Technical enough to build it properly, practical enough to make it useful.

My main work is software development, so I am comfortable with the technical side of a website: responsive behaviour, accessibility, performance, integrations and deployment.

But most website problems are not purely technical. The real work is often understanding what someone is trying to communicate, reorganising scattered content and helping visitors find the next step more easily.

I take on a small number of projects where I like the people, believe in the work and can make a meaningful difference—from the website itself through to practical details such as domains, email, redirects and handover.

I enjoy the point where code, design and someone else’s real-world problem meet.
Services

Perhaps you built your first website yourself, your current site no longer reflects your business, or the platform has become difficult or expensive to maintain. I can help you work out what should stay, what should change and the simplest way forward.

Starting fresh or improving what you already have.

  • New websites

    Professional websites for small businesses and independent creatives, from early structure and visual direction through to launch.

  • Website redesigns

    Restructuring and rebuilding a website that no longer reflects your business, while preserving the content and identity that still work.

  • Platform migrations

    Moving from a DIY, restrictive or overly complicated platform to a setup with clearer ownership, flexibility and ongoing costs.

  • Content and structure

    Turning scattered or overly complicated material into clearer pages, navigation and calls to action.

  • Domains and technical setup

    Support with domains, redirects, forms, email continuity, search setup and the technical details around launch.

  • Content management

    A practical editing or CMS setup where regular updates are genuinely needed, without adding unnecessary maintenance.

Process

A clear, collaborative process from the first conversation through to launch and handover.

Understand, shape, build, refine, launch.

  1. Understand

    We begin with your existing material, the people the website needs to serve and anything that currently feels unclear, difficult or outdated.

  2. Shape

    I organise the content, page structure and visitor journey before polishing the visual design. A beautiful layout cannot rescue a confusing message.

  3. Build

    I build a responsive and accessible website using modern tools, while keeping the implementation as simple as the project allows.

  4. Refine

    We review the working website together, improve the wording and adjust the details that only become clear once everything is in place.

  5. Launch

    I handle deployment, domains, redirects, email continuity and handover so the website is ready to use and straightforward to maintain.
