I’m a Salford-based freelance software developer building custom web applications for businesses across Salford Quays, MediaCityUK, Eccles, Swinton, Worsley, Walkden, and the wider M-postcode area. If your business has outgrown its spreadsheets or off-the-shelf SaaS tools, I build the bespoke replacement.
Why Salford
Salford is one of the most economically diverse cities in the North West. Salford Quays and MediaCityUK host media, tech, and creative businesses; the Trafford Road corridor and Eccles have a strong manufacturing and trade base; Swinton, Walkden, and Worsley support a thriving small-business and professional services community. All of these have one thing in common — growing businesses eventually outgrow generic software.
That’s where I come in. I build the kind of practical, focused web applications that replace whichever process is currently held together by spreadsheets, email chains, and the occasional cleverly-built Google Form.
What I Build for Salford Businesses
- Compliance and certification tracking for trades, care, and property businesses. See training matrix software.
- Booking and scheduling systems for clinics, training providers, and creative studios — particularly useful around MediaCityUK. See booking systems.
- Project and job management with quoting, scheduling, and invoicing — popular with Eccles and Trafford Road trade businesses. See trade job tracker.
- CRM and client portals for agencies and professional services.
- Dashboards and reporting for multi-site organisations and management teams.
How I Work With Salford Clients
Being Salford-based, I can be on-site within minutes if a face-to-face kickoff helps. Most clients prefer the video-call approach because it gets us building immediately — you see a working prototype within 48 hours instead of waiting weeks for a discovery phase.
Communication after kickoff happens primarily through Loom videos. I record a walkthrough of every iteration so you can review on your schedule, comment, and steer the build without sitting in meetings.
Pricing
Standard projects are £300–£800 as a one-time fee. Larger multi-module systems are scoped individually. You own the code, host it where you like, and pay no ongoing license fees.
Other Areas I Cover
Alongside Salford I work with businesses across Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Trafford, and the wider North West.
