I am a freelance expert using WordPress, the most popular content management systems (or CMS) in use today. WordPress powers 35% of all websites worldwide, and can be used for almost anything.
Alongside my WordPress expertise, I am experienced in general front-end and back-end technologies – for more technical details, see below. For non-technical readers, I am a skilled all-rounder, and can deal with all sorts of problems or develop new features for any purpose.

Personal info
I have had a vested interest in technology for my whole life, and most people would describe me as a geek! I’ve worked in web development for a long time now, and even outside of my work, I can often be found working on projects for myself, friends, or family.
I live in the Bedfordshire area with my wife, Dilly, a freelance Digital Marketer, who also helps to run a large equestrian business providing 5* livery and show stabling. When I’m not working, I enjoy relaxing with video games, books, Metal Earth models (look them up, they’re great!), or walking our 3 dogs.
