One developer. Forty years’ combined experience.
I'm Graham Gough, a Derby-based web developer, programmer and former further education lecturer in Computer Science with many years of relevant industry experience. I design and build both the visible pages and the behind-the-scenes systems, then launch bespoke websites directly with clients, without agencies or template churn.
Straightforward websites
built with care
No project is too small. A website can begin modestly and grow over time, from a clear first version to a more complex design with user interaction, private areas, booking tools or bespoke functionality.
I work directly with clients to understand their goals and create websites shaped around real needs, not pre-made templates. From design and coding to hosting, domains and deployment, everything stays in one place.
