in Essex.
Based in Romford on the Essex border, I build online stores, websites and AI tools for businesses across the county — from Brentwood and Chelmsford to Basildon, Southend and Colchester — with the commercial experience of running a live retailer.

Local when it helps.
Remote when it is faster.
Most of the businesses I work with in Essex are owner-run: a shop with a growing online side, a trade supplier moving its catalogue online, a garage or service business that needs bookings to arrive without a phone call. They need a developer who thinks about the sale, not just the screen.
The county is an easy drive from Romford, so site visits and in-person kick-offs are normal for Essex projects. Design reviews, staging previews and launch happen remotely, which keeps the pace up between visits.

Questions from Essex businesses
Before we begin.
01Which parts of Essex do you cover?
All of it, in practice. Romford is a short drive from Brentwood, Chelmsford, Basildon and Grays, and a reasonable one from Southend, Colchester and Braintree. The work itself is mostly remote, so the distance only matters for the meetings you want in person.
02Is a Shopify store or a WooCommerce site better for an Essex retailer?
It depends on the catalogue and the team. Shopify suits a retailer that wants a reliable checkout, apps and minimal maintenance; WooCommerce suits a business already on WordPress with content-led marketing. I work with both and will tell you which fits before you commit to either.
03Do you help with search visibility for local businesses?
Yes. Technical SEO — site structure, speed, structured data and local signals — is part of every build, and it is available as a standalone audit for an existing site. The aim is to be found for the searches your customers actually make in your part of Essex.
