I work with small businesses and independent operators who want a website that looks polished and considered, and actually does its job. I handle the whole process: the design, the writing, the launch, the maintenance, and everything in between.
Before this I spent years in customer-facing work across tourism and adventure businesses, often running the whole operation: the bookings, the social media, the accounts, the lot. I also had my own media production company doing film shoots and video editing. The website was always part of the job, and it turned out to be the part I enjoyed most, so I started building them properly. First for myself and friends, then for other businesses.
Now it's what I do.
I like working out what's actually needed, then building something that not only looks good, but works properly and feels right for the business behind it.
I specialise in marketing and brand sites for small and mid-size businesses. Clean, fast, mobile-first HTML. Designed to look considered and to convert. Not WordPress, no templates or page builders. Sites that are 100% yours, and that you can hand to another developer if you ever need to.
I work with clients in Dubai, New Zealand, and anywhere in between. Most either have a visual sense of what they want, or they need help figuring that out. If you've got something in mind, or no idea where to start, either works. Tell me about it.
The process
Clear scope, fixed price, defined timeline. Here's what working together looks like.
Intake
A short conversation to understand the business, the audience, and what the site needs to do.
Proposal
A clear scope, a fixed price, and a timeline. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before we start.
Build
Staged reviews along the way, so you see the work as it comes together and have a defined window to request changes at each step.
Launch
I handle deployment and a full QA pass, then hand over a site that's ready to go. Post-launch support included for anything that comes up.
