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.

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

From £800

Fast, modern websites built from scratch, designed to build trust, rank in search, and convert the right visitors into enquiries. Not a template with your logo dropped in.

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

Web Applications & Business Systems

From £2,000

Browser-based software built around your workflow: booking systems, client portals, dashboards, databases and integrations. When off-the-shelf doesn’t fit, a bespoke system often costs less than you’d expect.

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

AI Automation

Scoped per project

AI that reads the document, sorts the enquiry and drafts the reply inside your existing systems, with a person approving what matters. I pick the simpler option whenever it does the job.

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

Learn more →

AI & Google Search Visibility

Scoped per project

Customers find you on Google and, increasingly, by asking an AI. I make your site easy for search engines and AI assistants to read, trust and cite, then check whether it worked.

What you get: a site that Google and AI assistants can read, trust and recommend, with a measured before and after.

Support & Growth

From £100 a month

Monthly support to keep your site or system secure, up to date and improving, with optional help on SEO, ads and digital strategy. A senior developer on hand without the cost of an agency.

What you get: a long-term technical partner, 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 I 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.

Real Results

Working with me
A typical agency
Who you deal with
Me, directly. The person building it answers the phone.
An account manager relaying messages to the people doing the work.
What it costs
The budget goes on the work, with no overhead to cover.
Account managers, coordinators and office space built into the price.
The advice you get
I'll tell you if something isn't worth building or automating.
Every problem is a project.
What success means
Hours saved and enquiries won, measured against where you started.
Something delivered on time that looks impressive.
Down the line
Built to be extended, not locked into a vendor or a rigid structure.
A support queue, and a rebuild when your needs change.

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.
