About Me
Hey! I’m Joshua Hawken, the founder of Grantham Web Design.
I’m 15 years old and proud to have lived in Grantham my whole life. After launching my first business - RYSK Streetwear - with my brother Charlie last year, I discovered a real passion for web design. Since then, I’ve been building websites for local businesses, creatives, and individuals who want a site that not only looks great, but actually works.
From my own brand’s site, ryskstreetwear.com, to the official website for Suzie Sparkles (Hive FM radio presenter), I’ve been sharpening my skills and creating digital spaces that people are genuinely excited about. Suzie herself said her site was “well worth the money and a great way to support a young entrepreneur in the town.”
Whether you're running a local business, starting something new, or just want your own personal corner of the internet — I’ve got you covered. I create high-quality, functional websites tailored to you, using a simple form to learn exactly what you need.
Need an online shop? A booking system? A clean, professional site to promote your services? I can help — and I’ll make the process easy and affordable.
Check out my Portfolio to see my work, or head over to the Services page to learn more and get in touch.
Let’s build something awesome together.
