Design
Clear, responsive websites that look professional on phones, tablets and desktop screens.
"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
A modern business website is not just a design job. It needs hosting, security, reliable email handling, fast pages, sensible content, forms that work, backups, updates, redirects, search descriptions and someone who can fix things when they break. Some mornings, the server has done 6 impossible things before you have even got out of bed...
Code
Bespoke Perl/PHP systems, data-driven pages, forms, product listings, booking tools and client admin areas.
Management
Hosting, server care, domain support, SSL, troubleshooting, search updates and day-to-day website maintenance.

What I can build and manage
The best projects are usually the ones where the website has to do something useful for the business or creative person, not just sit online smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Business websites
Search-friendly sites for trades, services, authors, artists, shops, accommodation, training providers and specialist businesses.
Product catalogues
Fast, practical catalogue systems where clients can manage categories, items, descriptions, photos, enquiries and buying links.
Forms and secure enquiries
Contact forms, quote forms, order forms, enquiry logging, email delivery checks, anti-spam measures and reliable handover to the client.
Bookings, courses and certificates
Online registration, booking requests, course material, questionnaires, client login areas and certificate generation.
Search and content support
Page titles, meta descriptions, structured content, local search pages, redirects and practical improvements for search visibility.
Website rescue work
When a supplier disappears, a site breaks, email fails or old code needs saving, I can usually get things working again quickly.

I am useful when you need a website person who understands the whole chain: design, code, hosting, DNS, email, security, search, content and the pressures of running a small business.
For new projects
I can plan, design, write and launch a new website with the right structure from the beginning.
For existing sites
I can improve, rebuild, move, rescue or simplify an older website without losing what already works.
For long-term clients
I can keep the website running, add pages, update content, adjust forms and deal with the technical problems that appear over time.
Need help with a website?
Tell me what you are trying to achieve. I can usually suggest the most practical route: a new site, a rebuild, a rescue, or a managed improvement plan.
