We are an education and events initiative. We teach people how to make amazing digital things and learn by doing.

We believe that anyone can understand how the web works. Anyone can learn to code. Anyone can make a website. Anyone can build an App. Anyone can improve their life with the help of technology.

If you'd like to know more or need help with a project then please get in touch and find out how Make Do can help you.

Who is make do?

The Make Do initiative is a collaboration between two friends and fellow web geeks Kimb Jones and Matt Watson.

Together they have almost 20 years combined time spent working on small and large web projects in the public sector and beyond. This experience has given the team a unique insight into the issues, challenges and opportunities the web presents for everyone from a tech newbie to experienced web professionals.

Make Do was founded shortly after their second digital conference The Digital Barn and they are now working hard to make an impact on the education and events scene with an exciting programme of events that will offer anyone, whatever their technical skills, a chance to build apps, write code and create websites.
