WordPress websites
I specialise in building websites on the WordPress content management system.
I build all websites by hand to your exact design 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 don’t use ‘off-the-shelf’ templates.
I favour WordPress as my CMS of choice because it has great expandability and because I have a great deal of experience with it. I can also build custom plugins to tailor a site to very specific needs.

About

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 £36/hr (£270/day)

FAQs
Some common questions answered.
My skills cover both, however I predominantly take on jobs that have a strong front-end development bias as it’s what I do best and enjoy most.
No, I do not consider myself a designer. I generally work with designs supplied by the clients or their appointed designer. I can recommend an associate if you are in need of design services prior to hiring me to carry out the build.
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.
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.
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.
This depends entirely on what the website requirements are in terms of functionality. As a guide though, if you supply the designs then a typical small to medium sized business site would likely cost in the region of £1k to £3k to build. Larger, or more complex, sites would cost more. Send me a brief and I will provide you with a quote.
I don’t provide face-to-face training. But I am happy to offer support and advice via telephone and email during the build, and also post launch if you take out one of my website support plans.
