Hi, I'm Matt

I've been building websites and the systems behind them for over ten years. Today that's booking platforms, WordPress and Shopify sites, and modern CMS builds, for businesses in the UK and around the French Alps, where I live.

There's no agency and no account manager to hand you off to. You email me, you talk to me, and I build it.

How I work

I work with businesses of every size, from local firms to global brands: sites their team can update without waiting on a developer, and booking and enquiry systems that replace spreadsheets, phone calls and off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit.

You talk to me
From the first email to years after launch. No account managers, no juniors.
Fixed quotes
You know the cost before I start, and it only changes if the plan does.
Built for your team
Sites your staff can update without calling me for every change.
Plain English
I'll explain the options and the trade-offs, without the jargon.
You own everything
The code, the domain and the hosting are in your name, and it's all documented.
Nothing rests on me alone
Trusted partners can step in if I'm away, so your site is never stuck waiting for me.
Built to last
Clean code and sound foundations, so the site stays easy to change for years.
Connected to your tools
Payments, email, accounting and the other tools you already use, tested on every release.

Who I work with

I'm a one-man band, but not a lone one. When a project needs it, I bring in a small group of trusted partners. We've worked together on projects over many years, so we know how to pull together towards the same goal.

You still deal with me throughout. I bring in the right people and stay responsible for the result.

Things I've built for myself

Aithlo
An AI coach for endurance athletes in cycling, running, swimming and triathlon. It learns your training history and goals, builds a structured plan and adjusts it when life gets in the way. A mobile app for iOS and Android, with its own website.

When I'm not at my desk I'm ski touring in winter, and hiking, riding or out on the golf course in summer. Living here is why I work remotely, and why I'm quick to reply.

Working together

Who owns the site when it's finished?

You do. The code, the domain and the hosting accounts are in your name, and everything is documented. If you ever want to move to another developer, you can, and I'll help with the handover.

What happens if you're ill or on holiday?

Your site doesn't depend on me being at my desk. It's documented and backed up, so it keeps running smoothly while I'm away, and I always let you know in advance when I'm off.

Do you look after sites after launch?

Yes. Care plans cover updates, backups, security and small changes, and are quoted to suit your site. Plenty of clients have stayed on one for years.
