I’m Paul - an Edinburgh-born developer who’s spent twenty-six years writing code, specialising in WordPress, WooCommerce and native iOS. Most of my work arrives through other agencies: when a build is too gnarly, too bespoke, or too important to risk, they send it to me.
No teams to brief, no juniors learning on your budget. Just senior code, written by the person you actually spoke to.
A growing family of iOS and Mac apps, designed, built and supported solo - from company search to bin-day reminders.

“Eight of every ten agencies in Edinburgh send their WordPress work to him. There’s a reason for that.”
“Paul made the whole process really easy. We weren’t sure what we wanted at first, but he helped us figure it out and built a website we’re genuinely proud to send our customers to.”
“Having worked with [Paul] for over a decade I have never had an experience less than ideal. Excellent quality, rapid and accurate communication and an end product to be proud of.”
