Our story

How it started

How it started

While running a telecommunications company in the early 2000s, Mark, our Founder, relied on web design companies to get his business online.

After investing thousands in fees, he quickly realised the results didn’t match the cost. Determined to do better, he threw himself into learning web design and digital marketing from the ground up.

His efforts paid off. Not only did Mark build a successful online business during the 2007–2009 recession, but he also gained invaluable insight into what it takes to create websites that truly serve their purpose.

That experience is the foundation of what Red Website Design has become today.

How Red grew

How Red grew

After seeing the success of his own online ventures, Mark began designing websites for friends and family as a side project. This wasn’t just about creating visually appealing sites—it was about building platforms that would help other businesses grow and thrive.

Word spread, and soon, more people were reaching out for Mark’s expertise. What started as a favour for friends turned into a passion, with each project deepening his commitment to making high-quality, affordable web design accessible to everyone.

In 2011, it became official: Red Website Design was born.

Where we are today

Where we are today

From those humble beginnings, Red Website Design has grown into a global business with thousands of satisfied clients. Mark’s vision has remained the same: provide excellent websites without the hefty price tag, giving businesses of all sizes the opportunity to establish a strong online presence.

Today, we serve thousands of clients across the globe, offering a range of web design, SEO, and digital marketing services tailored to meet the diverse needs of businesses in every industry.

Our commitment to value and quality has earned us a loyal client base, and we’re proud to continue delivering results that exceed expectations.
