I'm Steve French. I design and build websites and apps, and I help businesses make their products better, whether they live on a screen or in someone's hands.
// services
Bespoke, hand-coded marketing sites and corporate websites — pixel-precise, responsive on every screen and built to convert.
The Lighthouse targets every build is tuned towards.
Dashboards, portals and SaaS products with clean APIs, solid data models and interfaces people enjoy using.
Core Web Vitals audits, rebuilds and technical SEO that move you up the rankings and keep visitors on the page.
Logos, visual systems and digital brand guidelines that look sharp from favicon to billboard.
Deployment pipelines, secure hosting, monitoring and ongoing support so your site stays fast and online.
// product consulting
Digital or physical: show me a product and I'll help you make it better. I'll test it properly, show you exactly what's holding it back, and help you fix it, from the first impression right down to the technical details.
A clear-eyed walkthrough of your product as a customer sees it: onboarding, key journeys, copy, accessibility and the moments people give up.
Test plans, exploratory and regression testing across real devices and browsers, with clear bug reports your developers can act on straight away.
Hands-on testing of real-world products: unboxing, set-up, ergonomics, instructions, durability and packaging, with clear fixes before you go to manufacture or market.
Prioritised recommendations and roadmaps that focus effort where it moves the needle: conversion, retention, support load and customer satisfaction.
Honest advice on platforms, performance, architecture, integrations and suppliers, translated into plain English for the people making decisions.
// sector experience
Venues where the game is the product. I know how the tech, the booking journey and the in-venue guest experience have to work together on a busy night.
Shows and events where there's no second take. Products have to be reliable under pressure, from ticketing and the run of show to the audience experience.
One-off
A focused review of your site, app or physical product with a written report: what's broken, what's confusing and what to fix first.
Project
Hands-on testing before a launch, release or production run, covering devices, real-world use and customer journeys, with every issue logged and retested.
Ongoing
Regular check-ins, testing and improvement planning, like having an experienced product person on your team without the full-time hire.
// featured application · new
Cuemark is a desktop app for theatre stage managers. Open the script as a PDF, drop cues exactly where they fire, and the cue sheet builds itself. Then call the show from the same book, on a laptop in the booth, with no internet connection needed.
// web design & build · selected clients
// process
We map your goals, your audience and the outcomes the project has to deliver.
Wireframes and high-fidelity designs you can click through before any code is written.
Clean, tested, version-controlled code with preview links at every milestone.
Launch on fast, secure infrastructure — then measure, iterate and improve.
// about
I've spent years testing and working on all kinds of products, digital and physical, so I look at yours the way your customers do: where it confuses, where it breaks, where it leaks sales. Then I can fix it myself. Working directly with me means the person who reviews your product is the person who builds the improvements. No account managers, no lost context.
