The story

Hi, I'm Krunal.

I'm the founder and lead engineer behind Laurelworth Digital. I'm a full-stack engineer specialising in React, React Native and Node.js, with a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) and a background building products that businesses rely on every day.

Before starting Laurelworth Digital, I built e-commerce marketplaces, fashion shopping apps with buy-now-pay-later checkout, food ordering apps, enterprise inventory apps with barcode scanning, and ERP systems for wholesale traders.

Along the way I kept seeing the same problem: small businesses either paid agency prices for work handed to juniors, or gambled on cheap templates that never quite worked. Laurelworth Digital is the alternative — senior-level engineering, honest pricing and direct communication.

Today I help businesses across the UK launch websites, mobile apps and online stores — and keep them running smoothly afterwards with store management and ongoing support.

Values

How every project is run

Clarity over jargon

Plain-English updates, clear proposals and honest timelines. You'll always know where your project stands.

Quality you can see

Pixel-perfect design, fast pages and clean code that's tested on real devices before launch.

Honest advice

If a cheaper option or an off-the-shelf tool will do the job, you'll hear it — even if it means a smaller project.

Long-term partnership

Launch is the beginning. Support, store management and improvements are there whenever you need them.
