Real projects and real businesses

Many portfolio websites show mock-up projects that were never used in the real world.

Everything featured here is based on real businesses, real customers and practical digital challenges — website projects across Somerset, business systems and business automation built from Frome by a Somerset-based developer you can talk to directly.

Pattern Repeat Studio — fabric pattern tile editor with colourways and product mockups

Design Tool & Textile Software

Pattern Repeat Studio

A client needed a dedicated pattern repeat studio for fabric design — something more focused than generic image editors, built around how textile designers actually work. Pattern Repeat Studio centres on a tile-based canvas where artwork is imported, scaled, rotated and aligned within a repeatable square, with snap-to-edge, snap-to-centre and grid snapping to keep repeats clean. Magic tools generate colourways from a single design, fill empty tile space automatically, and apply organic variation with adjustable intensity and seed values for natural-looking repeats. Designers can organise work into collections, run quick seam checks, then preview patterns on cushions, bedding, curtains, throws, towels, tablecloths, napkins and mugs — with pattern scale control — before exporting PNGs or publishing a full download pack.

Dub Chord Engine delivers real-time chord control, layering and tonal shaping designed around how electronic music is actually written: fast iteration, heavy bass lines and creative sound design during the production process, not as an afterthought.

Sound familiar?

What clients usually come to me with

If any of these sound like conversations you've had — in your head or out loud — you're in the right place.

  • “My website looks outdated.”

  • “We keep missing enquiries.”

  • “We need online booking.”

  • “I've got a spreadsheet that is becoming a nightmare.”

  • “We need something more than a website.”

  • “I know what the problem is, but I don't know the technical solution.”

Typical conversations I have — no judgement, just practical help figuring out the next step.
