about

Darren, here. Webflow developer & marketer

Smiling man with a beard wearing a patterned blazer and white shirt against a green background.

I started out building websites that looked great. Over time, I realised that design alone wasn’t enough. Real results came from optimising what happened after launch : SEO, content, and conversion.

Today, I combine those skills to help businesses grow online through strategy, optimisation, and ongoing improvement.

What makes me different

Not an Agency, Not Just a FreelancerYou get the personal attention and flexibility of a freelancer with the expertise and professionalism of an agency. No account managers, no getting lost in the shuffle—just direct access to me.Full-Service ThinkingMost developers hand you a website and walk away. Most marketers don't understand technical implementation. I bridge that gap, offering development, optimisation, and marketing under one roof.Built for the Long TermI don't just want to complete your project—I want to be your go-to digital partner for years. Many of my clients stick around on monthly retainers because they trust me to keep their web presence thriving.Early Adopter AdvantageI was optimising for answer engines before most people knew what AEO was. I stay ahead of trends so my clients benefit from early-mover advantages.

Discovery. Strategy. Dev.

Every project starts with discovery. I ask questions, learn your business, and create a clear plan before any work begins. You'll always know what's happening and why.

Realistic without overpromising.

My development timeline is usually 6 weeks, with an extra 4-6 weeks if design is included. If something's going to take 6 weeks, I'll tell you 6 weeks—not 2 weeks to win the project.

I'm not into plate-spinning.

I take on a limited number of projects at a time to ensure quality. If my calendar's full, I'll let you know when I have availability rather than rush your project.
