Brad Holmes web developer, designer and digital strategist.

Dad, husband and dog owner. Most days I’m trying to create fast, search-friendly websites that balance UX, Core Web Vitals, and digital strategy from my studio in Kettering, UK.

If you’re here, you either found something I built on Google or you’re just being nosey. Either way, this is me, the work, the thinking, and the bits in between.

The effectiveness of any strategy depends on multiple factors beyond Brad Holmes’ control, including your implementation quality, organizational capacity, and market conditions.

You acknowledge that engagement with these services does not establish an ongoing employment relationship, partnership, or agency arrangement unless explicitly stated in a separate agreement.

3. Intellectual Property

Website Content

All content published on this Website—including articles, writing, analysis, frameworks, and visual design—is the intellectual property of Brad Holmes or clearly attributed third parties. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Written articles and blog posts
  • Proprietary frameworks and methodologies
  • Diagrams, charts, and visual assets

  • Use content in a way that implies Brad Holmes’ endorsement of unrelated products or services

Licensing & Attribution

If you wish to republish, license, or reference content in a commercial context, contact Brad Holmes directly. Fair use provisions apply where legally applicable, but explicit permission is required for most republication.

Where content is attributed to external sources, those attributions are binding. You are responsible for respecting third-party intellectual property rights.

No Professional Advice

Content on the Website is provided for educational and informational purposes. It is not legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, or professional advice requiring licensing. While analysis is grounded in observable patterns and industry knowledge, you should verify information independently and consult licensed professionals for decisions requiring professional advice.

Use of the Website or services does not create a professional relationship that would establish a duty of care beyond what is explicitly stated in a service agreement.

  • Shared with third parties without your explicit consent

  • Published or referenced in case studies without written permission

Brad Holmes’ Work

Conversely, Brad Holmes’ methodologies, frameworks, analysis process, and proprietary systems remain confidential and proprietary. You may not share detailed descriptions of proprietary approaches with competitors or use them as the basis for competing offerings without permission.
