Senior Craft CMS expertise without the London overhead
London has a lot of digital agencies that look after Craft CMS sites. Senior Craft skills are hard to find and cost a premium. Many agencies that sell Craft work pass the technical side to someone else anyway.
I am a senior developer based in Leicester. London clients work with me through copies of their site, version control and screen share. Version control keeps a record of every change to the code. You get real Craft CMS depth without the London rate card.
What I work on with London Craft CMS clients
- Craft CMS rescue and takeover Your last developer has gone. The code gets checked and written down before anything changes. No guesses about what they did.
- Speed fixes Slow news and product lists are the usual problem. Each page asks the database the same question hundreds of times. Fix that, then measure the result.
- Content modelling This is how fields and entry types are set up in the control panel. They should suit how editors really use the site.
- Matrix and field layouts Matrix is the Craft field that lets editors stack blocks of content. It is powerful but easy to overdo. Messy fields and blocks get tidied.
- Ongoing maintenance Craft and its plugins change often. Updates are tested on a copy first, so the live site stays safe.
- White-label help for agencies White-label means your agency puts its name on what I do. The client stays yours.
How I work with London agencies on Craft projects
London agencies often need senior Craft CMS help for overflow or a client site that needs rescuing. A full-time hire for that is costly and hard to justify. A white-label setup is more practical.
Slack, Basecamp, Jira or whatever you use, I join your tools. I follow your process and hand over with clear notes. The client sees your agency, not me.
Most of these partnerships start with one job, such as a rescue or an upgrade. Once we know each other, it usually carries on.
Case study
A hacked Craft CMS site in London, cleaned in two days
A South East London 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.
Read the case studyOur Craft site was built by someone who did not understand the platform. Editors hated using it. Billy restructured the content model and now updating the site is actually pleasant.

Common questions from London clients
Why use a remote Craft CMS developer instead of someone based in London?
Craft work does not need anyone in the room. It happens on copies of the site and in shared code. Calls happen in working hours, in the tools you already use. The difference is cost, because London Craft developers are expensive and often split across several agencies.
Do you work white-label for agencies?
Yes. I do the work and your agency presents it. I follow the process you already have and never contact your clients directly. Most agencies hand me single jobs or monthly care for a client site.
What kinds of Craft CMS problems do you fix?
Most often it is slow list pages, entry types that have grown messy and plugins that break after a Craft upgrade. Confused editors are another, caused by badly planned field layouts. Each one has a cause I can find and fix.
Can you take over a Craft site someone else built?
Yes. The site gets checked first, and what I find is written down before anything changes. This lowers the risk of new problems while old ones get fixed. Most takeovers also need some tidying of templates and slow database calls.
