About

Nice to meet you,
I'm James.

I run Zerah, a name that means "to rise". That's exactly what I want your business to do once it has a website that actually pulls its weight.

My story

I got into web development the best way possible: building things people actually use. Since then I've helped small brands put their best foot forward online. Most recently I took a children's faith brand, Sparrow & Wonder, from an idea to a live online store that customers genuinely enjoy using.

I'm a UK-based developer specialising in modern, hand-built websites for businesses of every size, from small independent brands up to large businesses. No page-builder bloat, no thousand-plugin WordPress installs. Just fast, elegant sites built with current web technology, and the personal service you won't get from an agency hit-list.

What you can expect

How I like to work

Hand-coded, not templated

I write every site from scratch in clean, modern code. That means it loads fast, stays easy to maintain and is genuinely yours.

Clear communication, always

You should never feel lost while working with your developer. I keep things simple, explain decisions properly and always keep you in the loop.

Big on service, whatever your size

Fixed quotes, honest timelines and no upselling. I succeed when your website actually brings you customers.

Sound like a good fit?

I'd love to hear what you're building. It starts with a free, friendly chat.
