My work: websites, apps and tools I've built
Real work for real businesses.
Everything on this page is my own work, from the first chat to the finished result. There's no junior team and no hand-off.
Most of my clients are small local businesses: a village pub, a Thai restaurant, a cleaning company. Some came to me stuck on a platform they'd outgrown. I've moved businesses off WordPress, Wix, Adobe and Shopify onto fast, simple websites they can keep up to date themselves. Others needed something a website alone couldn't do, like an app for the staff behind the bar or a training tool for a busy kitchen.
Each case study explains, in plain English, what the problem was, what I built and how it's going.

Drinks board app for a hospitality client
Barrel
A live drinks board app I built for a client in hospitality: one QR code, no app to download, and it keeps working when the signal drops.

More work, kept confidential
Some of the people I work with would rather not be named, and I'm always happy to respect that. These stories leave out the names but keep what matters: how I worked, what I delivered and how it turned out.
