Web Development

Clean, standards-compliant code that stands the test of time.

Built for performance, maintainability, and long-term reliability — not just to ship fast.

The way a website is built has a direct impact on how it performs — in Google rankings, in load speed, and in how easy it is to maintain and extend over time. I've seen too many Tasmanian businesses inherit websites built on brittle code or bloated page builders that are slow, hard to update, and a nightmare to hand to another developer if needed.

My development work uses modern, standards-compliant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with CMS integrations built on Statamic, WordPress, Craft, Wagtail, or whichever platform best fits the project. Every site is optimised for Core Web Vitals from the ground up — not as an afterthought. The result is clean, readable code that loads fast, scores well on Lighthouse, and is straightforward for any competent developer to work with in the future.

Custom development beyond brochure sites

Beyond standard business websites, I build custom web applications, API integrations, and complex interactive features for Tasmanian businesses with specific functional requirements. If you've been told "that's not possible with a standard CMS" and you're not sure whether to believe it, get in touch — I'm happy to assess what's actually involved.

For businesses that want a fast, reliable website without custom development overhead, my website design packages include everything needed to get a professional site live on a fixed budget.

Development FAQ

Common questions,
straight answers.

Don't see what you're looking for? Send me a message and I'll get back to you personally — usually within a few hours.

Do you work with existing codebases, or only new builds?

Both. I can take over any existing codebase — WordPress, custom PHP, or a framework project. I will review the code and give you an honest assessment of what is involved before quoting anything.

Can you build custom features not possible in a standard CMS?

Yes. Bespoke APIs, complex data relationships, custom integrations with third-party platforms — I build what is needed in clean, documented PHP or JavaScript. If you have been told something is not possible, it is worth a second opinion.

What CMS do you recommend?

It depends on your needs and budget. Statamic, WordPress, Craft, and Wagtail all have different strengths �� I will recommend the best CMS for your situation after understanding your requirements, not push a personal favourite.

How long does a development project take?

A standard CMS-powered site typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Complex applications with custom functionality take 8 to 16 weeks depending on scope. I give realistic timelines after understanding your requirements — not optimistic estimates that drift throughout the project.

How do you handle hosting and deployment?

I configure deployment pipelines for zero-downtime releases and recommend managed or VPS hosting over shared plans for any production site. I can manage hosting end-to-end, or hand it off with full documentation if you prefer to control it yourself.

Do you provide training on how to use my site?

Yes. Every custom build includes a YouTube walkthrough showing you how to edit your site content, manage pages, and handle day-to-day updates — so you are confident from day one without needing to ask me every time.
