Services

I offer a comprehensive range of tailored, cost-effective freelance and consultancy services.

My extensive and varied experience in web development, where each project is unique, ensures that your project receives the expert and personalised attention it needs and deserves.

Bespoke Website & Software Development

Custom website and application development (particularly with a focus on front‑end and user experience) is at the heart of what I have been doing for the past twenty‑three years. I produce high‑quality, optimised web applications with the attention to detail that only those years of experience can provide.

Project Architecture & Management

A project requires an experienced hand to help it take shape and manage its implementation from an initial idea. I work with you, your stakeholders, your team, and sometimes even your customers to put together a project scope and plan. This often includes wireframes, interface concepts, technical plans, and architecture, all based on my collected requirements.

Performance Audits

Boost your existing website's performance with an expert audit. My audit includes:

A review of your website code and infrastructure;
Testing of your website performance on different devices and browsers;
Identification of any performance bottlenecks;
Concise technical recommendations for improving your website's performance.

Search Engine Optimisation

SEO (or 'Search Engine Optimisation') is the art of ensuring that your website is as performant and accessible as possible to help boost your position in search results such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. Much of how a website performs comes from the way it has been developed.

When combined with my performance and accessibility audits (and maybe even my technical writing and/or code review services), I offer a comprehensive analysis of your website's current performance and a tailored optimisation strategy for on‑page optimisations that will help improve and sustain your rankings.

Accessibility & Usability Reviews

I offer a comprehensive accessibility and usability review service which will help identify areas where your website can be improved for all users, and especially those with disabilities. My reviews include:

A review of your website's compliance with accessibility standards;
Hands‑on testing of your website using the same assistive technologies your customers use;
Recommendations for improving your website's accessibility and usability.

Ongoing Support & Maintenance

Once your project is complete, I offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure that your website or application is always up and running smoothly. This includes:

Keeping your website up‑to‑date with the latest security patches;
Quickly fixing any bugs or errors that may occur;
Introducing new features and changes as needed;
Providing technical support by always being a simple email away.

Project Hosting

If you are looking for a reliable and affordable hosting solution, I can help! I offer a variety of hosting plans to meet your needs, and I can customise your hosting environment to your specific project requirements. My hosting plans are affordable, secure, scalable, and customisable. They go hand‑in‑hand with my support and maintenance contracts.

Development Leadership & Mentoring

As a lead‑level developer, I am often embedded directly into leadership roles within my client's existing technical teams. This allows me the opportunity to help hire, develop, and offer hands‑on training and mentoring. I can help your team set goals, develop plans, track progress, and improve communication, with the quality of your product improving as a result.

Technical Writing & Documentation

Once a creative and published writer, I now focus on technical writing. My skills in crafting effective website content boost user engagement and search engine rankings. Internally, my expertise in codebases and services documentation can streamline developer onboarding and ensure clarity in feature integration.

For both, I can offer clear, concise, and accurate documentation and articles on a wide variety of technical subjects.

Code Reviews & Optimisation

As projects grow and more developers become involved in the codebase, digital products can become bloated, lose their uniform approaches, and begin to slow down. I help by offering:

In‑depth code reviews for efficiency and reliability;
Code optimisation for improved performance;
Guidance on best practices and modern coding standards.

Use my experience to help make your project as streamlined and future‑ready as possible.

Creative Partnerships & Development

A key challenge for creative design agencies is finding a technical developer with a similar ethos and creative vision who can translate their visionary concepts into digital realities. With decades of experience in the field, this is where I step in.

Rather than a service provider who takes designs and converts them into websites, I am a genuine, hands‑on, collaborative partner (and sometimes co‑founder) who can respect your original vision and aesthetic while ensuring technical feasibility and future scalability. I undertake joint ventures and build lasting relationships.
