Bespoke WordPress Development Near Bath & Bristol
I provide down-to-earth WordPress development and web design services for businesses and creative agencies throughout Bath, Bristol, and the surrounding South West. From engineering custom, lightweight block themes from scratch to fixing layout or plugin bugs on your existing setup, I build fast, secure sites that perform perfectly for local users and search engines alike.

Straightforward web development from a local specialist
Finding a web developer shouldn’t feel like a gamble!!
You don’t need a distant agency with bloated overheads, nor do you need a developer who vanishes mid-build or leaves you with an overly complicated system you can’t manage. You need practical, dependable engineering from someone nearby who communicates clearly, sets realistic timelines, and builds things properly the first time.
That is exactly how I work. Based just outside Bath, I partner directly with local independent businesses, growing brands, and regional creative teams to turn designs into high-performance websites. Because I collaborate closely with talented local professionals including freelance designer Jon Bolton, we can take your project from a blank page or a rough sketch all the way to a fully realized, live website without any friction.
Whether you need a bespoke, lightning-fast WordPress build, a complex WooCommerce shop setup, or someone to step in and fix bugs on an existing page builder layout, I focus on making your website secure, scalable, and genuinely easy for you to manage after launch.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about my development process, timelines, and how I work with local clients.
