Hi, I'm Dan — Freelance Web Developer Based in Swansea, Wales

15+ years of professional experience across agencies, in-house teams, and direct client work — now fully freelance and taking on new projects.

You get a developer who's actually done this at every level.

I’m Dan Bevan — a freelance web developer based in Swansea with over 12 years of professional experience building websites and web applications for businesses
across the UK. I’ve worked in-house at Admiral, developed MVC applications for global banks at Vizolution, built government and NHS digital services at Zaizi and NHS Shared Services, and delivered client websites across multiple agencies before going fully freelance. That breadth of experience means I bring a level of technical rigour and professional discipline to every project that most freelancers simply can’t match.

I specialise in Laravel for bespoke application development and WordPress for content-driven sites and e-commerce — but my background covers the full stack, from React, Angular and Vue.js on the frontend to PHP, Node.js, and MySQL on the back. I work directly with every client myself, from first conversation to final launch, 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.

My Approach

01

Understand first

I take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your users before writing a single line of code. Having worked across agencies, in-house teams, and enterprise environments, I know that a well-scoped project saves time and money.

02

Build it properly

I write clean, maintainable code built to last. No shortcuts, no technical debt — solid foundations you can build on. My experience working to enterprise standards at Admiral and Zaizi means I apply the same rigour to every project regardless of size.

03

Deliver and support

I don’t disappear after launch. I offer ongoing support and maintenance plans so your project stays fast, secure, and up to date long after go-live. You’ll always have a direct line to the person who built it.
