About me
Michael Wood — UK web developer

Hi — I’m Michael.

I build and improve WordPress sites, WooCommerce stores and custom PHP systems. You work directly with me — no agency layers, no hand-offs. Most delivery is UK-wide remote (calls, docs, staging links, tidy releases).

10+ years experience UK-wide (remote) Based in South Yorkshire Direct developer
What you can expect: clear scope, sensible estimates, tidy handover, and work that won’t bite you later.
In plain English
✅ I reduce risk before touching live sites
✅ I focus on the real bottleneck
✅ I ship in small, safe steps
✅ I explain trade-offs clearly
Typical response time Fast

If it’s urgent, say so — I’ll tell you quickly what’s realistic and what the next step is.

UK-wide: I regularly work with clients across the UK — being local just means meeting is an option.

How I work

Principles that keep projects smooth

Scope before code

You’ll get a clear “what we’re doing / what we’re not doing” so there are no surprises later.

Risk first, not last

Backups, staging, rollback plans, and safe releases — especially for live WooCommerce sites.

Small changes over big rewrites

Big rewrites are risky. I prefer small improvements that move the needle without breaking everything.

Decisions explained, not hidden

You’ll know why I’m recommending something and what the trade-offs are (cost, speed, long-term).

UK-wide delivery

Local when helpful, remote as standard

Most projects are delivered remotely across the UK: short calls, written scope, staging links, and small safe releases. If you’re local to South Yorkshire (Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster), meeting is easy — but not required.

Support

Organised support through a private client portal

Clients get access to a private portal to message me, attach screenshots/files, and track tickets from open to resolved — no chasing, no lost emails.

Portal access is created once we start working together.
FAQ

About working together

Do you work with clients outside South Yorkshire?
Yes — most of my work is UK-wide remote. Location isn’t a blocker; you still work directly with me.
How do you keep changes safe on live sites?
I use backups, staging where appropriate, careful deployments, and a rollback plan for anything risky (especially WooCommerce checkouts and payment flows).
What do you need from me to start?
A link to the site (if it exists) and a short brief describing the goal. If it’s a fix, tell me what changed and any errors you see.
