Practical web & software development

I'm a full-stack developer and designer working as a small, independent business. I build clean, reliable websites and software for people who want things done properly — without unnecessary complexity or pushy sales tactics.

I work with small businesses, sole traders, and organisations, handling everything from simple websites through to custom applications, databases, and integrations.

If you need something practical, maintainable, and fit for purpose, you're in the right place.

I'm not locked into one approach — the goal is always the right solution, not the trendiest one.

I've built a lot of sites using platforms like WordPress over the years. These days, with modern tooling and AI-assisted workflows, I often prefer custom-built solutions — they're lighter, faster, and easier to control long-term.

That said, I'm still happy to work with:

• WordPress
• Other CMS platforms
• Existing systems that need improvement rather than replacement

The approach depends entirely on what you actually need.

I'm based in Te Anau, servicing Southland and the wider New Zealand market. Remote work is no problem — most projects are handled that way anyway.

No agencies. No layers of account managers. Just clear communication and sensible decisions.

I keep pricing straightforward and transparent.

You'll always get a clear idea of cost before anything starts.

Technology should make life easier — not riskier.

I'm building a small resource section focused on:

• Online safety basics
• Common NZ scams
• Practical security advice for small businesses

It's free, plain-English, and aimed at prevention rather than fear.

If you've got a project in mind — or you're not quite sure what you need yet — feel free to get in touch.

I'm happy to talk things through before you commit to anything.
