About Me

I'm Jack, a freelance web developer based in Brighton, UK. I've been building for the web for twenty years and work almost entirely with Statamic and Laravel. I work directly with businesses, and behind the scenes with agencies and studios.

Build

I build new Statamic sites with page builders and custom content types, and give the control panel the same care as the front end. Plenty go further than a brochure site, with shops, bookings, member areas and integrations for search, payments, video and newsletters.

Extend

I add new features, addons and integrations to sites that are already running, built to fit with what's there. That covers control panel features, imports and exports, APIs for other services to connect to, and changes for new processes and products.

Maintain

I help with sites for as long as they're running, from security fixes to new features as a business changes. Some clients have been with me for over a decade.

Move

I move sites onto Statamic from WordPress, other platforms and custom-built systems, and take older projects through major Statamic, Laravel and PHP upgrades. All the content comes across, and custom features from the old site are rebuilt on the new one.

Addons

I publish and maintain a number of Statamic addons. Several are built around Bard, like Bard Texstyle and Bard Mutator, along with Distill for querying deeply nested content and Raster for turning views into images. I've also made a few contributions to Statamic itself.

How I work

• You talk to the person doing the work, from the first email to launch and after.
• Every job is planned and quoted before any work starts.
• You see progress on a staging site and can give feedback before anything goes live.
• I'm as happy adding one feature as working on a system for years.
• With agencies I use your repos, tools and process, and work alongside your developers and designers.
• I work remotely with clients across the UK, Europe and the US.

If you have a Statamic project in mind, get in touch and we can talk it through.
