Freelance Web Development · Bournemouth
I help digital agencies get client work out the door without the back-and-forth that slows things down, and I help businesses build, improve and maintain fast, reliable websites and web applications.
How I work
Most of the work I take on falls into one of three shapes. Have a read through and see which one sounds closest to where you are right now. Each card links through to a fuller explanation if you want to dig in.
For digital agencies
I work alongside busy digital agencies as a reliable extra developer when you need to extend your team. Most of the time that's WordPress and PHP, sometimes Laravel for the more complex builds, and always under your brand and your client relationship.

For businesses
I work directly with businesses that have outgrown an off-the-shelf theme and need a custom WordPress or Laravel build that fits the way you actually work. The kind of site your team can update without holding their breath, and that's still going strong years from now.

For existing sites and apps
If you've inherited a site that nobody's quite sure how to maintain, or one that's slow, fragile or starting to show its age, I can help you get it back into good shape. It isn't the most glamorous work in the world, but keeping the plumbing of the internet running properly is what lets everything else happen.

Selected works
A handful of projects I've worked on with clients recently, both directly and as part of agency teams. If you'd like to see more, the full list lives on the work page.
I joined this project partway through to help the team get it over the line, migrating hundreds of pages, rebuilding custom blocks, and getting the site shipped on the original deadline.
