Our story
We're Andrew, Chris, and James — a tight-knit team based right here in Derbyshire. We started Local Foundry because we believe every local business has a story worth telling and a digital presence worth engineering.
We believe strongly that in the future, websites will be primarily visited by AI agents instead of humans. Our mission is to ensure local businesses are ready for that world — while still delivering websites that convert the humans who land on them today.
Our philosophy
"Beautiful websites for humans today — to be chosen in AI-powered search tomorrow."
Your website now has two audiences. The people who visit it, and the AI agents that decide whether to recommend it. We build for both.
What makes us different
Most agencies focus on either design or SEO. We do both — and we go further. We engineer websites for AI discoverability while making them genuinely beautiful for the people who visit. Premium design meets smart AI architecture. That's what sets us apart.
Why Derbyshire
We're proud to be based in Derbyshire. We serve the businesses that make this area brilliant — from Derby and Chesterfield to the market towns of Belper, Matlock, Bakewell, and beyond. We understand the communities you serve because we're part of them too.
