About
The developer who'll actually build your site.
I've specialised in this for 7+ years — and I don't build from templates. Every site is hand-coded from raw HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the way the fastest, best-performing sites on the web are built. I'm an advanced full-stack developer; I studied engineering management at Loughborough University and went on to a Harvard education, then turned programmer. Right now I'm also serving as Fractional CTO to a number of international startups and established businesses — so the same standard of work that runs tech for serious companies is what goes into every UK Web Marketing site.
And it's a one-person operation by design: no agency, no account managers, no being passed around. When you message, you get me — from the first hello to the day you go live and beyond. I reply fast (usually within the hour), keep you in the loop without you ever chasing, and I'm happy to hop on a WhatsApp call or video call any time it helps. Cancel anytime: the subscription has no minimum term, no exit fee, no chase-up. After 12 paid months the site files transfer to you (I send a zip) so you can self-host or move it anywhere; cancel before then and the site simply comes down — that's how the free first month + £45/mo stays sustainable.
How I got here
I built my first website on Weebly in school, then moved to Wix not long after. Like a lot of kids who got online early, the appeal was that the gap between an idea and a published site was tiny — you could imagine a thing on a Saturday and have it live on Sunday. That's where the obsession started.
By sixth form I'd moved to WordPress and was building projects for friends, family, the school. Themes you could rip apart, plugins for everything, real customisation — it felt like the next level. Then the bills came in. Every project ended the same way: a "simple" small-business site that should have taken a few days became months of work and four-figure invoices, most of it spent wrangling plugin conflicts, fixing theme-update breakages and debugging interactions between two plugins that worked fine in isolation. I got very good at WordPress. I also got resentful of it.
University was when the switch flipped. I started learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript from the spec up — actually reading the standard, understanding why a typical Wix or WordPress site loads a megabyte of code before it shows anything, and learning how modern browsers really work. The day I shipped my first hand-coded site without a CMS in sight, and watched it load in under a second on a mobile connection, was the day I stopped recommending WordPress to anyone.
From there I expanded — different stacks (React, Next.js, Astro, plain JavaScript), different domains (frontend, backend, infrastructure, security), different problem shapes (Fractional CTO work for startups, custom SaaS for clients, sites for small businesses). The breadth matters less than the underlying conviction: small-business websites should be honest, fast, and not cost the earth. UK Web Marketing exists because that conviction can be a product.
On AI
I use AI tools every day — for boilerplate, for thinking through architectural decisions out loud, for spotting bugs in 200-line functions, for sanity-checking copy. Used carefully, AI is the biggest multiplier for a one-person developer that has ever existed. It's one of the reasons I can offer all this at £45/month and still mean it.
What I don't do is treat AI as the means to the end. Every site I ship is reviewed line-by-line, hand-tuned for the specific business it serves, and accountable to me when it's live. The customer pays me to know which 5% of an AI-generated draft needs throwing away and rewriting — and which 95% was the right shape to start with. The value isn't in producing code fast (that's commoditised). It's in producing the right code, carefully.
Same principle on the marketing side: AI helps me draft angles, stress-test phrasings, and shake loose the obvious copy I'd otherwise write on autopilot. I take what's useful, rewrite what isn't, and cut what doesn't fit. I won't claim every word has been signed off line-by-line — typos and stale references do slip through, and when you spot one, message me and I'll fix it the same day. It's a tool in the loop, not a ghostwriter, and not infallible.
The company
UK Web Marketing builds modern, fast, genuinely good websites for UK small businesses — for £45 a month, all in, instead of the four-figure upfront an agency would quote for the same work. It is operated by TicketWave HQ Ltd, a registered UK company, so you are dealing with a real business you can verify, not a freelancer with a Gmail address.
The idea came from a frustration. Walk down any high street and you'll find excellent small businesses — restaurants, garages, builders, salons, clinics — losing work to competitors purely because their website is slow, dated, or simply isn't there. The work to fix that isn't worth four figures. It never was.
So I built a way to do it properly and affordably: a refined system, honed across more than ninety real websites in nineteen industries, that lets me build each site fast and around the trade it serves. A restaurant gets a menu. A car trader gets stock. A builder gets call-outs. You get a website that earns its keep — for one fair monthly price.
