Our Story

From Barnstaple Beginnings
to Global Innovation.

How a twelve-year-old's love of building websites turned into a full-service digital agency serving clients across the UK and beyond.

How It Started

A Twelve-Year-Old's First Line of Code.

Techsofts was founded on 14 October 2019 by Ian Matthew Bayliss, a lifelong tech enthusiast who began building websites at just twelve years old during the early .com boom.

The company's first official client was a local window cleaner — proving that great digital design isn't just for big brands. It's for every business ready to grow.

From the start, Ian saw a clear gap in the market: too many great companies were being held back by poor websites and inconsistent branding. Techsofts was created to change that — to give businesses the online presence they truly deserve.
