South Yorkshire based • Working UK-wide
UK Web Developer for websites, systems & growth
I’m Michael Wood, a UK web developer helping businesses
build, improve and maintain websites and digital systems that
actually support the way they work.
I work directly with businesses across the UK on
WordPress, WooCommerce, bespoke PHP development,
CRM systems, customer portals, automation,
technical SEO, performance improvements,
analytics and ongoing website support.
No agency hand-offs. No unnecessary layers.
You work directly with the developer doing the work.
UK-wide remote delivery:
websites, ecommerce, custom systems, SEO improvements,
automation and ongoing technical support can all be delivered
remotely wherever your business is based.
Straightforward pricing
Know the starting point before we talk.
Simple starting prices for the work people ask about most. Anything more bespoke is quoted around the actual requirement.
Updates, fixes and ongoing help available after launch.
Bespoke systems, portals and automation priced around the workflow.
What I do
Web development and technical services for UK businesses
From a new website through to a bespoke internal platform, I focus on practical solutions that are fast, maintainable and useful to the business.

Website maintenance ↗
Direct developer
Work with the person actually building it
A lot of web projects become slower and more expensive because information passes through sales teams, account managers and multiple developers.
When you work with me, you speak directly to the person scoping, building and supporting the project. That makes it easier to explain problems, make decisions and get changes shipped.
✓ Direct communication
✓ Clear scope before development
✓ Practical technical advice

Platforms & technology
Built around the job, not a favourite tool
I use established platforms where they make sense, and bespoke development where an off-the-shelf solution would create more limitations than it solves.
WordPress
Business websites, content-managed sites, custom themes, plugin work and improvements to existing WordPress installations.
WordPress development ↗WooCommerce
Online stores, custom checkout logic, payments, shipping, product workflows and ecommerce troubleshooting.
WooCommerce & ecommerce ↗Bespoke PHP
Custom business systems, CRMs, portals, booking systems, dashboards and workflows that need more flexibility.
Bespoke systems ↗
Problems I solve
You do not always need a completely new website
Broken
Something has stopped working
Broken forms, checkout failures, plugin conflicts, PHP errors, email problems, integration failures and unexpected behaviour can often be repaired without rebuilding the whole website.
Website rescue & bug fixes ↗
Slow
The website feels heavy or sluggish
Slow loading, poor mobile performance, oversized assets, plugin overhead and frontend problems can make a good website frustrating to use.
Speed optimisation ↗
Limited
The current system no longer fits
Spreadsheets, generic CRMs and disconnected tools can become difficult to manage as a business grows. A bespoke system can bring key workflows together.
CRM & automation ↗
Invisible
The website is not generating enough visibility
Weak page targeting, poor internal linking, indexing issues, bad performance and unclear site structure can hold useful pages back.
SEO services ↗Not sure what the best route is?
Send me the website and explain what you want to improve. I can tell you whether it looks like a repair, redesign, development, performance, SEO or automation project.
SEO & performance
Development and SEO often overlap
Technical SEO recommendations often require actual development work: templates need changing, redirects need fixing, scripts need removing, landing pages need restructuring or tracking needs correcting.
I can identify the issue and implement the changes, rather than leaving you with an audit document that needs to be passed to another developer.

How I work
Clear scope. Practical build. Clean handover.
01
Understand the problem
Start with what the business needs, what is currently getting in the way and what a successful result looks like.
02
Build the useful part
Keep the scope focused on functionality, reliability, usability and the outcomes the project actually needs to deliver.
03
Keep it maintainable
The finished work should be easier to support and extend rather than creating a fragile system that causes problems later.
