Doing the stuff that counts

Work with me to step things up a gear. To tackle the hard stuff head on. The stuff that makes a difference.

Rapid feature development

I prefer to deliver a fast V1, let you test then iterate from your feedback. I'm not a fan of over-engineering.

Bug fixes

I can fix bugs at the root cause. I will write automated checks and tests to reduce the chances of new ones occuring.

Emergency help

If there's an urgent issue - I'm just a phone call away. I don't expect these every week but will endeavour to respond quickly if they occur.

Security & backups

After working through a range pen-tests, I can help protect your application from common threats. I will also help plan for disaster recovery.

API integrations

Quickbooks, Stripe, Mailchimp, AI tools and more! Not all integrations are easy but we can tackle them.

Communication and ownership

I will throw myself into your project and become your application right-hand man. I'll update you every week.

Client testimonials

What clients say about my Laravel work

Real feedback from businesses I've helped transform with Laravel

"It has been a great experience working with Joe over the last 9 months. They took my really loose brief (I’m not technically literate at all) for an SAAS product and turned it into a reality."

Owner
Security company

"I would absolutely recommend Joe to anyone considering a web application build."

Director
Marketing agency

"The process was very smooth. It’s rare in software development in my experience to be able to produce a system as complex as the one that was delivered in this project with as little friction, and as close to timeline, as was achieved with HiTide."

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

Everything you need to know about working with me

Why don't I just hire an in-house developer?

Cost and responsibility! A full-time senior developer costs £60k per year plus employer costs, equipment and employer's risk. And good luck getting rid of them if they're not up to scratch. You can cancel me anytime if you're not happy.

Can you work with my existing development team?

I can but most people hire me to either take ownership of the project and be the sole developer or carve out a particular portion for me to be responsible for. I also can't be on Slack or attend daily standups.

Why don't I hire an offshore developer or team? Some quote $20 per hour.

I knew a guy who had an offshore development team. Every feature was at least 100 hours of work. Things that should have taken an afternoon took weeks. If you go down this route I wish you luck (you will need every bit of it).

Do you provide emergency support?

To an extent. Here's the deal - I expect from time to time there to be a real emergency. You call me, I will do my best to drop what I'm doing and get on the case. The expectation is that these are not every week. And when an incident like this occurs, I'll then be working to make sure it doesn't happen again.

What if I want to cancel?

You can cancel at any time. There is no contractual lock in.

How many hours will I get?

I don't track hours. Hours have little relevance to the end result you're after. I only work with 3 clients at one time on a retainer basis. The output of my work and value created has not come under question yet.

Tell me about the guarantee.

So, I charge up-front. In the first month if you decide it's not for you I'll refund you. That's it really. So it's a pretty risk free investment.

I have more questions.
