd like to improve.
Armed Forces • Veterans • Blue Light
A genuine thank you. And something I want to give back.
I'm Ady Howes. I'm a Royal Navy veteran and the bloke behind Help With Digital.
I've had a lot of support from the Armed Forces and veteran community, particularly during a difficult period in my life. I wanted to find a practical way to give something back.
Armed Forces personnel, veterans and Blue Light Card holders
get 50% off my done-for-you work.
And you don't need to work out what you need before we talk. Start by telling me about your business.
Thank you.
It has genuinely meant a lot.
A personal thank you
I've been very well supported.
A number of Armed Forces, veteran organisations and individuals have supported me through a difficult period.
Some of that has been practical support. Some has simply been people checking in and being there when things weren't particularly easy.
I haven't forgotten that.
Help With Digital is the thing I know how to do. So rather than just saying thank you, I want to use those skills to help people who serve, have served, or work in our emergency services.
Start with a conversation
Give me an hour. Let's see what your business could look like instead.
You don't need to decide whether you need a website, landing page, community, automation or another bit of technology.
Tell me about the business, who you help, what you're trying to achieve and what isn't quite working.
02 · EXPLORE
I'll look for what's getting in the way
I'll ask questions, listen and look for ways to make your message or online experience clearer and more useful.
03 · SHOW
Let's see what could change
Where it's useful, I can turn those ideas into a visual mock-up so you can see what I mean rather than trying to imagine it.
No technical brief needed.
You talk about a business you already know inside out. I'll ask the questions and help make sense of what might be worth doing next.
If there's something worth building together afterwards, I'll explain what that could look like.
What might we uncover?
Maybe the business is good. It just isn't coming across online.
That's more common than you might think. Sometimes you don't need to change the business. You need a clearer way to present it, connect the pieces or help people take the next step.
Your website doesn't really sound like you
The business has moved on, but the website hasn't moved with it.
People don't quite understand what you do
You can explain it brilliantly in conversation, but that clarity isn't coming across online.
You have something new to promote
A new service, offer, course or idea needs somewhere clear and focused to live.
People aren't taking the next step
They're finding you, but the journey to enquiring, booking or buying isn't clear enough.
You need somewhere for people to stay
Customers, members or learners need a better place to connect, learn and keep coming back.
The tech has become a bit of a mess
Too many tools, repetitive admin or disconnected systems are making things harder than they need to be.
Forces & Blue Light discount
If we decide to build something, I'll take 50% off my work.
If you're serving Armed Forces personnel, a veteran or a Blue Light Card holder, I'll reduce the cost of the work I personally deliver for you by 50%.
50%
No complicated offer. No special package.
We start by talking about the business.
If there's something I can build, set up or improve for you, I'll apply the discount to my done-for-you work.
That could be a landing page, online community, digital setup or another piece of work we identify together.
Any third-party subscriptions, software costs or platform fees remain separate.
If we decide to build something
Plan. Build. Deploy. Evolve.
The technology comes after we've worked out what we're actually trying to achieve.
01 · PLAN
Work out what matters
We look at what's happening now, what needs improving and what a useful result looks like.
02 · BUILD
Create the right thing
I shape and build the pages, systems, content or connections needed to support that result.
03 · DEPLOY
Get it working properly
We put it into the real world, connect the moving parts and make sure people can use it.
04 · EVOLVE
Improve what works
Once it's being used, we learn from what happens and make sensible improvements.
Hi, I'm Ady
Royal Navy veteran. Learning & Development bloke. Digital specialist.
I've spent more than 20 years helping people learn, connect and use technology with confidence.
These days I run Help With Digital.
A big part of my job isn't actually the technology. It's listening, asking questions and understanding what somebody is trying to achieve.
Then I use the tech to help make that happen.
That's why you don't need to come to me knowing whether you need a landing page, community, automation or something else.
Start by telling me about the business.
