I turn “wouldn’t it be good if…” into “look, it’s working.”

I’m Tim. I’ve been building websites and software since 2004, mostly for people with an idea or a process that’s driving them mad.

Got an idea? Let’s talk

What I do

From half-formed idea to something you can click.

Most of the people I work with have something that's been nagging at them for a while, an idea they keep coming back to or a job that takes far longer than it should. I help get that out of their head and into something that actually works, without a mountain of meetings along the way.

01

Challenge the idea

First I'll ask what it's actually for. Plenty of ideas change shape once we talk them through.
02

Work out the technology

Then I pick tools that suit the job, usually something boring and reliable rather than this week's shiny thing.
03

Build it

Then I build it, get it in front of real people early, and tweak it based on what they actually do.

KinoChain

A casual film magazine built around the idea that good films lead you to other good films.

Putting an Astro site on a plain Nginx server

A static Astro site doesn't need PHP, Node or anything clever on the server. Here's the Nginx config I use, and the mistake I nearly shipped.

Making Stripe fees land in the right place

Passing Stripe's fees on to customers sounds like simple maths, until you notice Stripe charges its percentage on the fee you've just added. Here's the formula I use for WeRunTickets.

Plex DVR & the Microsoft Xbox TV Tuner

How a £5 CEX find replaced an HDHomeRun, plus the Ubuntu tweaks that make the Xbox One Digital TV Tuner actually work with Plex.

Have an idea?

Drop me an email. A couple of lines is plenty, we can work out the rest together.
