Good-looking outside. Well-built inside.

I have spent more than 20 years building with PHP. Laravel is my usual choice for bringing a new web application to life, from the first useful feature to the systems behind it.

Let’s talk about your project

New Laravel applications

Turn an idea into a working product with the accounts, permissions, data and workflows it actually needs. We can define a useful first release and build from there.

Existing PHP projects

Have a codebase that needs attention? I can review how it works, identify the constraints and agree a practical approach to fixes, upgrades or new features.

Front end to back end

I work across HTML, CSS, JavaScript and server-side PHP, so the user interface and underlying application are considered together.

Development partnerships

An extra pair of experienced hands for an agency or an ongoing technical partner for your business. We agree scope, responsibilities and communication from the outset.

A good fit
for good ideas.

Businesses, product founders and agencies looking for an experienced PHP developer they can talk to directly.

Based in Yeovil, Somerset. Available remotely wherever you are, with in-person meetings locally by arrangement.

A little clarity.

Do I need to be based in Somerset?

Not at all. I’m based in Yeovil, but we can work together remotely wherever you are. If an in-person meeting would be useful, we can arrange one locally in Yeovil or the surrounding area.

Can you build both the website and the back end?

Yes. I build front ends in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and server-side systems in PHP, usually with Laravel. That can mean a business website, a customer portal or a complete web application.

How much will my project cost?

It depends on the scope, content and functionality. Tell me what you need, any existing systems and your budget or timescale. We can then agree a clear scope and quote before work starts.

Can you help with an existing website?

Yes. Share what you have and what you want to improve. I’ll need to understand the current setup before recommending a fix, a new feature or a rebuild.

Will the website be ready for search engines?

I consider page structure, mobile usability, performance and technical SEO during the build. Rankings also depend on the quality of your content and the competition; a new website cannot guarantee a particular position in Google.
