25+ years building the web

Websites, eCommerce, and web applications — delivered AI-first.

My Experience

From hand-coded websites in the late 90s to AI-first SaaS today, I've spent over 25 years building websites and software — as an engineer, a founder, and in CIO/CTO/COO/CMO roles across various industries. My specialism is eCommerce and web applications: systems that make money, take bookings, and run businesses.

The last two years has seen massive change; my engineering team is now AI — shipping in days what would have taken months. Often AI is also built into the products themselves: chat interfaces, automation, second-brain systems.

Capabilities

Simple but Bespoke Websites

Marketing and brochure websites done properly — fast, SEO and AEO optimised, and built to convert. Every site ships with self-editing built in: you update it yourself, by chatting with an AI.

  • • All the usual sections, plus a contact form straight to your inbox
  • • Self-editing via an AI chat interface — no CMS training, no tickets
  • • Hosting, performance, and SEO fundamentals handled

Sophisticated Web Applications

Standalone, web-based business systems and AI-first SaaS. From eCommerce to booking platforms, portals, and internal tools — software that runs the business, not just describes it.

  • • eCommerce and payments
  • • Booking and scheduling systems
  • • Customer portals, dashboards, and internal tools
  • • AI capabilities built in: chat, automation, second-brain systems

Bespoke Systems on CRM & ERP

Custom applications that sit on top of, and leverage, your CRM or ERP. Your data already lives somewhere — we build on it rather than duplicating it.

  • • Salesforce and ERPNext ecosystems
  • • Custom apps, integrations, and process automation
  • • AI layered over your existing business data
  • • Email Marketing Automation

the middle · where agencies go to die

We work in the extremes. Either a simple subscription website at £99 a month, or a serious bespoke build. Nothing in between — the middle is where agencies go to die, and where clients get mediocre work at premium prices.
