My Story

From corporate development to strategic WordPress consulting

I started in corporate development, building systems where a bad technical call could cost a business real money — not just an ugly bug report. That's the standard I still hold WordPress work to. Here's the path that got me here.

  • The foundation

    Corporate development

    More than 10 years ago I began my career in corporate development, working on systems where requirements were complex and the cost of getting it wrong was high. That's the standard I still hold WordPress work to.

    Complex systemsBusiness-critical code
  • The shift

    Moving into WordPress

    Working with agencies and a range of business types, I built deep, hands-on expertise in WordPress — and shifted from one-off delivery toward longer consulting relationships.

    Shipping my own products

    Consulting sharpened the tools I wish existed — so I started building and releasing them: plugins and free tools that solve the problems I kept running into on client work.

  • What I do now

    Architecture, WooCommerce & performance

    WordPress architecture, WooCommerce builds, and performance work — the kind that holds up after launch, not just at the demo.

    Fixed-price partner for UK businesses

    I work fixed-price with UK businesses, from complex e-commerce platforms to high-performance business sites — always against a clearly agreed scope.

Why businesses hire me

Fewer surprises, clearer decisions, work that's still maintainable next year.

Most clients have already been burned by vague scope or a developer who disappeared after launch. They come to me for a fixed price, a clear plan, and someone who's still reachable six months in.

Fixed Scope, No Surprises

You get a fixed price and a defined deliverable list before work starts — not an open-ended hourly clock.

I Tell You When Something's a Bad Idea

If a request will cost more than it's worth, I'll say so before you pay for it, not after.

Built to Outlast the Project

Code and architecture decisions are made so the site still makes sense to maintain in two years, not just at launch.

How I Work

Three things that don't change from project to project.

1

Code That Holds Up

Clean, maintainable WordPress built to best practices — so the next developer who touches it (or I do, a year later) isn't untangling shortcuts.

2

Still Around After Launch

Most of my clients come back for the next project or stay on a care plan. I'd rather build a relationship than disappear once the invoice is paid.

Straight Answers

If something you're asking for is overkill, underpowered, or the wrong tool for the job, I'll tell you — even if the more expensive option would've been the easier sale.
