Web development that’s scalable and stress-free

Whether you need a skilled developer to support your internal team or a full website built from the ground up, I create high-quality, accessible websites that are made to last.

Front-end development

Pixel-perfect, responsive, and accessible. I turn designs into performant websites that look great on every device and behave exactly as expected — with clean, semantic code.

My go-to front-end stack:

  • HTML
  • SCSS, compiled with Gulp
  • Vanilla JavaScript
  • ITCSS / BEM methodologies for scalable, maintainable CSS

This is the foundation I use to build fast, accessible, and future-friendly websites

Other technologies

Whilst I have my preferred stack, I’m also experienced in working with a range of other tools and frameworks – especially when collaborating with agencies or working on existing projects.

  • Tailwind
  • Bootstrap
  • jQuery
  • Webpack
  • Timber / Twig (for WordPress)

I adapt to your project’s needs, but always code with performance, clarity, and maintainability in mind.

Back-end Development

When needed, I collaborate with a trusted network of freelance specialists to deliver: Custom functionality and e-commerce, Database integration, Third-party API integrations, Advanced features for complex builds.

Together, we’ve worked with technologies such as:

  • PHP
  • Python / Django
  • JavaScript
  • React
  • REST APIs

WordPress development

With almost two decades of experience with WordPress, I build custom themes and plugins that are easy to manage and built to scale. Whether you’re starting your WordPress journey or need help improving an existing site, I’ve got you covered.

  • Gutenberg & ACF
  • ACF Flexible Content
  • WooCommerce
  • Custom themes
  • Custom plugins

HTML Emails

Any developer knows HTML emails are an entire ball game in itself! I have years of experience in building responsive HTML emails, and have gotten to know the quirks and hacks that are needed to get your beautifully designed emails looking great in as many email clients as possible. Emails are thoroughly tested in programmes such as Litmus or Email on Acid.

Audits & consultation

Not sure where to start? I offer code audits, performance and accessibility reviews, and technical consultancy to help you improve or scale your existing site.

QA & Project Management

I manage all projects using ClickUp to keep things transparent, on-track, and easy to follow. Tools like yBug make feedback simple by letting you comment directly on the site.

Work is built and tested locally first, then deployed to a staging environment – yours or mine – so you can review everything before launch.

Documentation & handover

I don’t disappear after the build. You’ll get personalised tutorials, developer-friendly documentation, clean code, and all the tools your team needs to keep things running smoothly. I’m well versed in using Git-based version control so your code stays safe and traceable.

My approach

Clean code, clear communication

I write maintainable, scalable code that’s a joy to work with – whether you’re managing the site yourself or passing it to another dev. You’ll always know what’s happening and why with documentation and commented code.

Collaborative and flexible

Need me to jump into an existing codebase? Happy to. Building from scratch? I’ll guide the technical side from day one. I’m used to adapting to different workflows and working closely with designers, marketers, and content teams.

Built for the long haul

I don’t do quick fixes or bloated builds. Everything I develop is built with future updates in mind – so you’re not left with a website that’s hard to maintain six months down the line.

Accessibility and performance first

Good development isn’t just about writing code – it’s about building sites that are inclusive, fast, and easy to use.

That’s my standard, not a bonus.

“Accessibility isn’t an optional extra – it’s baked in from the beginning.”

“Jo and I have worked together since early 2024 on two new WordPress websites that were fairly complex and required things like custom pricing pages, search functionality, embedding of product tours and new branding. No request was too big or too small for Jo, she was always helpful in finding us the best solution and she was all around Ahhh-mazing!”
