Thoughtful websites,

I’m Dan, a London-based web developer. I design and build clear, responsive websites for businesses, organisations and independent teams — from the first idea through to launch.

// services

Web design and development, handled directly.

I help businesses turn new ideas, established brands and outdated websites into clear, useful digital experiences. That can include site structure, visual design, front-end development, content shaping and technical setup.

Every project is scoped around what the website needs to achieve. You work directly with me throughout, with clear communication and a practical handover at the end.

// working together

From initial brief to a finished website

step 01

Define the project

We establish what the website needs to do, who it is for, what content already exists and what a successful result looks like.

step 02

Design and build

I develop the structure and visual direction, then build a responsive website around the agreed content. Regular reviews keep decisions clear.

step 03

Test and launch

We review the finished site across screen sizes, make final refinements and connect the domain. You receive a clean handover once it is live.

// specification

Built with the fundamentals covered

performance
Fast, lightweight pages designed to work well across modern browsers and everyday connections.
responsive
Layouts are built for phones, tablets and desktops, with content that remains clear at every size.
accessibility
Semantic structure, keyboard support and readable contrast are considered from the start, not added as an afterthought.
search
Solid technical SEO foundations, including meaningful page structure, metadata and crawlable content.
ownership
Your domain, content and website remain yours, with a straightforward handover when the project launches.
collaboration
You work directly with the developer doing the work, so questions, feedback and decisions stay clear.
