Bespoke Laravel and PHP Systems Built Properly

I’m James O'Dowd, a UK-based PHP/Laravel developer with over 25 years of experience building clean, efficient, logic-driven websites and systems.

From bespoke CMS builds to legacy PHP migrations, I create scalable platforms without bloated themes or unnecessary overhead.

If you need a Laravel platform, admin dashboard, or custom rebuild for your business, you're in the right place.
