Hello, I'm
Fraser Clark
I build websites / business applications / AI solutions / consultancy
A freelance web developer with 15+ years experience helping businesses, charities, and agencies build web solutions that actually work.
The Difference
What You're Actually Paying For
Many "WordPress developers" are really just configurators. They buy a ready-made theme for £30 and charge you thousands to click buttons. Here's how that compares to working with a professional.
The "Template Tweakers"
-
Your site is built on a £30 template
The same design thousands of other websites use. You're paying for clicks, not craftsmanship.
-
Editing your own content is a nightmare
Page builders force you to think about grids, columns, padding, and spacing. You wanted to write, not design.
-
Slow, bloated websites
Templates include features for every possible use case—most of which you'll never need—slowing your site down for everyone.
-
Updates break things
20+ plugins fighting with each other. Every update is a gamble. One day, something just stops working.
-
No safety net
Changes made directly on your live site. If something goes wrong, there's no "undo" button.
Working with Fraser
-
Built from scratch, for you
Every line of code written specifically for your business. Not a template tweaked to "sort of" fit.
-
Content editing that makes sense
Simple content blocks where you just write. Add a heading, add an image, done. No fiddling with layouts or spacing—that's already handled.
-
Fast, lean websites
Only the code your site actually needs. Faster loading times mean better Google rankings and happier visitors.
-
Updates that don't break things
Minimal, carefully chosen plugins. Custom functionality built properly, not cobbled together from a dozen third-party tools.
-
Test before you go live
All changes tested on a separate copy of your site first. If anything looks wrong, we fix it before anyone sees it.
The difference isn't just quality—it's longevity. A properly built site is easier to update, faster to load, and won't leave you stranded when your "developer" disappears.
