What I offer
I help agencies deliver, and businesses build. Whether you're an agency looking to outsource front-end and UI work, or a business after a website that looks great and performs, I bring the technical skill and design eye to make it happen. Below is how I can help.
Accessibility
Built to WCAG standards, I ensure every site works for all users, including those relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation.
Responsive Design
Every build is fully responsive, looking and performing flawlessly across desktops, tablets and mobiles.
Performance
Fast-loading, optimised front-ends that keep users engaged and help with search rankings.
Clean Code
Well-structured, maintainable code that follows best practice, so it's easy to build on and hand over.
SEO-Friendly
Sites built with search engines in mind, using semantic, well-structured markup to help you rank.
Modern Stack
Built with current tools like React and Next.js, giving you fast, scalable, future-proof front-ends.
Outsourcing
When your team is at capacity or a project needs specialist front-end and UI skills, I'm the extra pair of hands you can bring in. Hand me a brief and I'll get on with it - keeping you updated, but without needing to be managed - and deliver work that's ready to go. Or, if you'd rather I work more closely alongside your designers, developers and project managers, I'll slot into your process however suits you. Either way, I work as an extension of your team, delivering to your standards and under your brand, so your clients only ever see your work.
Extra Capacity
From UI design in Figma to production front-end in React and Next.js, I can cover the whole front-end, or just the part you need filling.
Flexible Involvement
Hand me a self-contained brief to run with independently, or have me work closely alongside your team - whatever suits the project and how you like to work.
Easy Onboarding
Years inside agency teams means I get up to speed fast and slot into your workflow, with none of the ramp-up a new hire needs.
Cost-Effective
Meet client demand and hit deadlines without carrying the cost of a permanent hire between projects.
Bespoke Websites
As well as agency work, I partner directly with businesses who need a new website, or a fresh take on an existing one. Maybe your current site is looking dated, isn't performing, or no longer reflects where your business is now. I'll take the time to understand your goals and build you a fast, modern, easy-to-manage website that looks the part and works hard for your business.
Free Website Review
Not sure where your current site falls short? I'll take a look and give you honest, practical feedback on how it could be improved.
Personal Service
You deal with me directly from start to finish - no account managers, no being passed around, just clear communication throughout.
Handled End to End
From first idea to launch, I take care of the design, the build and everything in between, so you don't have to worry about the technical side.
Ongoing Support
I'm here after launch too, keeping your site updated, secure and running smoothly as your business grows.
"Neil worked with us for a couple of years, which passed far too quickly. He is one of a small breed of contractors that can be helicoptered into any project and he will get the job done. He's worked on many projects including technologies such as REACT, NextJs, Velocity and obviously LESS and SASS. I wish he could have worked for us directly, then he would not have had to leave."
Robert Nash
Managing Director | 4Roads
"Neil worked with us on two large projects and left nothing to be desired with regards to the code that he produced. On one project he was able to create complex interactive widgets from flat PSD designs and bring the site to life with very little direct management required. I found him to be very personable and professional during his time in the team."
David Maidment
Lead Developer | Team ITG
"Neil delivered an impeccable service. His commitment and support throughout our relationship has been second to none. Our site has been continually updated to meet our customer demands and to ensure we deliver the ultimate spa experience, which in return has allowed us to gain further business through our site."

Director | The Spa
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. I work across the whole front-end - UI and UX design in Figma, through to building it in React, Next.js and modern front-end tooling. That means you can hand over a project knowing both the design and the build are covered by one person.
I follow industry best practice - clean, maintainable, well-tested code, version control with Git, and thorough cross-device and cross-browser checking - so what I deliver is robust and ready to build on.
My core stack is React, Next.js and TypeScript, with UI design in Figma. I also work with CMS platforms like WordPress and Umbraco, and I'm happy to work within an existing setup, design system or codebase.
Absolutely. I work as a white-label extension of your team - everything is delivered under your brand, to your brief, and your client never needs to know you brought in outside help.
As much or as little as you like. Hand me a self-contained brief and I'll run with it independently, keeping you updated but not needing to be managed - or I'll work closely alongside your team if you'd prefer. Whatever suits how you work.
Often, yes. I'll review your current site and give honest feedback - sometimes a refresh is all it needs, sometimes a rebuild makes more sense. Either way I'll recommend what's genuinely best for your business, not just the biggest job.
For many projects I can build in a content management system, so you're able to update text, images and content yourself. Whether that's the right fit depends on your needs and budget - it's something we'd talk through, so you get a site that works the way you want to manage it.
