Hi I'm Giles (pronounced as if it was spelt with a J), originally from the UK, and a native English speaker, now living in northern France where I am learning to speak French - albeit but quite slowly. I have been building & developing e-commerce sites since the early 00's. This has meant gaining in-depth knowledge of, amongst other things: -- WooCommerce -- Contact Form 7 -- SEO -- Google Analytics, Tag Manager & Search Console -- Marketing -- Elementor (& Pro) -- HTML emails & HTML email templates -- MailChimp. -- WordPress Themes including Avada -- MLM When it comes to skills, what I do is make designers look good. I worry about functionality, usability and all the other bits that make people turn round to the designer and say, “that looks really great!”. Whilst I can design it’s not my passion: cutting-edge web design only works well when the site works well. Getting your site to deliver – that’s my passion! My spare time is mostly being used for DIY on the old house we have bought and I’m hoping to get back to music making at some point in the future – back in the day I spent 4 years training to be a classical musician! Oh, and I hold a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Captains license.

Giles was easy to communicate our needs with, gave great suggestions, was prompt with responses and followed through with all of the plans in a timely manner and on the schedule promised. I also appreciate the follow up meeting where he showed all of the changes that took place and explained the reasons for the issues we were experiencing.

Excellent developer. Giles aided in the development of a complex feature on my website. He was willing to speak to me for hours on the project idea and gave me further advice outside of the scope of work of the project. I highly recommend working with him

Giles exceeded all expectations as a collaborator. His professionalism and attention to detail were truly remarkable. From providing accurate timelines to being highly responsive, his communication skills were top-notch. When my previous contractor fell short, Giles stepped in and saved the day. Working with him has been an absolute pleasure, and I can confidently say that he is the best in the business. I highly recommend Giles for any project or task you may have.

Giles did a great job on my custom WP site. Multiple pieces of custom code were required to reach the functionality specified and he delivered all of them. He was patient, professional and technically competent through the entire process. I certainly would recommend Giles for any site development and will use him again when I need to extend the feature set on my site. Thanks Giles.

Possibly the UK's largest manufacturer of cast iron drainage products, used in both heritage buildings and modern developments, wanted an easy to access online catalogue site. Like many manufacturers the range of products and variations didn't immediately fit with WooCommerce’s standard structure. Working closely with the designers I came up with a solution that had the client's approval.
