About Michael Wood

Developer first. Easy to work with.

I design and build websites, ecommerce, CRM systems and automation for businesses that want the technical side handled properly — without layers of account management or agency jargon.

Approach Direct & practical
In plain English

I build the thing. You speak to the person building it.

I work directly with businesses from the first idea through to launch, fixes and ongoing support.

Some projects are straightforward websites. Others involve ecommerce, booking flows, custom dashboards, client portals, internal CRM systems or automation behind the scenes.

The important part is that the solution fits the business rather than forcing the business into a template that does not really work.

What I work on

The work is broader than just websites.

The website is often the visible part. The useful part can also be the systems, integrations and automation working behind it.

01

Websites

Bespoke business websites, landing pages and redesigns built to look credible, work well on mobile and make the next step obvious.

02

WordPress & WooCommerce

Custom development, ecommerce, checkout work, plugin fixes, integrations and functionality beyond standard themes.

03

CRM & Portals

Customer records, jobs, bookings, quotes, client areas and dashboards designed around the way the business actually operates.

04

Automation

Email workflows, payment actions, reminders, document generation and integrations that remove repetitive admin.

How I work

Keep the project clear. Keep the technical risk low.

I prefer sensible, maintainable solutions over unnecessary rewrites or clever-looking complexity. Especially on live websites and ecommerce, the safest route is usually the best one.

View my process
01

Scope before code

Agree what is being done, what is not, and what success looks like before development starts.

02

Protect the live site

Backups, staging and rollback planning where the change carries meaningful risk.

03

Explain the trade-offs

If one route is faster, cheaper or easier to maintain, you should know why before deciding.

04

Build for the next change too

Good code should not make the next improvement harder than it needs to be.

Working directly

No hand-off between sales and development.

01

You explain the problem once.

The person on the call is also the person thinking through the technical solution.

02

Questions get answered properly.

You are not waiting for an account manager to pass a question to a developer and back again.

03

Changes stay practical.

If there is a simpler way to achieve the result, I can tell you before unnecessary work is added.

After launch

Support does not have to live in random emails.

Ongoing clients can use a private portal to send requests, attach screenshots and files, and keep support work organised in one place.

South Yorkshire & UK-wide

Local when useful. Remote when easier.

I’m based in South Yorkshire and work with businesses across the UK. Most projects are handled through calls, written scope, staging links and direct communication.

FAQ

Before we work together.

A few of the common questions about how I work and the type of projects I take on.

Do you work with clients outside South Yorkshire? +
Yes. Most projects can be delivered remotely across the UK. Calls, written scope, staging links and clear project updates make location much less important.
Do I deal directly with you? +
Yes. You deal directly with me from the first conversation through to delivery and support, without account managers or hand-offs.
What kind of work do you take on? +
Websites, WordPress, WooCommerce, custom PHP development, CRM systems, client portals, booking systems, integrations, automation, fixes and ongoing support.
How do you keep live-site changes safe? +
For higher-risk work I use backups, staging where appropriate, careful releases and a rollback plan, especially around ecommerce, checkout and payment functionality.
