Web development that ships dependable websites

Positioning

I care most about what your customers need from the site: clear journeys, fast first paint, copy and layout that answer real questions, and a codebase that stays easy to change when priorities shift. Fancy stacks are optional; simplicity is the default with fewer dependencies, fewer surprises, and honest trade-offs called out early.

A lot of that work is static-site shaped: pre-rendered pages, islands only where interactivity earns its keep, and hosting that is boring in a good way. You will get senior judgement on structure, accessibility, and performance without the overhead of a permanent hire which is ideal for launches, marketing sites, content-led products, or a calm rebuild after something overgrown. React, Next.js, and Astro are all in play; the choice follows the need, not the trend.

Evidence of delivery: websites, projects, and templates.

Services offered

• Managed websites: hosting, domains, emails, security, and monitoring
• Frontend development: component systems, accessibility-minded UI, state and data-loading patterns that hold up at scale
• Full-stack apps: pragmatic API design, auth flows, integrations, especially with static sites, serverless-friendly APIs, and headless setups
• Static sites / headless CMS: structured content, preview workflows, SEO-friendly rendering models
• Website optimisation : vitals, bundle discipline, caching, and edge-friendly delivery
• Web animations : transitions that clarify hierarchy, feedback that feels instant, and motion that survives real devices

Why hire me

• Performance-focused by default: speed is a feature, not an afterthought
• Clean, maintainable code: naming, boundaries, and tests where they earn their keep
• Strong UX sense: judgment about what should feel instant, what can wait, and what will confuse users
• Startup-friendly: direct updates, scoped milestones, and decisions documented so the team stays aligned

Process

1. Discovery. Goals, constraints, analytics, and the parts of the product that hurt revenue or retention.
2. Build. Incremental delivery with reviewable chunks; less “big bang rewrite”, more steady progress you can ship in stages when needed.
3. Iterate. Instrument, learn, tighten loops. Performance and UX improvements land continuously, not only at the end.
4. Launch. Hardening: monitoring, rollback strategy, SEO checks for public surfaces, and handover notes.

Tech stack

React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Astro, Supabase (or similar Postgres or MySQL backends), Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare deployments, and typical CI/CD flows. I integrate with your existing choices rather than forcing a rewrite for ideology.

At a glance — tools that show up often (not every stack uses every item):

Ideal clients

• Startups shipping v1 and v2 under real deadlines
• Founders who want technical honesty and predictable execution
• SaaS teams that need senior UI ownership without hiring friction
• Small and medium businesses that need a reliable web presence without the cost of an agency

If you are looking for a web developer in the UK or European timezone with a clearRect communication style and a focus on delivering value, then I'm the developer for you.

Pricing

Pricing depends on scope, risk, and timeline. Typical models:

• Fixed-scope sprint for a defined milestone (launch slice, rebuild, performance pass)
• Monthly retainer for ongoing ownership across frontend and adjacent full-stack work
• Review + roadmap for long-term projects and ongoing support

Share your timeline, stack, and the outcome you need. I will respond with a crisp proposal, not a generic rate card that avoids reality.
