A little about me
The person behind LairdPageAI
A design background
My name really is Andy Laird. The "Laird" in LairdPageAI is my actual surname, so there is a real person behind every message you get.
I grew up in Bournemouth and studied graphic design back when "cut and paste" meant scissors and glue. That is why I care about how things look, as well as how easy they are to use.
Why I started LairdPageAI
For years I watched small business owners wait days, and pay, to change a phone number or a price on their own website. It never sat right with me. A small change should be a small job.
Then AI arrived, and I saw the same gap again. Owners knew it could help, but nobody had shown them where to start. They had tried ChatGPT, got generic answers and given up. So I started helping with all three: setting AI up properly, building skills that fit your work, and building websites you can keep updating yourself.
I use it all myself
Everything I set up for you, I use every day. My own websites are built this way. My emails, blog posts and paperwork start with an AI skill and finish with me checking them.
That means I know where AI saves real time, and where it gets things wrong. I will tell you both, because you need to know what to check.
My plain English promise
You will not hear tech talk from me. If I have to use a technical word, I will explain it straight away. If something will not help your business, I will say so.
I work with small businesses only. It is what I am set up for, and it is where I do my best work.
What working with me feels like
I share my time between the UK and Asia, and I work with you by screen share, wherever I happen to be. I almost always reply within 24 hours, so you are never left wondering.
After you get in touch, I listen first. Then I suggest where to start, with a clear plan and price. You will never be asked to sign up on the spot.
Outside of work
When I am not working, you will usually find me sketching, drinking coffee that is probably stronger than it needs to be, or travelling with my wife, Tass.
New places and different ways of doing things feed a fair bit of what I bring back into my work.
