Is This You?

Most of my clients arrive at the same point: something that used to work well enough has quietly become a liability.

📊
Running on spreadsheets

What started as a simple tracker is now the backbone of your operation. Multiple files, one person who understands it, and a quiet dread every time someone asks for a report.

🗄️
Stuck on a legacy system

MS Access, an old VB6 application, or software your supplier no longer supports. It works — just about — but every new requirement is harder than the last.

🏢
Been quoted agency prices

You've spoken to development agencies and come away with proposals that either don't fit your budget or don't fit your business. You need bespoke, not off-the-shelf.

🔗
Systems that don't talk to each other

Your accounts package, your CRM, your stock system — all separate. Staff re-entering the same data in three places. The integration you need doesn't exist as a plugin.

If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I've solved all of these problems, for businesses of all sizes, more times than I can count.

How I Work

A straightforward process that keeps you in control from day one.

1

Discovery

We start with a conversation. I learn how your business operates, where the pain points are, and what a successful outcome looks like. No jargon, no sales pitch.

2

Design & Prototype

I map out the solution architecture and build a working prototype you can see and click through. You give feedback early — before a single line of production code is written.

3

Build & Iterate

Development happens in short cycles with regular demos. You see progress every week and can steer direction as your understanding of what you need evolves.

4

Launch & Support

Deployment, training, and ongoing support. Most of my clients have been with me for over a decade — I treat your system as a long-term partnership, not a one-off project.

Why Businesses Choose SWF

Over 20 years building enterprise systems for UK businesses. From small startups to £74M+ turnover companies, I deliver software that works the way you do.

When you work with SWF, there are no account managers or project coordinators between you and the work getting done. I take the brief, I write the code, I test it, I deploy it, and I support it. That means faster decisions, no translation errors, and a developer who genuinely understands your business after years — not weeks — of working together.

I'm not the cheapest option, and I don't try to be. I'm the option that's still there five years later when you need something changed, and who knows your system well enough to change it properly.

01
You Own Everything Full source code ownership. No licensing traps. No vendor lock-in.
02
One Developer, No Middlemen You talk directly to the person writing your code. Fast decisions, no agency overhead.
03
AI-Accelerated Delivery AI-assisted development means faster delivery without cutting corners on quality.
04
Long-Term Partnerships Most clients have been with me for 10+ years. I build, support, and evolve your systems.

Serving Businesses Across Southern England

Based in Axminster, East Devon. Working with clients from Cornwall to Kent. Remote-first with on-site visits when needed.

Most of my work is done remotely — screen sharing, video calls, and shared demos mean geography rarely matters. For the projects where being on-site adds genuine value, I'm happy to travel. Several of my longest-standing clients are based hours away and we've worked together effectively for over a decade without it ever being an issue.
