— Phil Storey, WordPress Founder
Trusted by teams building serious products
A clear three-step process so you always know what happens next.
20-min call
We clarify goals, scope, timeline, and budget. You get a written proposal — no obligation.
Weekly demos
Staging builds, clear milestones, and direct access to me. No black-box development.
Launch + beyond
Deployment, handover docs, and optional maintenance retainers so you're never stranded.
Every project starts with a real problem. Here's how I help founders, agencies, and small businesses move forward.
"Your current site is slow, outdated, or impossible to update"
I build on modern CMS platforms so you control your content, and pages load in under a second. No more waiting on a developer for every text change.
Built with this approach: Chill Stays, Casefile
"You have a product idea but no technical co-founder"
I take your concept from wireframe to working product — architecture, development, deployment, and ongoing support. You stay focused on the business.
Built with this approach: Pigeonhole, Chill Stays, Casefile
"Your agency needs reliable dev capacity without hiring"
I work as an embedded developer on your client projects — same standards, your brand, no recruitment headaches. Retainer or project-based.
Built with this approach: Avidity RevOPS, Velora Health
"Your hosting, domains, and security are a mess"
I manage the full stack of infrastructure — hosting, DNS, SSL, backups, monitoring — so you never think about it. One point of contact for everything.
Currently managing 50+ domains and hosting accounts
Real feedback from people I've worked with.
Responsive — polite and a good crack!
"Not only is Rich an extremely experienced and knowledgable digital expert, he's also a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend his company to anyone looking to grow their brand."
Phil Storey
WordPress Founder · Astro Agency
"Richard moved quickly to make himself available and was able to find a solution and implement it quickly. He worked well, kept me updated and completed the assignment on time. I will be utilising him again next time I need a freelancer."
Alex Murrell
Founder · Veritrec
"Rich took a complex multi-channel hospitality platform from concept to production — booking, ops, and an AI assistant that actually understands the business. Rare to find someone who ships at this pace without cutting corners."
