Seems an odd thing to say, but I really do enjoy building sites, making the designs come to life in a browser.

Contact UsI’ve been developing web sites since 2002, and decided to take the plunge as freelance in the Summer of 2014. I work freelance for web agencies in the Surrey and London areas, but am happy to work privately for individuals as well. I specialise in developing bespoke WordPress themes from flat designs. Having looked after 100s of websites in my life and been in charge of several web servers, I have excellent experience in hosting and troubleshooting websites.
I live in Horley, Surrey with my wife, two daughters, two cats and 4 chickens. I’m a keen runner, cyclist and swimmer (and therefore triathlete), follow Reading FC and Sussex CCC.

Huge site. WordPress, fully responsive, lots of content to export over. I wrote a script to take their ASP/SQL Server driven news site to port across to WordPress/mySQL rather than manually import 100s of posts.

Landscape and Garden design website. This was built using WordPress using the Roots starter theme which allows excellent things such as Grunt and LESS. Although Roots is responsive out of the box due to it being based on Bootstrap, this site was requested by the client to be a fixed design, so I had to take the responsiveness out. A fairly simple site consisting of just six WordPress templates such as the homepage, standard second level pages, portfolio and blog sections.
