My skills

The main tools I use are PHP and JavaScript, the most popular programming languages of the web. I’ve been coding with these pillars of the internet for 15 years.

I have learnt modern frameworks that get the best out of them, most notably Laravel, for back-end development, and Vue.js for front-end. I’ve also been using the TALL stack – Tailwind CSS, Livewire and Alpine.js.

Going back further, I have loads of experience with jQuery and Vanilla JavaScript, as well as the HTML and CSS.

I live in Lichfield, UK. However, that doesn’t matter, I can work anywhere and am willing to travel. Most of my work is computer based, so I can carry out the work from my home office, or visit you. Whatever is best for the project.

I have worked with travel brands, health companies, marketing agencies, county councils, local businesses and individual entrepreneurs from Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, Tamworth, Rugeley, Burntwood, Walsall, Cannock, Stafford, Burton upon Trent and further afield. I’m happy to give anything a go!

UI Design & Illustration

Part of being a web developer is getting the front-end visual right. This means having a good eye for detail and being able to create graphics and illustrations to match. I can do this too…

Databases and APIs

Making a large application means handling and manipulating data. I have worked with and created APIs that do the hard work behind the scenes of a complex system.

How I can help

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website or web app cost?

It depends on what it needs to do. A small brochure website is a modest project, while a members’ platform with payments, messaging and search is a large one. Send me a short outline of what you need and I’ll reply with an estimate.

What does a freelance web developer do?

I design and build websites, web apps, e-commerce stores and business systems such as CRMs and ERPs, from the database and back end through to the design and front end. Because I do both the development and the design, you deal with one person from first idea to launch.

Why Laravel rather than WordPress?

Laravel is a PHP framework that suits custom features: logins, bookings, payments, admin systems and integrations. WordPress is fine for a simple content site, but heavy customisation tends to mean piling on plugins. I use Laravel for most new builds, with Livewire, Alpine, Vue.js and Tailwind on the front end.

Do you only work with businesses in Lichfield?

No. I’m based in Lichfield and work with businesses in Sutton Coldfield, Tamworth, Rugeley, Burntwood, Walsall, Cannock, Stafford and Burton upon Trent, but most of the work is computer-based, so I can work with you from anywhere and I’m happy to travel.

Can you improve or replace my existing website or older system?

Yes. I can support legacy systems and older technologies as well as build new ones. Tell me what you have and what’s not working, and I’ll advise whether it’s best to update it or rebuild it.
