What I do

  • Shopify development

    I build Shopify stores around how your customers buy, from a first launch to a migration off a platform that is costing you sales.

    See how I work with Shopify 
  • WooCommerce development

    I build bespoke WooCommerce themes from scratch with no page builders, so your store loads fast, ranks well and stays yours.

  • Laravel development

    When off-the-shelf platforms cannot do what your business needs, I build it exactly: custom web applications, dashboards and CMS-driven websites shaped around your workflow.

Tools I trust WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Laravel, PHP, Tailwind CSS and Statamic.

Not sure which platform fits?

I build on both, so I have no reason to push you either way. Here is the honest version.

Choose Shopify if…

Hosting: managed for you. Time to launch: fastest.

  • Your products are straightforward (clothing, beauty, jewellery).
  • You want hosted, low-maintenance and easy to manage.
  • You want to launch fast on proven theme foundations.
  • You need a standard checkout and a standard catalogue.

Choose WooCommerce if…

Hosting: self-hosted. Control: full ownership.

  • You need complex product configurations or variants.
  • You want full ownership of your code and data.
  • You need integrations that a hosted platform locks you out of.
  • Your store needs to do more than just sell.

Still not sure?

Tell me what you are selling and how your business works, and I will tell you which platform fits, with no agenda either way.

Ask me which fits 

Why work with a freelance developer?

When you work with me, you work with me. Not an account manager relaying messages, not a junior developer you have never spoken to, and not someone different every time you chase an update.

I handle your project from the first conversation through to launch day and beyond. One person knows your business, your codebase and your goals, and that person is accountable for every decision, every line of code and every deadline.

No handoffs means nothing gets lost between teams who don't talk to each other.

Common questions

01 How long does a typical project take?

Most projects take between 4 and 12 weeks depending on scope. I'll give you a realistic timeline before any work starts, with no vague promises. The biggest factor in hitting that timeline is how quickly you can provide content, product information and feedback. I keep things moving on my end and I'll be upfront about what I need from you to stay on track.

02 Do you handle design?

Yes. I work with a trusted local designer I've partnered with for years. You deal with me: I manage the design process, present concepts, gather your feedback, and coordinate revisions. One point of contact for the whole project, design included.

03 What happens after launch?

I don't disappear once your site goes live. I offer ongoing support for updates, fixes, and improvements, and I can manage your hosting so that's one less thing on your plate. Most of my clients stay in touch long after launch, because they know I already understand their setup inside out.

04 How do we communicate during a project?

Email. Everything in one place: decisions, feedback, files. Nothing buried in a WhatsApp thread or lost in a text message. I respond to every email by the end of the next working day so you're never left wondering where things stand.

Got a project in mind? Let's talk.

Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you by the end of the next working day with my initial thoughts.
