Tell me what you need

(the short version)

Local, without the agency markup.

Search for a web developer in Manchester and you mostly find agencies. Nice offices, account managers, and a quote you only see after a discovery call.

I'm a senior developer based here. You talk to the person writing the code, from first message to launch, and you know the price before we speak.

(why me)

What you get.

Big-brand work, small-business prices

(testimonials)

Ask the people who paid.

Matt's worked across our entire brand portfolio for over two years. Last-minute jobs, unrealistic deadlines, early starts, late finishes. The quality's never dropped once.

Chris Johnson — Footasylum

Matt's changes made a real difference across the site. No lengthy briefs, no drawn-out revisions. Just the right call, made quickly.

Ross Taylor — Footasylum

We had nothing — no site, no brand presence online. I was particular about every detail, and Matt still delivered something better than what I asked for. The ongoing support means I can add services and make changes whenever I need to — always done quickly, always with a creative touch.

(faqs)

Straight answers.

Are you actually based in Manchester?

Yes. Not a London agency with a Manchester landing page. One developer, based here.

Do you only work with Manchester businesses?

No. Everything's done remotely, so I work with businesses across the UK and abroad. Being local just means you're never chasing someone in a different time zone.

How much does a website cost in Manchester?

The same as anywhere else. Framer sites are £2,500, Shopify stores £6,000, and custom builds start at £8,000. Fixed, and agreed before anything starts. Platform fees like hosting and your domain are paid directly, with no markup.

Why pick you over an agency?

You talk to the person doing the work. Prices are fixed and public. And you're not paying for an office, an account manager or a pitch deck.

Do I own the code and design once it's built?

Yes. Full ownership, no exceptions. Take it to another developer if you ever need to. Nothing's locked to me.
