Building stuff for screens to bring the real world into focus.
Sounds Local helps communities and cultural organisations create websites, apps, and content that encourages people to put their phones down and get together more.
Let's get to work
Hiya 👋 I’m Mark
I’ve been building websites since the turn of the century, and producing podcasts since before they were cool… and long after.
I’ve worked with BT Sport, the BBC, Amazon, Mozilla and more, and have held multiple Technical Director positions in community radio, digital marketing, and software.
I do this…
Web design & development
Your website is your organisation's online identity, and it sets the tone for what working with you feels like.
Podcast development & production
Build affinity and trust with your stakeholders by creating compelling long-form content.
Website support & maintenance
Get website monitoring, testing, maintenance, and support from someone you know on a first-name basis.
…for people like this…

…so I can do this
The Internet is a powerful way to connect people who wouldn’t otherwise meet. But if we don’t balance time on Zoom and social media with real-world interaction – especially with people who don’t look like us – our worldview gets smaller.
Sounds Local is a Community Interest Company, meaning the profit it makes is put back into the community to fund projects that get people off screens and out into the world, with all its messy unpredictability.
