Craft CMS Development
I’m a no-nonsense, experienced developer who works with Content Management Systems and specialises in Craft CMS. I’m transparent and known for being brutally honest. The following are some of the most popular jobs I undertake.
Craft 4 stopped getting security fixes on 30 April 2026.
That date has passed, so Pixel & Tonic no longer patch vulnerabilities and plugins are gradually losing support. A Craft 4 site only gets riskier the longer it sits. The safe move is upgrading to Craft 5, which is supported until the end of 2031. Migrations are something I do. If you want a hand with yours, get in touch.
A CMS that gets out of your way
Craft makes no assumptions about your site, so it bends to your content instead of forcing your content into a template. After years building in it, it’s the CMS I reach for first, and the one I’m happy to put my name to.
Content Flexibility
Model your content the way it actually works. Entries, categories, tags and custom fields, shaped around your site rather than a fixed blog layout.
Live Preview
See exactly how a change looks as you type, and share a private preview link with anyone who needs to sign it off.
Author Experience
Drafts, version history, scheduled publishing, and a control panel that stays out of the way. Editors tend to pick it up without a manual.
One Install, Many Sites
Run several sites or languages from a single Craft install. One place to manage it all, translated down to the individual field, with no duplicated effort.
Headless When You Need It
A built-in GraphQL API means the same content can feed your website today and an app, kiosk or anything else tomorrow. No rebuild required.
Fast by Design
A lean core plus proper static caching means Craft sites are quick out of the box, and stay quick as they grow.
Craft CMS vs WordPress
I build in Craft, so I'm hardly neutral. But here's the honest version of why, for most content sites, it's the better tool for the job.
With Craft
- Built bespoke around your content. No theme to fight and no shoehorning plugins to do basic things.
- A small, audited core with a handful of known vulnerabilities in its whole life, not thousands.
- A control panel shaped like your content, so editors pick it up straight away.
- Accessibility taken seriously. The W3C moved their own site to Craft over WordPress for exactly that reason.
- Fewer moving parts, so there is less to patch and less to break.
With WordPress
- A pile of plugins bolted on to do what ought to be built in.
- The web's biggest target, and most hacked CMS sites are WordPress, usually through a plugin.
- An admin that has grown cluttered enough to often need its own training.
- Known accessibility gaps in the block editor that have pushed serious organisations away.
- A steady drip of plugin updates, conflicts and the occasional nasty surprise.

Selling online? Keep it in the same platform.
Craft Commerce turns your Craft site into a proper store without leaving the system you already manage. Same control panel, same templates, same content. I build these, and I've shipped my own Commerce plugins along the way to fill the gaps on real client stores.
See my Commerce plugins- One platform. Products, content and pages live in the same CMS, with the same editing experience. No separate shop bolted on the side.
- Properly custom. Subscriptions, tiered pricing, deposits, print-on-demand, B2B rules. Built around how the business actually sells, not a fixed template.
- First-party, not plugin soup. Commerce comes from the same team as Craft, so it updates and behaves like the rest of your site.
- Built by someone who ships Commerce. I have written and released my own Craft Commerce plugins, so I know it well past the surface.
