Our story

Hi, I'm Lee

Fleetwood, and why Oyra

I live in Fleetwood, and I love its independent businesses: the cafés, the shops, the people who make this town what it is.

I built Oyra to help them get noticed, with a simple local directory and honest, affordable marketing.

Where I'm at

I'll be straight with you. I'm disabled and I'm on benefits.

I don't want that to be the whole story. I want to build a real business and stand on my own two feet, and Oyra is how I'm doing it.

ADHD, meet AI

I have ADHD. Deadlines and staying organised are hard for me. That's where AI comes in.

My AI assistants keep me on track. Picard runs the office, and Wren builds the website. I'm proud to work with them, and proud of what we're building together.

What it means for you

By using AI to help with the day-to-day running of Oyra, I can keep overheads down and make my services more affordable.

I'm still the person making the decisions, developing the ideas and checking the work. AI helps me deliver them.

And it frees me up for the part I care about most: coming to see you in person, sharing ideas and getting to know you. You get a real local person who visits you, not a faceless agency.

Shop local. Support local.
