building and maintaining live sites
Service 01
Web development
The stage most agencies hand to a subcontractor, I still complete myself. Twenty-six years of writing and reviewing code mean the sites I deliver are stable long after handover, not only on launch day.
As a freelance web developer, I take responsibility for the build itself, not only the plan behind it. That covers custom-built sites and rebuilds, ecommerce, and the maintenance a site needs once it is live.

What this covers
- Custom-built sites and rebuilds, on WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, or a hand-coded stack where a template will not stretch far enough
- Ecommerce builds: product catalogues, checkout and payment setup, shipping and tax rules, stock synchronised with existing systems
- Integrations with the tools a business already runs on: CRM, booking systems, email platforms, accounting software, analytics
- Migrations off outdated platforms without losing search rankings, page history, or content
- Performance work: image and script optimisation, caching, hosting configuration, Core Web Vitals
- Security and maintenance: patching, backups, uptime monitoring, and a defined response time when something breaks
A good fit if…
A site that has outgrown its platformSlow, difficult to edit, or built on something no longer supported.
A new ecommerce launchProducts ready to sell, with no working store to sell them through yet.
A legacy migrationMoving off an old CMS or a developer who has gone quiet, without losing existing rankings.
Ongoing technical supportA site that works, but needs someone to own updates, security, and small fixes.
How the work runs
1
Technical brief
Before any code is written, a documented specification covers pages, functionality, integrations, hosting, and a realistic build timeline.
2
Staging build
Development takes place on a private staging link, so the live site remains untouched until launch.
3
Cross-device testing
Every build is checked across current browsers and both desktop and mobile before it goes near launch.
4
Handover
Documentation for whoever maintains the site day to day, plus a defined support window after launch.
