Music has always come first. Guitarist, bassist, pianist, singer — I played rhythm guitar and sang in Quench with Rob, Nathan, Steff, Nikki and Steve. Most of what's online was recorded in the late 90s straight to cassette. Quality is rough. The memories aren't.
Most of those years were lived in Fuerteventura — playing Caleta Harbour with Claudio and Dave. Fuerteventura gave me a lot. I'd go back tomorrow.
Right now I'm working on new tracks. A new single is on the way.
BUILD / EXPERIMENT / CREATE
Tech & creative projects.
Real-world ideas that bring technology, creativity and practical problem-solving together.
I’m Simon Ward: musician, web designer, content creator and enthusiastic feeder of garden birds. Originally from the Wirral, I lived in Fuerteventura from 1998 to 2020 and now call Devon home. My two sons are my world. A jack of all trades, master of none—and always curious enough to try something new.

Building Since 2004
Started in 2004 before broadband was in every home. Built one of the UK's first video chat social networks — peaked at 6k/month in 2010 before Google wiped it. Rebuilt. Pivoted to WordPress. Became a Flippa Super Seller with $130k in sales. Still here.
YouTube and Film Restoration
Spent years restoring old black-and-white films into colour using AI. Grew a YouTube channel from under 300 to 12,500 subscribers in a year. Drone footage, time-lapses, 300+ restored films.
I had the concept for what Google became before Google built it. What I did build was a video chat social network that grew purely through word of mouth into tens of thousands of users. MySpace was the competition and didn't have video. Facebook wasn't a thing anyone had heard of yet.
In 2012, Google pushed Hangouts and quietly removed thousands of sites like mine. I've been building, selling and supporting websites ever since — everything I deliver comes with lifetime support. No expiry. No contract.

Fuerteventura wasn't just somewhere I lived. It was 22 years — the band, the sun, the people, the freedom. I'd go back tomorrow.Simon Ward • Caleta Harbour • Fuerteventura
