What I do

Web design, development & SEO

I work with local businesses and professionals who need a site that looks credible, loads fast, and is built with proper structure — not a generic template thrown online overnight.

Based in Grimsby, working with businesses across North East Lincolnshire including Cleethorpes and Immingham.

Alongside my degree, I take on freelance web projects where the priority is clarity: strong layout, sensible information architecture, and SEO foundations that match how people actually search — including local intent around Grimsby and the wider North East Lincolnshire area.
