Financial services
A decade around professional organisations, customers, operations, regulated work and details that matter.
Hello, I’m Gavin
I build things
that make sense.
I’m an independent web designer and developer based in Longford, Ireland—working with businesses locally, across Ireland and further afield. My route here runs through business, processes, automation, data and software—which turns out to be useful when you’re building websites for actual businesses.
The through-line
Business → processes → automation → data → systems → websites.
Small business
Bookkeeping, administration, consultancy and seeing where everyday work becomes unnecessarily difficult.
Processes
Understanding how work moves through a business and where a simpler system can make a meaningful difference.
Automation
Using technology to reduce repetitive work and turn good processes into dependable ones.
Data & models
Large datasets, machine-learning models, automated pipelines and professional analysis in the racing industry.
Web development
Combining technical capability, commercial understanding and creative decisions in something tangible.
Why that matters
I understand the website is not the business.
Most business owners do not want a lecture about frameworks. They want someone to understand what they are trying to achieve, communicate clearly, make good decisions and get the work done.
I think about the person arriving on the site. What do they need to understand? What would make them trust this business? What is the useful next step? What genuinely needs to be built—and what can stay simple?
That is where the broader background helps. A website is a piece of design and technology, but it is also part of how a business explains itself, wins trust and turns interest into action.
Scotland → Ireland
Originally from Scotland and now living and working in Ireland.
Two dogs included
Life outside work includes my partner, our dogs and getting outdoors to explore Ireland and Scotland.
Always building
Technology, learning and the satisfaction of making something useful from nothing.
Working together
One point of contact. The person in the conversation is the person building the site.
No account manager and no layers to pass a brief through. You work directly with me from the first conversation to launch.
If something is unnecessary, I’ll say so. If a simpler established service is the right answer, I’ll recommend it.
Enough about me
