Contract out your
website development work
Do you provide website services to your clients, but don’t always have an in-house developer available to call on?
Hire
Full service from scoping and analysis through to deployment and beyond.
Sub-contracting your website development work to a professional freelancer can help you to expand your business, or simply take on extra work that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do.
I currently work with a number of different design and marketing agencies. Working in a collaborative manner as an extension to their existing team of designers, copywriters and subject matter experts.
So, if this sounds like you, and you’d like to add an experienced web developer to your extended team then get in touch for a chat.

Bespoke WordPress web development
I specialise in building websites on the WordPress content management system.
This doesn’t mean using off-the-shelf templates. I build all websites by hand to your designer’s exact requirements. It’s what my client’s expect and is the only way to deliver a top quality, well-optimised end product that can be fully supported for the lifetime of the website.
I favour WordPress as my CMS of choice because it has great expandability and I am very familiar with it’s workings. I can also build custom plugins to tailor a site to very specific needs.

About
I am a professional web developer, based near Southampton, UK.
I have been a developer for more than 27 years, working for a number of design and marketing agencies across the South of England. Around 7 years ago I decided to go freelance and set up my own business providing website development services.
Honesty and reliability are the backbones of the service I provide. You can be sure of a professional service at all times.
All jobs are costed in advance so you know exactly what you will be paying.
Rates start from £35/hr (£262/day)
FAQs
Are you a front-end or back-end developer?
My skills cover both, however I predominantly take on jobs that have a strong front-end development bias as it’s what I enjoy most.
Do you provide design services?
No, I do not consider myself a designer. I generally work with external designers so can recommend an associate if you are in need of design services.
What is your current availability?
This varies greatly, but it’s not uncommon for me to be booked up several weeks in advance . The best thing to do is simply contact me and ask.
Can you work at our location?
Sorry, but I am unable to do this. I only work remotely. But with today’s technologies, collaborating at a distance has become easy and efficient.
Will you sign an NDA?
As long as the NDA is in plain English, doesn’t require a solicitor to decipher, and doesn’t compromise my existing business relationships, then yes.
How much will a website build cost if we supply the design?
This depends entirely on what the website requirements are in terms of functionality. As a guide though, a typical small business site would likely cost in the region of £1k to £3k. Larger, or more complex, sites would cost more. Send me a brief and I will provide you with a quote.
Do you provide training?
I don't provide face-to-face training, but every website I build is delivered with online training for WordPress 5 included.
