About Smallsky Creative

Web Design with Real-World Business Sense

Smallsky Creative exists to help startups and small businesses build websites that aren’t just good-looking - they’re smart, functional, and ready to grow alongside your business.

After decades in international sales, marketing, operations, and logistics, I took a leap toward something more creative - but equally strategic. That blend became Smallsky Creative: a studio where commercial experience meets thoughtful design.

I understand how businesses really work behind the scenes, and that insight shapes every project. My goal isn’t just to make a strong first impression — it’s to build a site that genuinely helps your business move forward.

What Makes My Approach Different?

I know what it’s like to run a small business - to juggle priorities, keep things moving, and still want your brand to look professional. That’s why every site I build is easy to update, simple to navigate, and made to fit you.

I don’t use templates or quick fixes. Every project starts with a conversation - to understand your goals, your customers, and how you like to work. It’s a genuine collaboration, not a transaction, and my role is to listen, guide, and bring your vision to life.

Building a Business That Supports Others

Smallsky Creative has grown through word of mouth and shared values: trust, professionalism, and community over competition. I regularly feature and support fellow small businesses, because when we lift each other up, everyone moves forward.

Behind every Smallsky website is real experience, care, and commitment — and behind the design is a person.

“It felt like a truly personal service.”

“I’d been considering getting some help with building a website. I had created one myself, but I didn’t really know what I was doing. I was looking for something more personal — someone who would actually work with me. At the time, I didn’t know who to turn to.
I had seen Howard at a few networking events, and then one of our mutual contacts asked him if he would take a look at my website and give me a few tips for free. We had an online meeting where Howard shared a lot of advice and was really friendly and easy to talk to. He asked me lots of questions about my business and was genuinely interested in understanding my values so he could help me bring them into a website that truly connects with the people I’m trying to reach. By the end of the call, I knew Howard was the right person to help me.
He explained everything clearly — what we could do, how it works, and the process step by step. This was a huge help for me, as I’m not very confident with the tech side of things.
Over the past month, we’ve worked together to create my brand-new website, and I’ve been so impressed with Howard’s work. He really captured my personality and what I wanted the website to represent. We had several online meetings, and he kept me updated regularly to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. It felt like a truly personal service, and he always listened carefully to my ideas and brought them to life.
I’m absolutely delighted with the result. Howard is extremely knowledgeable, explains everything in a way that makes sense, and worked so hard to bring my vision to life.
If you’re considering getting a website designed and want someone who will listen to what you actually want, explain things clearly, and capture the heart of your business, then Howard is definitely the person for you. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
