What I do

Development work, from a new site to the awkward jobs.

New WordPress builds

Fast, custom sites built with Oxygen Builder rather than a bloated theme.

Forms and integrations

Data-capture forms, API connections and custom functionality that off-the-shelf plugins cannot do.

WooCommerce shops

Online stores that are quick, simple to manage and set up to sell.

Fixes and rescue jobs

Broken, slow or taken over from another developer. I audit first, then quote a fixed price.

Why hire a freelancer

You talk to the person doing the work.

01
No agency middle-men
Nothing is outsourced. The developer you message is the developer who builds it.
02
Priced before I start
Fixed-price quotes, scoped up front, with no open-ended hourly billing.
03
Support after launch
Care plans for updates, backups and security, with direct WhatsApp access.

Common questions

Quick answers.

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. I take on white-label Oxygen and WordPress development for agencies and designers who need an extra pair of hands.

Where are you based?

I am based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, and work remotely with clients across the UK.

How do you charge?

By fixed-price quote per project, agreed before work starts. Projects start from £850.

Can you take over a site another developer built?

Yes. I audit it first so we both know what state it is in, then quote what needs doing.

Need a developer you can rely on?

He was patient, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout, and I’m really pleased with the finished result.

I strongly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a website developer who listens, understands, and delivers.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Simon was fantastic when sorting out my website, locating the issue quickly and offering a solution. In this case, he transferred my site to a new theme with some slight amendments that was compatible with the latest wordpress and elementor updates. He was very quick, efficient and professional, and had no problem explaining what he needed to do in plain language to this novice website owner!  I would not hesitate to use Simon's services again as his wealth of knowledge and experience clearly showed in our interaction.  Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Contacted Simon after reading reviews of his work to resolve a few issues I had with an existing site which I couldn't solve. I found Simon to be professional, very knowledgeable and honest. He doesn't charge the earth and is always available if you have a problem. It makes a refreshing change to have a 1 to 1 service instead of repeating the issues to a different person every time. So impressed with his work ethic and stylish designs that I've commissioned a brand new site from him.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Simon migrated my site from Squarespace to Wordpress. From the get-go he was very friendly and eager. Throughout the process he was patient with me (I had a lot of edits) and even though the site build was very complex he was happy to do it. I'm extremely happy with the end result—my website has never looked so good! 🤩 I'm looking forward to working with Simon as my website host, as I know if I have any issues he will be able to sort it for me. Thank you Simon! 🌟 If you want to see another example of what Simon can do, check out www.cherrychumagazine.com 💜

The result is way better than the Real Athenians team envisaged.

Highly recommend Simon and we are extremely grateful to him.
