About me

I'm Oliver. I build websites, booking systems and business software for small businesses, from here in Kent.

I came at this from the business side first. At fourteen I built and ran an e-commerce company that took six figures in sales and grew an audience of more than forty thousand people. I learned how a small business actually makes and loses money before I learned how to write code for one, and it still shapes the first question I ask about any project: what is this meant to earn you, or save you? The design and the technology come after that answer, not before it.

I also study Computer Forensics and Security, which is why security is designed in from the start rather than bolted on at the end: proper password handling, sensible permissions, no third-party scripts quietly watching your customers, and backups that have actually been restored at least once.

Recent work includes a complete portfolio and client-gallery platform for a working wedding photographer, a Windows desktop tool she uses to prepare her deliveries, and a live multiplayer game network with its own store, Discord integration and custom server software. The eight demonstrations on this site are mine too, built so you can judge the standard by using it rather than reading about it.

Everything is built by hand. No site builders, no purchased templates, no heavy frameworks that need replacing in two years. That produces fast pages, dependable servers, and code the next developer can actually read.

You deal with me directly from the first message to launch. The person you talk to is the person writing the code, and when the job is done you own all of it: the code, the content, and the domain and hosting accounts, in your name.
