Focused website development

Website fixes and improvements, without turning them into a major project.

I take on focused React, Next.js and WordPress work that requires experienced implementation without the overhead of a large project team.

Tell me about the project

Send me the site, describe the current behaviour and explain the required outcome. I'll reply within one working day.

Defined projects, carefully planned

A useful guide.
Not a rigid package.

Ten to twenty hours gives you an idea of the work I'm most interested in. The actual estimate depends on the site, the risks and what needs to change.

Usually a contained project

Resolve a defined problem

Works well for: One self-contained problem with clear acceptance criteria.

  • Repair a broken form, WooCommerce checkout or booking journey
  • Address a mobile, browser or accessibility issue
  • Speed up one slow page or template
  • Diagnose a WordPress or React defect

Often more involved

Build or integrate a feature

Works well for: One feature or improvement that touches a few connected parts of the site.

  • Add a Stripe payment or subscription flow
  • Connect a form, shop, CRM or learning platform
  • Build a new React interface or WordPress block
  • Improve an account, search or content workflow

Payments and business systems

Connect the systems
you already use.

The website may be working correctly while the data flow behind it is unreliable or incomplete. I can add or repair a contained integration without rebuilding the wider platform.

More about integration work

WooCommerce stores

Cart and checkout fixes, plus product, order and customer connections to the systems behind the store.

Stripe payments

One-off payments, subscriptions, hosted or embedded checkout, and the webhooks that trigger what happens next.

CRM integrations

Pass enquiries, customer details or order updates to the CRM your team already uses, removing unnecessary manual data entry.

LMS integrations

Connect purchases, enrolments and account access when your learning platform provides a suitable API, webhook or LTI connection.

Before I estimate the work, I check the platform documentation, permissions, existing plugins and whether there is a safe way to test the whole journey.

What you get

A clear implementation and handover.

The technical details vary by project, but the delivery process remains clear and consistent.

01

Scope and acceptance criteria

I document what will change, what remains outside scope and anything I need from you.

02

Access and release planning

I review access, backups, version control, staging and how we would roll back if needed.

03

Direct technical delivery

I handle the implementation, testing and technical communication directly.

04

Review before release

Where the setup allows, you can review the change before I help release it.

05

Technical handover

You receive a concise summary of what changed, where it lives and any recommended follow-up work.

06

Controlled scope changes

If the requirements change or I find a hidden dependency, I explain the impact before continuing.

A useful project brief

A defined outcome with the required access.

  • The site already exists and its owner can provide access
  • One issue or improvement is the clear priority
  • There is someone who can answer questions and review the work
  • We can agree clear acceptance criteria

Probably needs wider scoping

An open-ended list without a clear priority.

  • A complete new website, rebrand or complex product build
  • No access to the code, hosting or current supplier
  • Several stakeholders with no agreed priority
  • An emergency or open-ended support requirement

Common questions

Before development starts.

You should understand the scope, delivery process and how changes will be handled.

Is 10–20 hours a fixed package?

No. It is a useful guide to the size of project I usually take on, not a hard limit. A simple fix may take less; an integration with more dependencies may take longer. I'll review the requirement and propose an appropriate scope.

What if the cause of the problem is not clear yet?

The initial scope may focus on diagnosis and a recommended implementation plan. I will not propose a fix until I have enough evidence to support it.

Do you only work with WordPress?

No. I work with JavaScript, React, Next.js and WordPress, together with the APIs and services around them. I'll review the technology stack before agreeing the work.

Can you work with the CRM or learning platform we already use?

Often, yes. I first check what the platform supports, what access is available and how the integration can be tested. It may be a configuration change or require custom development; I will establish that before we start.

Can you work alongside our agency or in-house developer?

Yes. I can work independently or use your existing repository, code review and release process. We'll agree who is doing what before I start.

Do I need to be in Oxfordshire?

No. I'm based in Banbury, Oxfordshire and work remotely with businesses across the UK.

Start with the problem

What needs to be improved?

Send me the site, the current behaviour and the outcome you need. I'll review the requirement and suggest a practical next step.
