Craft CMS Development

I'm a freelance Craft CMS developer based in Bristol, UK. I build custom Craft websites, both traditional and headless, that are fast, accessible and a joy for content teams to use.

Craft CMS is one of my favourite tools for content-rich websites. Its flexible content modelling means the CMS can be shaped around your content, rather than forcing your content to fit the CMS. The result is a site that's easier to edit, easier to maintain and easier to grow.

What I can help with

Custom Craft CMS builds

From planning sections, entry types and fields through to the finished templates, I build Craft sites from the ground up. I work closely with your team to model content the way you think about it, so editing feels natural from day one.

Headless Craft CMS

Craft also works well as a headless CMS, with a modern JavaScript front end. For Beeston Media, I paired a headless Craft back end with a Next.js and Tailwind CSS front end, giving them a fast, modern site for their showreel and case studies.

Twig templating and front-end development

For traditional Craft builds, I write clean, well-organised Twig templates, with modern CSS and lightweight JavaScript. Tools like Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js keep things quick to build and quick to load.

Ongoing development and support

Already have a Craft site? I can add new features, improve performance and accessibility, or tidy up an existing codebase. I worked with Chalkboard for nearly a year, shipping new features and building a system that generated thousands of landing pages for their marketing.

SEO and marketing

Craft is a great fit for marketing teams. I can set up SEO tools, structured content for landing pages and campaign templates, so your team can launch new pages without waiting on a developer.

How I work

Every project is different, but my Craft CMS builds usually include:

• Content modelling workshops, so the CMS matches how your team works.
• Custom Twig templates, or a headless front end where it makes sense.
• Accessibility built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.
• Performance budgets, optimised images and minimal JavaScript.
• Version-controlled code, project config and a sensible deployment workflow.
• Handover documentation and training, so your team is confident editing the site.

Not sure Craft is the right fit? I also build with WordPress, and I'm happy to help you choose the right CMS for your project.
