I offer everything from full site builds to advanced development and critical fixes, with a focus on maintainability and usability. I come with an extensive toolkit of addons designed to reliably meet complex requirements with flexibility and precision.

My development approach is shaped by years of solving real-world challenges for small businesses to big corporations - integrating complex content sources, streamlining form workflows, and packaging modular functionality for reuse. The toolkit I’ve built provides a practical foundation that enables me to deliver robust, tailored solutions efficiently, without compromising on clarity or long-term maintainability.

Key tools include:

  • Form Reform - clear and adaptable forms with developer-friendly control.

  • Omni Gallery - a universal image gallery, slider and carousel engine.

  • Magic Tabs - wrap any block or combination of blocks into tabbed layouts.

  • Extreme Clean - removes accumulated clutter for leaner faster sites.

  • Universal Content Puller - dynamic content sourcing and reuse from anywhere.

  • Package Magic - easy packaging for clean deployment and reuse.

These addons are part of my everyday workflow, are available to the wider community through the Concrete CMS marketplace, and are showcased at c5magic.co.uk, where I also provide support and documentation.

I’m actively involved in the Concrete CMS community, including managing the Peer Review Board (PRB) to help maintain quality and consistency across marketplace submissions. This role keeps me engaged with other developers and ensures that shared solutions meet high standards.

I balance development work with a second career in underwater photography and journalism, combining structure and creativity across both disciplines.
