Service Like You Used to Know It

Architects & Developers

Proper portfolio systems with mature relationships and categorisation mechanics to present your growing body of projects in its best light. Your work is technical, like mine - and like mine it's also judged by appearance. Stop selling it short.

Photographers & Artists

Visual-heavy and expressive, sometimes in precision - other times in wild rebellion, a canvas for your individuality and a frame for your work. Designed and developed by someone who gets it.

Law & Finance

Professional and serious without sternness or solemnity - a service brochure designed to catch inquiries and convey pedigree and presitge, identifying you as the professional with the best service and the right expertise.

Trades & Local Services

Average deployment time: 48 hours. A simple, professional site with galleries, a service page, and contact details - designed intentionally around how visitors actually use trade sites, to help get you inquiries.

Coaches & Trainers

Ditch Bookwhen and Mindbody, and stop renting your website off Squarespace. Get a website you actually own that sells appointments for you, and integrates with your calendar. Fixed running costs at £55/month which doesn't go up just because you earn more. No commissions taken on your earnings. Ever.

Writers & Journalists

Grow an audience or mailing list with publication of your own, designed without distractions or bloat to offer a reading experience like that of a book. Supports footnotes, linking, images, and video - and expressly lets your writing breathe. Somewhere not just to write, but to publish, too.

Need Something Else?

I've done plenty of bespoke work before and would be happy to talk with you about your needs and vision, and see if I can help to build it for you! Just reach out!

Got a one-off issue or something you're not sure if I do? Inquiries are always welcome!

I'm Passionate About Using Tech Well

Hello, I'm Jack.

I was always the go-to for tech problems in my family, and remain so to this day. I took an interest in computers from quite a young age and started developing my first website at college, in 2019. I didn’t know how deep or interesting that would become at the time, or how seriously I’d go on to take it. Here we are in 2026 and I’m still developing that skill!

Other things I’ve done over the years include but are not limited to fixing my Nan’s phone (every week), creating a law revision site (twice), running a personal blog, running an individual eBay page for ~2 years taking over £4,000 turnover (is vanity), and achieving a First-Class Honours in Law.

I’m a private and thoughtful person, deeply interested in digital privacy and resilience, and bring a uniquely long-term mindset to client projects. I enjoy helping people solve problems and would love the chance to be able to help you solve yours.

Me in the Servant's Corridoor at Lyme Park.
At Your Service.
Who Am I For?

Not For Everyone. For You.

I work with businesses and individuals that care about appearance - not as an exercise in vanity, but in discernment, judgement, expertise, finesse, craftsmanship, and quality. Whether a law firm with centuries of prestige, or an artist with an avant-garde style - I want to work with human-scale enterprise to help you flourish, in whatever way that looks like for you.

I hope you'll find in me what you need, because I'm really looking forward to working together.

Building A Reputation

For The Up-and-Coming

For the visionaries, founders, and dreamers in those envigorating but turbulent years, trying to create something out of nothing. For you, someone with as much enthusiasm as you, full of ideas and that hopeful curiosity about what comes next, built on a platform designed to be resilient and enduring.

Stewarding A Reputation

For The Already-Established

For the experts already tested in the fires of adversity, who now steward a brand that stands tall and proud, with a respectable reputation. For you, a partner that understands the careful balance between honouring the past and embracing the future - moving forward without losing your roots or your legacy.

My work in building and design is distinguished by a values-led focus on Ownership, Privacy, Quality, and Humanity.

Don't Compromise

Want privacy and ownership but don't know how? Perhaps you don't have the time or the technical know-how. You don't need to settle for a bad deal. I can help, and I want to. I'm not 'just another' web designer. I care.

I'm Here Wth You
