Q&As

A great website combines aesthetic appeal with functional efficiency. It features responsive design that works seamlessly across all devices, intuitive navigation that guides visitors naturally, and fast loading times to prevent user frustration. Content should be clear, concise and relevant to your audience's needs. Strong visual hierarchy draws attention to key elements, whilst accessibility ensures everyone can use your site. Most importantly, a great website converts visitors into customers by clearly communicating your value proposition and including appropriate calls-to-action. Finally, it should be built on clean, maintainable code with SEO fundamentals in place to ensure visibility in search results.

Before beginning any web project, I would ask: What are your specific business goals for this website? Who is your target audience and what problems are you solving for them? Do you have existing brand guidelines (colours, fonts, imagery style)? What functionality do you require (contact forms, e-commerce, booking systems)? Who will manage content updates after launch? What websites do you admire and why? What's your timeline and budget? Do you have hosting arrangements in place? Understanding these fundamentals helps me create a solution that perfectly aligns with your business objectives rather than just delivering an attractive but ineffective website.

I'm passionate about solving problems through clean, elegant code. What I love most is transforming a client's vision into a functional digital reality that genuinely helps their business grow. The perfect blend of logic and creativity in development is immensely satisfying—finding efficient solutions whilst creating beautiful interfaces. I particularly enjoy the continuous learning required to stay current with evolving technologies and best practices. Most rewarding, however, is hearing from clients when their new website or app has made a tangible difference to their business success. That moment when technical craftsmanship translates into real-world impact is what drives me.

Clients should choose me for truly personalised service from an experienced developer who handles every aspect of their project personally. Unlike larger agencies, you'll work directly with me throughout the entire process—no account managers or handovers between team members. I bring dual expertise in both web and iOS development, ensuring cohesive digital experiences across platforms. My approach focuses on understanding your business objectives first, then creating bespoke solutions that deliver measurable results. I pride myself on clear communication, honest timelines, and transparent pricing without surprise fees. Most importantly, I'm passionate about crafting high-quality, maintainable code that provides lasting value, not quick fixes. I succeed when your digital presence helps your business thrive.
