Websites built by hand, not assembled from templates.

How I build

  • stack

    Hand-written PHP & MySQL

    Every site is coded from the ground up, so you get exactly the features you need and nothing you don't - no unused plugin bloat slowing pages down.

  • security

    Secure by default

    Prepared statements, sanitised input and no exposed error output in production - the basics that keep a small business site off the front page of a breach report.

  • performance

    Lean, indexed, fast

    Efficient database queries and minimal markup mean pages load quickly on any connection, which matters for both visitors and search rankings.

  • offline

    Progressive web apps

    Service workers and home-screen install support, so your site can work offline and feel like a native app where it counts.

Who this is for

Artisans, independent professionals and small businesses who've outgrown a template site, or who want to skip one altogether. If you need something faster, more secure, or backed by a real database rather than a stack of plugins, that's the work I do.
