Dizzy Otter started because I needed to get paid. Turns out, it became so much more. From a simple invoice to industry-changing technology in under a year.

Dizzy Otter started because I needed to get paid. I had my first real freelance project and needed a registered business to invoice the client. So I registered Dizzy Otter Ltd, did the work, got paid, and figured that was that. Turns out, it wasn't. Over the next few months, I started getting more work. Startups, established businesses, sole traders. Everyone needed help with the same things: better websites, stronger SEO, smarter use of AI. I realized there was real demand for this, especially locally. So many businesses were leaving money on the table because their digital presence was weak or nonexistent. So Dizzy Otter became a web design and SEO consultancy. We helped businesses improve their online visibility, attract more clients, and actually use their websites as a tool instead of just having one because everyone else did. But things shifted again. The more I worked with AI tools to streamline client operations, the more I realized that's where the real value was. Not just building websites. Building intelligent systems that solve actual problems. Automating workflows. Creating custom AI solutions that save people hours every week. So we pivoted. Dizzy Otter became an AI consultancy and software development company. We help businesses modernize their operations with AI powered systems. Custom Notion dashboards that actually work. Personalized GPTs trained on their data. Automated outreach systems that don't feel automated. Real solutions that make people's jobs easier so they can focus on what they're actually good at. Around this time, I brought in Joe Evans. Close friend, sharp mind, and exactly the kind of person I needed to handle growth. Now we're a team. We work with clients across multiple industries. Every problem is different. Every solution is custom. And right now, we're in talks with some big players about software that could genuinely shift how their industry operates. Dizzy Otter went from "I need to invoice someone" to "we're building industry changing technology" in less than a year. And we're just getting started. Want to work with us?
