What I do
Umbraco work, end to end
Builds, migrations, performance, and the ongoing care that keeps a site healthy after launch.
Builds & integrations
New Umbraco sites and headless builds, wired up to the payment, CRM and search tools your business already runs on.
Version upgrades & migrations
Moving off end-of-life Umbraco 7 or 8 onto a modern, actively supported version, without a ground-up rebuild.
Performance & Core Web Vitals
Slow admin, slow front end, bloated Examine indexes. I find what's actually causing it, then fix that.
Support & hosting
Ongoing support contracts and managed Umbraco hosting, so the site stays patched, backed up, and watched.
Freelancer vs. agency
Why work with one developer instead of an agency
Agencies are the right call for some projects. For a lot of Umbraco work, though, you're better served by one senior person who knows the platform cold.
- You talk to the person doing the work, every time, not just at kickoff.
- One flat day rate. No hourly billing creep, no "account management" line item.
- 14 years focused specifically on Umbraco, not general web dev with Umbraco on the side.
- Umbraco Certified Master, one of a small number of developers worldwide to hold it.
To be upfront about the trade-off
I'm one person, not a team. If you need five developers on a deadline next week, I'm not the right fit. If you need someone who deeply knows Umbraco, does the work themselves, and documents it properly so you're never dependent on any one person (including me), that's what I'm set up for.
Working across the US, remotely
Based in the UK. Built around US working hours.
Every engagement is remote, which is how the day rate stays flat and your budget doesn't get eaten by travel. My working day is set up to overlap with US business hours, not just UK ones.

One flat rate. No hourly surprises.
Project work is billed at a simple day rate. Umbraco hosting and support contracts are quoted separately, based on what your site actually needs.
