Independent design & development
Websites, tools and ideas brought to life
I design and build considered websites, web applications and online tools for people and small businesses. You don’t need a technical brief. Just an idea of what you’d like to do.
01 /How I can help
Your project.
Your way.
A new idea, something to learn or a project that needs a little help. There’s a way forward.
01Built for you
Design · Development · Launch
Your idea, taken care of.
From a portfolio or small-business website to a bespoke web application or interactive tool. I take care of the design, development, setup and launch, with you involved where it matters.

One-to-one · Hands-on · At your pace
Make something. Make it yours.
Build your own web project with friendly, one-to-one guidance. We’ll work on your actual idea, at your pace. You’ll leave with something live, an understanding of how it works and the confidence to keep making it better. No technical background needed.

Review · Refine · Get it live
Let’s get it over the line.
Stuck, half-finished or not quite how you imagined it? Bring what you have. I’ll help work out what’s wrong, improve the design or functionality and get your project properly finished and online.
Learn more about Fix or finish it → 02 /It starts with an idea
An idea.
A conversation.
Something real.
You don’t need all
the answers yet.
A ‘what if’ is a perfectly good place to start.
Maybe it’s a tool that makes your day easier. A small application for your community. An interactive product, a personal project or something that doesn’t fit neatly into a category.
You don’t need to know which framework to use, whether it’s a website or a web app, or how it will all work. Tell me about the problem, the people it’s for and what you’d like it to do. We’ll work out the right thing to build together.
Let’s talk about your idea03 /From here to live
A clear path.
Room to figure it out.
Every project is a little different. This is the general shape of things, with as much conversation as we need along the way.
- 01
Talk
You tell me about the idea, the problem or the goal. I listen, ask questions and help make sense of it.
- 02
Shape
We work out what’s worth building, how it should work and what’s involved. A clear scope, agreed together.
- 03
Build
I design and develop it, or we build it side by side. You see it take shape and have a say along the way.
- 04
Launch
We get it online properly. You know how it works, what you own and where to go from here.
04 /The person behind the work
Hello, I'm Dan.
You'll work directly with me, from the first conversation to the final detail.
More about me →I like taking ideas and turning them into things people can actually use. Sometimes that's a straightforward website. Sometimes it's something a little harder to define.
Based in Cambridge, working with people, small businesses and good ideas wherever they're based.
Built for you. Owned by you.
Your site. Your accounts. Your code.
The project should be yours in practice, too. Where appropriate, your domain, code repository, hosting and other services are set up in accounts you own. I’ll help you understand what’s where and what happens next.
I can stay involved for as long as you’d like. The choice stays yours.
