Web development

A web developer for the jobs a template can’t do.

I’m Rhys, a web developer and designer in Caerphilly. Apps, members’ areas, shops and systems that talk to each other, built properly for small businesses and clubs across South Wales, then looked after once they’re live.

What I build

Web apps and members’ areas

Logins, dashboards and tools your customers or members use every week. The LOG runs a golf society’s whole season: scores entered on the course, handicaps worked out as they go, league tables and knockouts that update themselves.

The LOG: the case study

Online shops

A proper catalogue, basket and checkout, with payments straight to your bank. WYDDFA sells its clothing in Welsh and English, with cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the checkout.

Bookings, quotes and enquiries

Forms that ask the right questions so you know what you’re pricing before you ring back. Caerleon Carpets’ quote form asks the type of flooring up front, with WhatsApp and both phone numbers beside it.

Connected to what you already use

Your site talking to your booking system, CRM, payments or invoicing, so nobody retypes anything. Scoped and quoted individually, because every setup is different.

Built properly, then looked after

Custom-built around your business, never a template with your logo dropped in
Fast on a phone and built so Google can read it properly
Installable like an app where that helps, with no app store in the way
Yours: once it’s paid for, you own the finished site, outright
Looked after once it’s live: hosting, security, backups and updates
One person from the first chat to launch: the person you talk to writes the code

“I’m really happy with the golf society app that Rhys developed for us. He understood exactly what we needed and was always quick to make adjustments and improvements whenever required.”

Josh Drake, The LOGon

What it costs

Custom builds start from £5,000, as a fixed price agreed before anything starts. If what you need is a straightforward site, it’s far less: websites start from £495.

Not sure what you need?

Tell me what you’re trying to do, not how. I’ll come back with the simplest thing that does the job, a price, and a date.

Straight answers

Can you build an app?

Often the best answer is a web app: it works on any phone, can be added to the home screen like any app, and updates reach everyone at once, without an app store. That’s how The LOG works. If you genuinely need an app-store app, I’ll tell you honestly.

Who owns the code?

Once your final invoice is paid, you own the finished design, your content and the specific site you were sold, outright. I keep my own general-purpose building blocks so I can reuse them, and you get a permanent licence to use them in your site.

Can you take over a site or system someone else built?

Often, yes. I’ll look at what you have and tell you plainly whether it’s worth building on, or if it’s too limited to extend, rather than talk you into a rebuild you don’t need.

How do you price custom work?

As a fixed price, agreed before anything starts. Custom builds start from £5,000. Anything that changes the scope later gets its own fixed quote or is billed at £55 an hour, and is never added silently.
