Manchester, UKIndependent by nature

I make
WordPress
work.

I'm Nick, a WordPress developer in Manchester. I build thoughtful websites and clever integrations for the people who use them — and the people who run them.

A few things I've made
10+ years in the makingStill curious. Still shipping.

WordPress should feel like a tool, not a puzzle. I build custom themes, blocks and integrations that load fast, make sense to edit, and help good businesses grow.

Good work.
Real people.

A selection of independent client projects, plus the kind of work I do behind the scenes.

Some of my best work doesn't have a public link. Custom Gutenberg blocks, a UK and Irish company-search API, and smart lead-generation flows — built to make complex websites feel simple.

Technical
enough for the
hard bits.

Considered enough not to make them complicated. I care about how a site works behind the curtain just as much as how it feels in front of it.
