// about
The person behind the brand, the website and the systems.
I help Ghanaian businesses get noticed, then keep them running once the work comes in.
// who I am
Hire once, not four times.
I am David Charway. I studied ICT at GIMPA and have spent the years since building two things Ghanaian businesses usually have to buy from two different people: the brand and website that bring customers in, and the systems that handle them properly once they arrive.
I have led IT for a consulting firm, run the marketing and built the platform for Ghana Digital & Innovation Week, grown a news publication through SEO, and delivered websites and online stores for businesses in logistics, beauty, media and resources. I also write and publish my own blog, which keeps me honest about what actually works online rather than what sounds good in a pitch.
