HERTECH LTD

What HERTECH LTD does

HERTECH LTD (trading as Hertech, with the hertech:eco sub-brand) is a B Corp-certified, female-led technology consultancy and digital studio headquartered in Covent Garden, London. Founded in 2020, the firm provides end-to-end web design and development services built primarily on WordPress with custom workflow builders and reusable drag-and-drop content blocks, hosted on Google Cloud Platform's premium tier with Cloudflare Enterprise CDN. The company embeds WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance and digital sustainability practices into every project, and was verified by The Green Web Foundation as a green hosting supplier following a 2023 transition to renewable-energy hosting across its entire client base.

Hertech operates four revenue streams: bespoke website design, development and digital transformation projects (professional services); technology advisory engagements led personally by founder Farrah Washash; subscription-based green hosting on three publicly priced tiers (£24-£82/month); and the hertech:eco digital sustainability service line offering audits from £300, implementation from £3,000, and ongoing maintenance plans from £250/month. AI augmentation is positioned as an emerging capability, evidenced by AI-enhanced search delivered for Minority Rights Group International.

The firm serves a vertical mix led by UK non-profits, charities and social enterprises (ReLondon, Creative Access, Children's Burns Trust, UK Trauma Council, National Suicide Prevention Alliance, Thirty Percy Foundation, WACL, Southall Black Sisters, Solar Energy UK), with adjacent presence in impact investing (BlueMark, Operating Principles for Impact Management), government (ReLondon, London Plus) and City of London financial services (Sionic). Marketing is content-led via case studies, blog and newsletter; sales is founder-led and consultative, with no self-serve enterprise product and only green hosting offered on a self-serve basis. Reported scale signals include 1-10 employees, 12+ purpose-driven clients, an 'A' rating on websitecarbon.com and 43.5% lower carbon emissions per page than the global average.
