Design is only half the job. The other half is making sure the site actually works: quickly, reliably, and without falling over the moment it gets real traffic. Working with an independent developer means working directly with the person writing the code, with no intermediaries and no waiting on a project manager to relay a question.

Platforms
Comfortable working in WordPress, Elementor, and Divi, as well as building from scratch with modern tools like Astro when a client doesn't need a CMS at all. The platform is chosen to fit the project, not the other way around.
Based in Stirling, working with clients across the UK. Every build is handled directly by one developer from first call to launch, with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

COMMON QUESTIONS
About Website Development
Do you build custom themes or use existing frameworks?
Both, depending on the project: custom-coded themes when something bespoke is needed, or a proven builder like Elementor or Divi when ease of future editing matters more.
Can you take over development on a site someone else built?
In most cases, yes. A quick technical review comes first, so you know exactly what's involved before any work starts.
What if my site needs a plugin that doesn't already exist?
That's what custom plugin development is for: built specifically for what your site needs, rather than stitching together three plugins that half do the job.
Do you fix bugs or performance problems on sites you didn't build?
Yes, after a technical review to understand what's actually causing the issue. Sometimes it's a quick fix; sometimes the underlying setup needs more substantial work, and you'll know which before anything starts.
How do you handle testing before a site goes live?
Cross-browser and cross-device checks, broken link and form testing, and a performance pass against Core Web Vitals, all before launch rather than treating the live site as the test environment.
Can you work alongside my existing designer or marketing team?
Yes, development work fits around whoever else is involved in a project. Clear technical handoffs matter more than who's doing the design.
