I handle everything from product setup and payment gateways to custom checkout flows and third-party integrations.
I build and maintain WordPress websites that are fast, secure, and easy for you to manage yourself.

Monthly plans covering security updates, performance monitoring, backups, and priority support.
Not sure which service fits your needs? Get in touch and I’ll point you in the right direction.
You get a developer who actually cares whether your project succeeds.
I’m Dan — a freelance Laravel & WordPress developer with over 18 years of experience building websites and web applications for businesses across the UK.
I work directly with every client myself, which means clear communication, honest timelines, and no one getting lost in translation between you and the person writing your code.
I started freelancing because clients deserved better than the agency model — slow communication, inflated costs, and account managers sitting between you and the developer. When you work with me, you get straight answers and a developer who genuinely invests in your success.

What Makes Working With Me Different
You Work Directly With Me
No account managers, no junior developers, no outsourcing. Every line of code is written by me and every conversation is with me — from initial brief through to final launch and beyond.
Honest, Transparent Communication
I give realistic timelines, flag problems early, and never go quiet on a client. You'll always know where your project stands without having to chase for an update.
The Right Solution for Your Budget
I don't upsell services you don't need. I'll tell you honestly what technology fits your requirements and your budget — even if that means recommending a simpler solution.
15+ Years of Real-World Experience
I've been building websites and web applications for over 15 years. That experience means I've seen what works, what doesn't, and how to avoid the mistakes that cost time and money.
