I have been building websites for over 25 years.
My main focus is on projects for small and medium-sized businesses and NGOs.
I love getting involved with companies and organisations that are trying to solve problems and come up with great solutions and products.
Primarily I work as a web developer, but I also design when a project requires it – see a list of previous work. I often get involved early in a project and help clients navigate all aspects of getting their ideas launched and online.
I have worked with many content management systems over the years – Drupal, TYPO3 and Magento to name just a few – but almost all projects I build these days use WordPress as a platform, as it’s a very versatile system and easy-to-use for most clients.
Over the last two decades the web industry has seen a lot of changes. AI, content management systems, responsive design, standardisation. Google’s dominance, for better or worse, has had a major influence on many aspects of web development.
It is a fast-moving field and many of the projects and services built online today would have been hard to imagine 25 years ago.
Get in touch to discuss a new project – I am always excited to talk ideas!
Projects
While I love working with clients to develop great projects, sometimes you simply need to build something for yourself or in collaboration with other people. Currently I am involved with the following projects.
Tailorist
An exciting e-commerce project, selling made-to-measure dress shirts. The site is using Magento as a platform and has a custom built shirt designer, where customers can select their preferred fabric, fit, components and add their measurements.
I am a co-founder of Tailorist and it has been both a challenging and fun project.
First Cellars
Through Julian Kommunikation, I became a technical partner with this Shanghai-based wine startup.
As with Tailorist, this site uses Magento as a platform and has a number of custom functions. We have also been designing campaign banners and other visuals, as well as landing pages.
Photography
Before working with web development, I studied photography at university. A few years after finishing my degree, I changed fields and have been building websites full-time since 2005.
My personal photography website is slowly taking shape, over time I hope to showcase a number of different projects and ideas.
