ABOUT KEENE GROWTH

I’ve spent 25 years building things. Now I help businesses grow.

Hi, I’m Darryn Mountfort, founder of Keene Growth.

MY STORY

A developer first.

I’m a developer first. For 25 years, I’ve built software, websites and systems that people use to get things done. I’ve worked in startups, spent time in larger businesses and started my own web development company. Through all of it, the part I’ve loved most has been taking an idea, working through the difficult bits and building something genuinely useful.

Over time, I became just as interested in what happens around the software.

  1. How do the right people find a business?
  2. Does its website make the offer clear?
  3. What happens after someone enquires?
  4. Can the owner see which marketing is bringing in customers?

A business can have a good website, active social accounts and paid ads, yet still lose opportunities because those pieces don’t work together.

I’ve seen how rewarding it is when they finally do.

Why I started Keene Growth

Keene Growth brings together the work I care about most:

  • Software development
  • Digital marketing
  • Solving real business problems

I work directly with business owners to understand what they sell, who they want to reach and where customers are getting stuck. Then we build what the business needs. That might mean improving a website, developing a custom tool, creating a landing page, connecting systems, running campaigns or making sure every enquiry gets followed up.

The work is different for every client. The goal is the same: make it easier for the right people to:

  1. Discover your business
  2. Understand its value
  3. Take the next step

I still love writing code and building things people will use. I also love putting the wider puzzle together—seeing the message, technology, marketing and follow-up begin to support one another. The best moments are when a client sees those connections too, and you can see the possibilities click into place.

WORKING TOGETHER

What it’s like to work with me

You work with me directly. I’ll ask questions, challenge assumptions when I think it will help, and get involved in the practical work. I care about understanding your business well enough to make good decisions with you.

This is an ongoing partnership, because a business doesn’t stop changing once a page goes live or a campaign launches. We look at what’s happening, improve what we’ve built and decide what matters next.

If you want someone who can think through the business problem, build the technology and connect it to your marketing, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
