About Ben Roberts

Upon leaving, he decided he had to be able to record him singing at home. Ben went home, grabbing everything in his bedroom that a nine-year-old could carry (not quite the mattress) and sold everything in his bedroom so he could buy his first computer. Ben self-taught himself playing the piano, drums, guitar and singing, uploading the music to both Youtube and iTunes. While running a little mobile DJ business.

When Ben was getting his name out there, he decided that he required a website for his music and another website for his DJ business. After looking online at how terrible website builders were, he set himself a task of building his own websites from scratch. Ben built his own websites which didn't go un-noticed, he was asked to create websites for local businesses around where he lived. He did this as a hobby around school.

His first paying design client

At age 11, Ben received his first paycheck from his website work, the first-gen iPad. At this point, Ben balanced school work with freelancing. Age 12, Ben landed a restaurant design job to create a website and branding for a small restaurant in Wimbledon, the restaurant was a roaring success, turning into a restaurant chain with Ben leading the marketing alongside the Founder, to a chain of 11 nationwide.
