I use modern techniques and the best technologies to develop all kinds of websites and web applications.

Home

Hi, I'm Stuart.

I am a qualified programmer from Dublin and I have been building websites and web applications for close to twenty years. I am a full-stack web developer, which means that I have all the requisite skills to code and deploy modern websites and applications. I also have a solid understanding of good web design.

I work with sole traders, new businesses, established organisations, government institutions and web design agencies.

My preferred
technologies

Laravel

Laravel gives web developers super powers. It's an extremely flexible PHP framework that defines sensible structures and common features that 99% of web applications need. I rarely use anything else.

GitHub

GitHub is a place to store code and allow developers to collaborate safely. The Git version control system maintains a full history of all changes and contributions made to your applications code. I use it for every project, and I give full code ownership to my clients.

Tailwind

Tailwind CSS is a game changer for front-end developers and CSS coders. It enables me to rapidly & accurately convert complicated website designs into highly responsive websites. It's easy to work with and optimised to the nines to produce tiny files for the fastest websites.

Statamic

Statamic is a modern content management solution that integrates nicely with the Laravel framework. It's a joy to work with for both developers and content managers alike. So long WordPress!

Vue

When I have to write a lot of very complicated JavaScript then I always reach for a good JS framework. Vue.js is my favourite and it can be used to develop complex, highly reactive user interfaces and single page applications.

Cloud Technology

I work with the best cloud providers including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Digital Ocean. These technologies make sure your website is always fast and reliable.

Nova

Nova is a administration panel for Laravel that enables fast building of sophisticated forms, tables and other admin components. It's very powerful and can save a lot of time and money when compared to building custom admin panels.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap CSS is a solid collection of pre-made components that can be used to quickly build user interfaces and administration panels, especially when teamed-up with Vue.js in the BootstrapVue library.

Livewire

Livewire adds modern reactivity to Laravel websites without writing a single line of JavaScript. It enables me to build highly reactive components in a fraction of the time that it would using a heavyweight JS framework, such as Vue.

Inertia.js

Inertia.js allows me to build highly reactive and seamless user interfaces - which is perfect for websites and apps that have lots of buttons and interactive controls. Inertia.js unleashes the power of Vue and Laravel.

MoLI

The Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) is located beside St. Stephen's Green in Dublin City Centre, and I have been working with them for many years.

What began as a single WordPress site has now become multiple Laravel sites. We are using a combination of modern content management and administration systems to manage the museum's unique content. These technologies have opened up endless possibilities for both me as the developer and for MoLI as content creators.

Features:

The main moli.ie website and sub-sites: radio.moli.ie, exhibitions.moli.ie.
Multiple Statamic content management systems.
Custom Filament membership system to take online payments as in-person payments.
