What I do

I work best when outcomes matter and the detail needs nailing down. Clear thinking first, defined scope, and delivery you can rely on.

01consulting

Functional & Technical Specification

Most projects go off track because the detail was not defined early enough. I turn ideas into structured specifications that align stakeholders, remove ambiguity, and make delivery straightforward.

02development

Plan, Design, Architect & Build

From architecture and UX through to a production ready build. Clean delivery, clear checkpoints, and a system tested properly before launch, not stitched together at the end.

03hosting

Scalable, Secure UK Hosting

Fast, secure hosting set up properly from day one. UK hosted infrastructure that is monitored, backed up, and built for serious projects, not shared environments that become a risk later.

04support

Monthly Support & Maintenance

Launch is where most projects start drifting. Ongoing support keeps changes controlled, performance strong, and nothing quietly breaking while the business moves on.

// about

Good web work starts with good decisions.

I've spent 15+ years delivering websites, apps, and web systems for ambitious teams. The work is technical, but the real value is clarity: knowing what matters, what doesn't, and how to ship without drift.

I start with outcomes, constraints, and decision points. That turns a build into a commercial asset, not a collection of features that grows without control.

Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, working across the UK. Hosting is UK based as standard, for reliability, performance, and peace of mind.

How it works

step 01

Discover

We get clear on outcomes, users, constraints, and success criteria, removing assumptions early so delivery decisions are grounded and commercial.

step 02

Specify

A clear functional and technical specification: included scope, exclusions, dependencies, and acceptance criteria, so everyone knows what's delivered and how change is handled.

step 03

Build

Structured delivery with clear checkpoints. Design, architecture, development, and testing, leading to a production ready launch with no surprises.

step 04

Support

Ongoing support, maintenance, and improvements with continuity. Fixes and change requests handled by someone who already knows the system.
