Who is behind Macintosh Creative, and why should you trust him with your website?
Macintosh Creative is run by Mac Macintosh, based in High Wych, just outside Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire — trading in photography and digital production since 2011, now focused entirely on building and photographing lead-generating websites for local trades, salons and service businesses.
Building search-optimised, lead-generating websites
Tired of web designers who disappear once you've paid the deposit?
That is exactly why Macintosh Creative is built the way it is: low upfront fee, honest timelines and a phone that gets answered. This is about a working relationship, not a one-off transaction.
Want someone who actually knows Hertfordshire and West Essex?
Based in High Wych, just outside Sawbridgeworth, on the Hertfordshire–Essex border, Mac covers a genuinely local patch — Bishop's Stortford, Harlow and the surrounding towns and villages — not a national call centre reading from a script
No trade-body accreditation applies to a web design and photography business in the way it would for a builder or electrician — but the same principle of honesty applies: no promises that cannot be delivered and no pretending results happen faster than they genuinely do.
Before the pivot to full website builds, Mac spent over three decades working as a creative retoucher and artworker in the photographic and print industry — the same core skills now put to use designing logos, brand colours and imagery for the websites Macintosh Creative builds.
What is the photography actually shot on?
A Sony A7R IV, paired with three lenses chosen for what a local business build and a wider photography brief actually need:
-
Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS for close, detailed product shots.
-
Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 for general and environment work — premises, teams, wider scenes.
-
Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II for portraits and on-site work shot at a distance, where getting close isn't practical or appropriate.
