Hi there, I'm Dan - freelance web designer and developer with years of experience and many happy clients. I help businesses, individuals and other web agencies improve: online presences, efficiency, cost-effectiveness and customer acquisition & retention by building fast, secure, SEO-friendly and user-friendly client-facing and office-facing websites and systems. I not only build, but provide managed hosting, updates, maintenance, training and consultation. My day-to-day stack is PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS (SASS)/JS (inc jQuery and Vue), though increasingly working with JS/TS on the server side too, and I work with WordPress & Laravel a lot.
What I Do Past Work Get in touch
I am an experienced WordPress & Woocommerce developer. I utilise existing plugins where appropriate and am highly skilled in custom theme and plugin development, having had built WP sites for a wide range of purposes and industries. I make modifications to existing WP sites, build them from scratch, integrate with APIs, provide managed hosting, security, maintenance & support and training.
I use the latest technologies to build fast, secure, user-friendly websites and custom systems. I integrate with the APIs of third-party platforms, where applicable, to save time & money and to increase productivity. My usual stack is PHP and MySQL and of course HTML, CSS & JavaScript/jQuery. I use CodeIgniter or Laravel where WordPress doesn’t suit.
Showcase your products or services and sell them on your own online store. Totally manage your store yourself, through the content managemnt system. I can build your online store, membership or subscription-based website and just about anything else ecommerce related. I am well versed in ecommerce design as well as various third-party services such as payment gateways and shipping integrations.
Starting at just £10 per month, my managed hosting services can be tailored to meet each clients’ needs without including unnecessary features. I provide shared hosting as well as VPS and bare metal/dedicated hosting. I utilise modern cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud and Digital Ocean. We’ll discuss your requirements and what features you may need, such as backups, malware scanning, a web application firewall, a CDN and more, including more highly-available setups. My managed hosting services can be combined with maintenance, support and updates into one monthly price.
I offer consultation across a range of topics, tools, content management systems and third-party platforms/SaaS’s. Common topics include WordPress, hosting/servers and payment gateways.
Range & DepthNot only do I know my stuff in terms of backend and frontend development technologies, but also (Linux) server management; things that usually only DevOps people would know anything about; SEO; third-party SaaS's; and more.
GreatThroughout our relationship I strive to provide a great service, not just in the final deliverable but throughout. I am both the tech guy and the customer service guy so you are always talking directly to the guy who's doing your job.
QuickI am able to provide turnaround times quicker than many others, partyly due to the fact there'll be no middle man/account manager between you and I. I'm especially happy to provide quicker turn arounds for emergencies.
Honest &No hidden fees, no sneeky copyright assignment clauses. I give clear prices and deliver exactly what was asked for and given in writing.
