About us
Helping you to grow your business online
BYBO came into being because Claire Carlton wanted to help small to medium businesses be more successful.
Be Found. Be Loved. Build Your Business Online.
Get found and make it convincing
In this day and age, businesses need to have some way of being found on the Internet, and when they get found, they need to present a professional and compelling image. This is what most customers expect, and this is increasingly the starting point for consumer spending.
We believe that to get found and build your business online, it requires a great user friendly website design.
Your website also needs to be optimised for search engines. An understanding of which social media platforms will compliment your website and expand your online reach.

Claire Carlton is the founder and Director of Build Your Business Online or BYBO for short. She started the business in March 2012 on a part time basis and went full time in July 2012.
Claire has been using computers for over 30 years and working for companies and organisations in various positions that required her to use the internet since it began.
She developed complex databases and managed the integration of information technology.
In short she is a geek and is proud to be and loves all things to do with information technology, especially the internet.

She has another passion which is the environment and for over 17 years she worked in that sector.
During that time Claire combined her 2 passions, the environment and technology.
She developed, implemented and managed the online presence for government and international non-profit organisations including World Wide Fund for Nature.

The non profit sector have mastered the art of making the web work hard for them by coordinating large global campaigns with very little resources.
