Web development for ambitious Leeds companies
Leeds has a strong mix of professional services, retailers, finance businesses, agencies, manufacturers and growing independent companies. Many of these businesses need websites that support real commercial goals rather than simply acting as an online brochure.
I combine front-end website work with PHP, databases, APIs, WordPress, WooCommerce, Stripe and automation. That means I can improve the customer-facing website while also building the systems and workflows that support the business behind it.
→ Lead-generation websites for professional and B2B services
→ WooCommerce stores with custom product and checkout journeys
→ Customer portals, dashboards and private CRMs
→ Stripe payments, API integrations and automated emails
→ Technical SEO, performance and conversion tracking
eCommerce and conversion
WooCommerce development for Leeds retailers and product businesses

Product journeys
Custom product options, bundles, variations, personalisation fields and guided ordering journeys that make complex products easier to buy.
Checkout and payments
Stripe, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay, checkout optimisation and fixes for payment errors or customer drop-off.
Shipping and fulfilment
Delivery thresholds, local collection, product exclusions, region rules and tailored WooCommerce shipping logic.
Common problems
What Leeds businesses often need help with
Sometimes the best result comes from improving the website or system you already have rather than rebuilding everything from scratch.
An outdated website
Rebuilding websites that no longer represent the business, feel difficult to update, perform poorly on mobile or fail to generate enough enquiries.
WooCommerce friction
Fixing awkward product options, checkout errors, payment problems, shipping rules, plugin conflicts and confusing purchase journeys.
Manual processes
Replacing repeated spreadsheet work, duplicated data entry and disconnected systems with a custom CRM, dashboard or automated workflow.
Slow performance
Improving loading times, image delivery, caching, script weight and other issues affecting Core Web Vitals.
Poor search visibility
Strengthening technical SEO, local page structure, internal links, content hierarchy, crawlability and indexing.
Missing integrations
Connecting websites with booking systems, payment providers, email services, APIs and internal business tools.
