Services

Clear services for businesses that need more than a template.

I design and build across custom development, Shopify, and ongoing support — with scope defined upfront so you know exactly what you are getting.

One point of contact

You work directly with me from scope to launch — no handoffs between designers and developers.

Honest platform advice

I recommend Shopify when ecommerce is the job, and custom builds when the brief needs more — not whatever is easiest to sell.

Built for the long term

Modern foundations, sensible structure, and documentation so your site is maintainable after delivery.

UK-based delivery

Based in the United Kingdom, working with clients nationwide and open to the right projects further afield.

Custom development

Bespoke websites and web products built with Next.js — designed around how your audience actually uses them.

How it works

A straightforward process from first call to launch.

Every project follows the same clear structure — discovery, design, build, and launch — whether it is a custom platform or a Shopify refresh.

01

Discover

I start with your business, audience, and goals — not a pre-built template. Clear scope upfront means fewer surprises later.

02

Design

Wireframes and visual design focused on how people will actually use the site — navigation, hierarchy, and conversion.

03

Build

Custom Next.js development or Shopify theme work, with regular check-ins so you can see progress as we go.

04

Launch

Testing, polish, and a clean handover — with optional ongoing support so the site keeps improving after go-live.

Choosing the right fit

Not sure where your project sits?

Selling products online?

If you need cart, checkout, inventory, and product management, Shopify is usually the right platform. I handle new store builds and refreshes of existing ones.

Need something more custom?

Listings, guides, filters, editorial content, or a marketing site that has outgrown its current setup — that is where a custom Next.js build makes sense.

Already live?

Landing pages, enquiry flows, and care plans are designed for businesses with sites already running that need focused improvements or reliable ongoing support.
