01What I Do
Everything from design to launch.
You get one person who manages your entire project — no juggling multiple people or companies.
02Recent Work
Real projects for real businesses.
South Coast Chauffeur
A brand-new website for an executive chauffeur based near Chichester, carrying clients across the south coast in an immaculate BMW 7 Series. The design mirrors the service itself — deep navy and gold, elegant serif typography, and real photography of the car and driver in place of stock imagery.
Plywood Warehouse
A complete e-commerce build for an independent trade plywood merchant in Kings Langley, supplying trade and self-build customers across Hertfordshire and London at genuine wholesale prices. The entire range — 26 product lines across nine departments, from birch and marine ply to phenolic, MDF, OSB and building boards — is shoppable online, with per-thickness pricing and live stock on every board, instant search and department filtering, a slide-out basket and secure checkout by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
MoreThan Tiling
A brand-new website for a skilled local tiler and bathroom renovator based in Yapton, built to turn his outstanding reputation into a steady stream of enquiries across West Sussex. The design lets the craftsmanship lead — a full-bleed photographic hero, a warm and confident palette, and a gallery of real recent work spanning bathrooms, wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Anderson Parker Plastering
A brand-new website for a specialist heritage and lime plasterer based in Selsey, built to win the kind of careful, high-value restoration work his craftsmanship deserves. The design leans into the trade itself — a warm, characterful palette of lime, cream and sage, elegant editorial typography and real on-site photography that lets the workmanship do the talking.
Kalani Ghost Hunter
A full brand and content hub for a high-profile food and paranormal influencer with a global following. Built to keep his audience engaged and coming back — live blog, YouTube feed, multi-platform channel directory, Shopify merch store, newsletter sign-up, and contact all in one place.
Selsey Community Nursery
A complete website overhaul for a much-loved community nursery and registered charity in Selsey — taken on as a voluntary project to give the team a platform worthy of the work they do. Alongside a bright, welcoming, child-first redesign, I built a full self-service admin area so staff can publish and manage everything themselves: rolling news and announcements, events and open days, weekly nursery menus, term dates, policies and more — all without a developer.
Dell Cottage Cattery
A brand-new website for a small, family-run cattery in Selsey that had almost no online presence. Designed to turn local searches into bookings, it pairs a calm, reassuring look — warm sage tones, friendly imagery and a clear path to get in touch — with the technical groundwork that helps a local business actually get found: fast, mobile-first pages, SEO and Open Graph metadata, and LocalBusiness structured data so it surfaces cleanly in Google's local results.
03Custom Software

From booking systems to inventory management, I build custom web applications tailored to your business. A few examples:
