COLLECTION / COMMUNITY

Made for People

Some of my favourite projects start with somebody saying:

"I wish this worked differently."

Not a specification. Not a budget. Just a person who has been quietly annoyed by something for long enough to mention it out loud.

These are the projects built for somebody else — an independent business, a club, a committee, a group of volunteers. They have a different weight to the ones I build for myself, because somebody is relying on them on a Saturday morning.

CLUBS & COMMUNITIES

Run by volunteers, held together by group chats, and deserving of better tools than they usually get.

What began as a better club website became a digital platform for running an entire netball club.

SMALL BUSINESSES

Independent businesses with far more personality in real life than their websites ever showed.

What I've Learned Building for Other People

The brief is never the problem

"We need a new website" almost always turns out to mean something else — usually that a specific thing is taking somebody two hours a week and quietly driving them mad.

Volunteers have no spare time

Anything that needs a weekly admin session will be abandoned by March. If it isn't easier than the thing it replaced, it has failed.

Don't replace what works

If the booking system is fine, leave the booking system alone. Replace the bit that makes them look like everybody else.

Hand it back properly

They should be able to change their own opening hours, prices and photographs without ringing me. Anything else is a dependency dressed up as a service.

Got something interesting?

I build things because I enjoy figuring out how they should work.

Recently that's included websites and digital tools for small businesses, sports clubs and people who wanted something that felt a little more like them and a little less like a template.

If you've got an idea, a slightly awkward problem or a website that's doing absolutely nothing for you, say hello.

Worst case, we have a chat. Best case, we make something useful.
