Book a quick call See how it works

I'm Gareth. I work directly with businesses to keep their websites clear, reliable, and properly looked after over the long term.

If your website feels harder than it should:

You wait days for simple changes
Small requests turn into unexpected invoices
You are not sure who actually manages the site
Things break and nobody really owns the problem
You just want it handled properly

That is usually when people get in touch.

A simpler way to manage your website

Direct access

You speak to me directly, so nothing gets lost between sales, support, and development.

Built for the long term

The work is done to last, so your site stays fast, secure, and manageable.

Clear and calm support

If something needs changed or fixed, you get a straight answer and a sensible next step.

How I help

Retainer website care

Monthly care for businesses that want their website looked after properly, not only when something has already gone wrong.

Hosting & Maintenance

Updates, backups, monitoring, and security kept on top of so your site keeps doing its job.

Direct ongoing support

When you need something changed, checked, or fixed, you can come straight to me.

One-off website support

Need help with an existing website?

Not every website needs a monthly plan. If you need help with updates, troubleshooting, content changes, WordPress issues, WooCommerce support, or something that has simply stopped working, I can usually help on a one-off basis too.

Larger changes and projects can be quoted at a fixed price before any work begins.

Custom website builds

Need a new website built properly from the start?

If you need a new site, I can build it properly from the start, whether that means WordPress, Shopify, or replacing something that has become awkward to live with.

It is not enough for a site to look good on launch day. It needs to load quickly, make sense to the people using it, and stay easy to manage months and years later.

Talk about a new build

What is included

A clear plan before design and build start
Custom design and development, not a template dressed up as something else
Performance, accessibility, and mobile usability considered from the start
A proper handover so the site is still manageable after launch

For new projects

A fresh website for a new business, a new offer, or a business that has outgrown what it has now.

For rebuilds

A cleaner replacement when an existing site has become slow, messy, or too awkward to keep up to date.

Website training

Learn how to use the WordPress website you already have

This is for businesses that already have a WordPress site but still have to stop and second-guess every change.

We will work through your own website together, so you come away knowing how to update content, manage pages, handle images, and deal with the jobs you actually need to do.

That is far more useful than piecing things together from generic tutorials. You can ask real questions, get clear answers, and learn on the setup you are actually using.

Ask about training

No-charge fit check first

Before anything is booked, I will take a look at the site and ask what you want to learn. If it is the sort of WordPress build I can train you on properly, I will recommend the right session.

If the site is too messy, too locked down, or likely to waste your time, I will say that upfront. The fit check is there to make sure the training will actually help.

Half-day training

A focused session for content updates, pages, posts, media, menus, forms, and the day-to-day jobs you want to stop guessing at.

Full-day training

A deeper session for teams, repeatable workflows, messier setups, and time to practise properly as we go.

Experience matters

With more than 20 years in web development, I know the technical side of websites and the day-to-day reality of running a business.

I am not interested in launching something and disappearing. The work needs to keep doing its job long after it goes live.

Best suited for businesses like:

Small businesses and local organisations that rely on their website but do not have an in-house web person
Practices, charities, and community organisations that need the site kept clear, current, and dependable
Shops and WooCommerce businesses that need someone sensible to handle updates, fixes, and ongoing support
Owners and managers who want one experienced person to speak to when something needs done

Your website should just work. Let's make sure it does.

If your site needs support, a rebuild, or a proper fix, get in touch and I will help you sort the next step.
