Web design & technology services
Whether you need a new website, a custom business application, help improving your Google rankings, or just plain-English tech advice - I can help. You'll get the benefit of my 20+ years building and maintaining websites for businesses of all sizes, with a commitment to honesty and straightforwardness.
What you can expect
You own everything: You get the full source code for your website, delivered via GitHub. You can edit it yourself, hire another developer to change it, or move it to any hosting provider. Everything I build is based on my open source tools and templates - but your site's repository can be private if you prefer. You'll never be stuck paying me just because leaving is too hard.
Transparent pricing: I charge a flat hourly rate for all jobs, with a clear breakdown of what each hour covers. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
Fast sites, low running costs: I build websites that load quickly on any device, which helps you rank better on Google and keeps your hosting costs low - often under £10 per month.
Works for everyone: I build sites that are easy to use on phones, tablets, and desktops, and accessible to visitors with visual impairments.
