Web Developer — Lichfield & the Midlands

Websites, web apps and systems that help your business grow.

I build professional websites that generate enquiries, custom web applications that replace manual processes, and business systems that save your team real time — without agency overhead or account managers in the way.

Where I Work

Based in Lichfield

Right on the edge of Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands — so "local" covers a genuinely wide area. I work with businesses across the region and further afield across the UK.

Sound familiar?

Good businesses held back by the wrong digital setup.

A website that doesn't generate enquiries, processes held together with spreadsheets, or software that doesn't quite fit how you actually work — these things compound quietly until they start costing you real time, real money, and real opportunities.

Website That Isn't Working

Traffic but no enquiries. Looks dated. Doesn't rank. A website should bring business in — if it isn't, something needs to change.

Spreadsheet Overload

Multiple spreadsheets managed by multiple people, none of them quite in sync. One wrong formula away from a real problem.

Admin That Eats the Day

Chasing confirmations, manually updating records, copying data between tools — hours every week on work a system could do in seconds.

Software That Doesn't Fit

Off-the-shelf tools that almost work, with workarounds layered on top. A custom solution built around your process is often cheaper than you think.

How I Help

Websites, web apps and systems built around your business

Every project has a specific goal — more enquiries, less manual work, or a system that fits how you actually operate. I build what's needed and nothing more.

Professional Websites

Fast, modern websites designed to build trust and generate genuine enquiries. Built from scratch around your business — not a template with your logo dropped in. SEO-ready, mobile-first, and structured to convert the right kind of client.

What you get: a website that does a job, not just an online presence.

Custom Web Applications

Browser-based software built around your workflow — booking systems, client portals, internal dashboards, data management tools, custom CRMs. When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, a bespoke system often costs less than you'd expect.

What you get: software that works exactly how your business works, not the other way around.

Admin & Process Automation

Manual processes, spreadsheets and disconnected tools replaced with systems that run automatically. I map what's costing your team time and build something that removes that overhead — measurably, not just in theory.

What you get: hours back every week and fewer errors, with a clear before-and-after you can measure.

Digital Growth Support

Monthly support for businesses that need consistent help with their website, SEO, paid ads and digital strategy — without the cost of an agency. I work as your on-call digital partner, keeping everything moving.

What you get: a senior developer and strategist on hand every month, without the agency overhead.

The Process

From first conversation to a working solution

Three focused stages — with no surprises, no jargon, and no work starting before you've approved the plan.

01

Discovery

A conversation about what you need and why. Whether that's a new website, a custom system or a process that needs automating — I ask the right questions first, so we build the right thing.

02

Clear Proposal

A written proposal covering what will be built, how long it will take, and exactly what it will cost. You see everything before a single line of code is written.

03

Build, Test & Hand Over

Development with regular updates and check-ins. You test it as it takes shape. Handover includes documentation and training so your team can use it from day one.

Why Arcimedia

I care about the outcome, not just the output

Time Saved, Measurably

I ask what you're doing manually and how long it takes. The goal is to remove that overhead entirely — not to build something that looks impressive but doesn't change anything.

You Work With the Developer

You work directly with Andy Jones — not an account manager relaying messages. Faster decisions, clearer communication, no Chinese whispers.

Honest About What's Worth Building

I'd rather tell you something isn't worth automating than take your money for it. That honesty is why most of my work comes through referral.

Built to Grow With You

Systems built to be extended as your needs evolve — not locked into a vendor or a rigid structure that breaks when you change direction.

AI & Automation

AI built into the tools your team actually uses

The most useful AI capability isn't a chatbot bolted on your homepage — it's automation embedded in the systems your team uses every day. I add AI where it genuinely removes overhead.

Document Processing

Extract and organise information from uploaded documents automatically — no manual data entry, no copying between systems.

Natural Language Search

Let your team search your database using plain English. No more training people on exact field names or filter logic.

Automatic Categorisation

Incoming data — enquiries, documents, records — classified and filed automatically without a person touching it.

Report Summarisation

Useful summaries generated from your data automatically — so the right people get the right information without manual compilation.

AI in the Build Process

I use AI throughout development — to work faster, catch issues earlier and deliver cleaner code. You get higher quality output in less time.

Not Sure Where AI Fits?

Not sure where AI could save you time? Get in touch and I'll give you an honest assessment — not a buzzword pitch.
