Craft CMS support for Leeds businesses and agencies
Craft CMS developer for Leeds businesses and agencies
I am a senior Craft CMS developer with 25 years on content sites, working remotely with Leeds clients. I rescue, upgrade, speed up and look after Craft sites that other people built. Leeds agencies get the same help white-label. Your site gets a look first, then a fixed price for the fix.

Craft CMS work for Leeds businesses
Leeds has a large business and agency scene, strong in finance, professional services and the creative trades. Many of these firms run Craft CMS, because it suits structured content and busy editors. When the first developer moves on, the site needs a senior pair of hands.
You may have searched for a Craft CMS development agency in Leeds or Yorkshire. Often one senior developer is all the job needs. I work with Leeds clients remotely, through copies of the site, version control and short calls at agreed times. Version control keeps a record of every change to the code.
What I work on with Leeds Craft clients
- Craft CMS rescue and takeover Check, write down and steady an inherited Craft site. Most jobs start here. You get a written note you can act on.
- Craft 3 and 4 to Craft 5 migration A planned move to the current version, fully tested on a copy first. Plugins swapped where needed, old code updated and the editor checked so nothing your team uses breaks.
- White-label for Leeds agencies Senior Craft help for Leeds design and brand agencies. White-label means the work happens in your tools and goes out under your name.
- Speed fixes Slow database calls, caching, images and hosting set-up. I find the cause first and measure the result.
- Plugin and module fixes When a plugin breaks or no longer fits how your team works. I repair it or write a small replacement that follows Craft's own rules.
- Monthly Craft care Updates tested on a copy, security checks and time for small changes each month. For Leeds clients who cannot afford to let their Craft site slide.
Working with Leeds agencies
Leeds agencies range from large independents to small specialist studios. The most common request I get from them is overflow. Usually the agency has good designers and a project manager, but no senior back-end developer who knows Craft. I fill that gap, one job at a time.
The second common request is upgrade work. Craft 3 stopped getting security fixes in April 2024, and Craft 4 in April 2026. Agencies with client sites still on those versions need someone to plan and run the upgrade without upsetting the client. I do that quietly and on the agency's timeline.
Case study
A hacked Craft CMS site, cleaned in two days
A family mediation service had spam pages on their Craft site. Visitors could not see them, but Google could. The spam came out, every way in was closed and the site moved to safer hosting.

Common questions from Leeds Craft clients
Our Craft site needs migrating but we are worried about downtime. What is the plan?
The move runs on a copy of the site first and is fully tested there. Going live is planned for a quiet time, with a way to roll back if needed. Most moves have less than fifteen minutes of real downtime, and many have none.
How do we work together remotely?
Code changes go through your code store and go live through your usual process. If there is none yet, I set one up. Short calls are booked ahead, and I am on Slack or your chosen tool during agreed hours. Nobody needs to travel.
Can you help us assess a Craft site we are thinking of taking on as a new client?
Yes. A first look shows your agency exactly what it would inherit. For most sites it is done within a few days. You get a note you can turn into a proposal for the new client.
Do you offer fixed-price work?
Yes. Every fix is a fixed price per job, quoted after a look at the site. Monthly care is quoted for your site once I have seen it. Either way, you get the price in writing before any work starts.
Where else I work
I work as a Craft CMS developer across the UK, from Leicester, with Craft CMS agencies and businesses all over the country. I also work with Craft clients in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. For monthly care, see Craft CMS support and maintenance.
