About Us
In today's fast-paced technological landscape, web visibility is paramount for any business. At Townsend Consulting Service, we recognize the significance of a professional, user-friendly website in attracting customers and ensuring they have a positive experience with your brand.

Founded in 2003, Townsend Consulting Service is owned and operated by Benjamin Townsend. With a rich experience of 20 years in web design, Ben possesses the expertise to craft an exceptional online presence for your company, club, or organization.
Our Philosophy:
What truly differentiates us from the generic "website in a box" solutions is our personalized approach. We shun form letters, impersonal web forms, and one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we collaborate with you from the ground up, ensuring the final product is uniquely tailored to your needs. Our commitment is unwavering – we won't stop until it's perfect.
We are staunch advocates of Open Source. Whenever feasible, we utilize proven Open Source platforms, allowing us to concentrate on your specific requirements rather than "reinventing the wheel". Our partnership with you spans the entire journey – from conceptualization, design, and deployment to scaling. Our goal is to design websites that are rich, modern, user-friendly, responsive, and accessible. We ensure compatibility across all devices – be it traditional computers, screen readers, mobile devices, or tablets. Our designs consistently meet or surpass standards set by The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), including Accessibility, HTML, CSS, and more.
