I build assessment and certification systems for UK organisations that assess people and have to keep an auditable record of it. I also build websites for businesses that need one. Solo, from a desk in the UK, no agency overhead.

I've had a great experience working with this company for both my website development and hosting. From the beginning, they took the time to understand what I wanted and delivered a professional, modern website that exceeded my expectations. The hosting has been reliable, and whenever I've needed support or had a question, the team has responded quickly and been genuinely helpful. It's reassuring to work with a company that provides excellent customer service and is always willing to go the extra mile. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-quality website and dependable hosting services. Thank you for your excellent work!

Oliver is incredibly adaptable and well versed in his skillset. He can produce high quality work in a short amount of time and is always open to take on challenges, even if these are outside his comfort zone. I was personally blown away by the quality of his work multiple times. Aside from that, he communicates fast and in a clear manner making him super pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!

BUILDING SINCE
2018

I spent four years at agencies building the same overcomplicated CMS for the same Fortune 500 clients. The work was fine. The output was forgettable.

Now I work with small UK businesses where the website actually matters: the local studio whose booking flow is killing conversions, the awarding body whose exam portal is held together by spreadsheets. Smaller projects, real outcomes, faster shipping.

I take on roughly one project a month. Sometimes two if they're small. I'd rather do four good things a year than twelve mediocre ones.

Availability · one project at a time

You get me. Not a project manager.

I take on one build at a time, which is why the work gets finished when I say it will. It also means the calendar fills up, so if you have a date in mind, it’s worth asking early.
