Human-Led. AI-Powered. Community-Focused.
We’re Joseph and Abbie Ward, the husband-and-wife team behind ForWardAI. We are business owners, innovators, and your neighbors, dedicated to helping local businesses succeed.
The idea for ForWardAI grew from years of direct experience. As a professional software engineer with over 20 years in the field, I (Joseph) often helped fellow community members build websites in my spare time. It became clear there was a significant demand for modern, high-quality digital services, but it was more than one person could handle while giving each business the focus it deserved.
That's where the vision for ForWardAI was born. By combining my two decades of technical expertise with Abbie’s strategic insight, and then amplifying our abilities with the power of AI, we can now offer the dedicated, expert-level partnership our community needs to thrive online.
Our Philosophy: The Human + AI Synergy
Our guiding principle is what we call the "Human + AI Synergy." It’s the core of everything we do and it means you never have to choose between having a personal relationship and using advanced technology.
* The Human Touch: When you partner with ForWardAI, you partner directly with us—the founders. We are a lean, two-person team, which we consider our greatest strength. You get our full attention and direct access, ensuring your vision is understood and executed with care. We are not a large, impersonal agency.
* The AI Advantage: We combine that dedicated, human-centric service with the power of practical, cutting-edge AI tools. We integrate intelligent chatbots, create automated content workflows, and implement data-driven SEO strategies to give your business a serious competitive edge.
Your Dedicated Digital Partner
We are SMB specialists. As a small business ourselves, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities you face. Our goal is to be your trusted digital partner, demystifying technology and delivering solutions that are accessible, understandable, and, most importantly, profitable for you.
