About Gary Simmons | Design Superheroes Brighton

01 The short story

Twenty years of designing and building for the web

I started developing websites in the days of table layouts and have been building them ever since but don’t worry, I use much more modern techniques now…! I’ve worked in various agencies but have been an independent designer and developer in Brighton since 2011.

These days most of my time goes into Shopify stores, WordPress builds and the brands around them. Outside of work, you’ll find me in the sea, bouldering gym, kitchen, or at one of my many favourite cafes, pubs and restaurants in Brighton & Hove.

03 Impact

I'm planting a forest, in your name

Every project I take on plants trees. Through Ecologi, a share of every invoice goes into reforestation and verified climate projects, so your website comes with its own little patch of forest, planted in your name. The counter below is live, and the full story is on the sustainability page.
