Technical web development for Birmingham companies
Birmingham has a broad business community spanning professional services, manufacturing, retail, construction, technology and logistics. Many businesses need websites that support sales, operations and customer communication rather than simply acting as a digital brochure.
I combine front-end development with PHP, MySQL, APIs, WordPress, WooCommerce, Stripe and automation. That means I can work on both the public-facing website and the technical systems behind it.
→ Lead-generation websites for professional and B2B services
→ WooCommerce stores with tailored product and checkout journeys
→ CRMs, dashboards and customer portals
→ API integrations, Stripe payments and automated communication
→ Technical SEO, website performance and analytics
Manufacturing and B2B
Websites and systems for Birmingham manufacturers and suppliers
Technical and industrial businesses often need clear product information, enquiry journeys, trade forms and systems that support internal teams.
Product and service structure
Clear category pages, product information, specification content and tailored enquiry routes for complex offerings.
Trade enquiries
Quote forms, account applications, document uploads and enquiry workflows designed around B2B buyers.
Internal systems
Dashboards, customer records, order workflows and automation that reduce repeated administration.
Common problems
What Birmingham businesses often need help with
Sometimes the best result comes from improving your existing website or system rather than rebuilding everything unnecessarily.
An outdated website
Rebuilding websites that no longer represent the company, feel difficult to update, perform poorly on mobile or fail to generate enough enquiries.
WooCommerce issues
Fixing product options, payment problems, shipping rules, plugin conflicts and confusing checkout journeys.
Manual admin
Replacing duplicated spreadsheets, emails and disconnected tools with a custom CRM, dashboard or automated workflow.
Slow performance
Improving loading times, image delivery, caching, script weight and other Core Web Vitals issues.
Poor search visibility
Strengthening technical SEO, local page structure, internal links, crawlability and Search Console setup.
Missing integrations
Connecting websites with payment providers, booking systems, email platforms, APIs and internal tools.

How your Birmingham web project works

✅ 4. Review — you receive a staging link and can provide structured feedback.
✅ 5. Launch — deployment, technical checks, analytics and Search Console setup.
✅ 6. Ongoing support — hosting, maintenance and further development if needed.
