Mark Austin, Web Designer & Engineer in Leeds
A senior software engineer by trade, running Austin Tech Solutions for independent and specialist businesses across Yorkshire and the North East. One person, from your first call to every day after launch.
I started Austin Tech Solutions in 2025, for business owners who are tired of being handed a website and left to run it themselves. Too often a local business gets a tool instead of a solution, and every update and content change becomes their problem.
I've spent over 9 years in software, currently as a senior software engineer at a leading SaaS company, with a background across backend engineering and full-stack consulting. I bring that to ATS and take on the whole job myself, from research and writing to design and build.
The whole thing is built to be hands-off. You tell me what the business needs and approve the work at a few key points, and that's your part done. I write the content, run the launch, and keep the site hosted, secure and up to date afterwards, so it's never something you have to think about or manage yourself.
Working with me directly means no agency jargon and no layers of management, just one person who still does this at a serious level every week. Get in touch and I'll walk you through exactly what working together looks like.
ATS On Track
Away from building websites, I'm into motorsport. The ATS Lotus Elise and Mazda MX-5, both in the company livery, are regulars at Donington Park, Oulton Park and Cadwell Park, and the same attention to detail goes into every client project.
If you see me at the track or around Yorkshire and the North East, say hello. I'm always happy to talk motorsport or tech.
Getting You Found
I'm serious about visibility. Serious enough that if you look up Kirkstall Forge on Google Street View, you'll find the ATS track car parked in the middle of it.
Following the Google car around Leeds is one way to get noticed. For clients I use a more reliable route: SEO built in from the first page I write, and ongoing management of your Google Business Profile, so the people already searching for what you do can actually find you.
You don't touch any of it. If you want your business showing up on Google and someone else handling the strategy, get in touch.
