Built around your business problem
I'm a freelance web developer based in the Midlands, UK. I work with businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf website, building custom websites, web applications and business systems around the way they actually operate.
My core strengths are robust Laravel and WordPress development, where I build custom, scalable platforms designed for performance and flexibility. I also build native iOS and Android apps with intuitive user experiences.
I manage the whole project, from concept and planning through development, testing and launch, so the idea becomes a working product without hand-offs. When a project needs visual design as well, I bring in a graphic designer.
From idea to launch
-
Concept
Define the problem worth solving.
-
Planning
Pick the right approach and scope.
-
Development
Build it myself, ensuring continuity and quality.
-
Testing
Check everything before anyone else sees it.
-
Launch
Launch it and provide support afterwards.
Who I work best with
The best projects start with a clear aim, open communication and a shared focus on getting things right.
A good fit
- You want direct access to your developer. No account managers, no hand-offs.
- You want to solve a real problem. Improve a site, streamline a process or build something bespoke.
- You value quality over shortcuts. Maintainable work that can grow with you.
- You want the right technical approach. WordPress, Laravel or custom, whichever suits.
Probably not the right fit
- You want the cheapest option. A template or DIY builder may suit you better.
- You need everything specified on day one. We work out what is needed together.
- You want to rebuild a broken process unchanged. I will look at how it could work better.
