I’m Dan, a freelance web designer and developer with over 10 years experience. I work with start-ups, SME’s and large businesses providing them with creative digital solutions. From simple WordPress builds, to custom CRM’s and ecommerce platforms I work from the planning stage through to completion and beyond.
I am an experienced developer with a passion for coding and design. With over a decade of industry experience, I’m just as inspired to learn and deliver my best work as when I began. I have worked agency-side and on a freelance basis for high-end clients, and on a broad range of projects.
Deep down, I am a self confessed geek. I love learning about new technologies and becoming absorbed by projects. I manage deadlines and my workload independently, or I can slot into an existing team according to requirements. I am not a hands off type of freelancer, and will be directly involved to provide genuine insight and effective solutions.
I started as a PHP developer in a digital agency, before moving into senior roles and eventually going freelance. Agency work has its advantages for sure, but it does not necessarily provide the same flexibility and accountability on a personal level. Agencies can be a little bit like assembly lines, where work comes in and out with little customisation or the same degree of care. I manage projects reliably, and work hard to understand my clients’ businesses and what they are trying to achieve. This ultimately saves on cost and gives the best results.
I have strong agency connections from my time working with other teams, and have gained a lot from the experience. However, being freelance has really tested my skills, and encouraged me to adapt and grow. I love building anything from Wordpress websites to custom web apps. I regularly have the opportunity to immerse myself in diverse projects, bringing them to fruition with genuine skill and enthusiasm.
Your website needs to reflect your business – and should not only look great, but function in a way that won’t frustrate potential future clients or customers. Your website should be engaging and user friendly.
I don’t use off the shelf templates, with every project I undertake being completely bespoke to your business needs. The design process is collaborative, and I will involve you along the way to ensure we’re always working to strengthen your brand online.
