What I can help with

Good on the outside.
Useful on the inside.

A clear front door for your customers. A better way to manage what happens behind it.

first impression.

A straightforward, well-built website that explains what you do and makes it easy for the right customers to get in touch.

Individually quoted around what you need.

the spreadsheets?

Built, maintained and improved together.

Already have a system?
Let’s make it work harder.

Sometimes the answer is a better connection between the tools you already use. I can look at the repetitive admin, disconnected data or awkward steps and help work out a practical next move.

Tell me where things get stuck ↗

A developer in your corner

A working relationship.
Not just a handover.

Your business keeps moving after the first version goes live. A monthly partnership gives us a way to build the system, look after it and develop it as your needs change.

  1. 01

    Understand the real problem

    We talk through your business, the sticking points and what would make a useful difference.

  2. 02

    Build a useful first version

    We agree the scope and priorities, then build around the work that matters most.

  3. 03

    Keep improving it together

    Use it, get feedback and plan the next improvements within our agreed monthly work.

The person behind Dragon Design

You talk to me.
I build it.

AndrewDragon Design & Development

I’m a hands-on developer with experience building business portals, custom software and integrations. I enjoy finding a practical answer to a business problem—and making it work properly.

My experience spans a wide range of businesses, so I can relate to the pressures behind a project as well as its technical requirements. I want to understand how your business works, where time gets lost and what your team needs to do its job.

You deal with the person doing the work. We can talk through the details in plain English, decide what’s worth building and keep the project focused on what you need.

I can talk you through relevant work and examples when we discuss your project.

A practical use of AI

Modern tools. More value from your budget.

I use AI-assisted development and automation where they make a practical difference—reducing repetitive work and helping me build and improve systems efficiently. That means more of the agreed development time can go into solving the problems that matter to your business.

I remain responsible for the design, review and testing, with decisions grounded in what your business needs.

Practical before complicated.

Start with what makes the biggest difference. Add complexity when it earns its place.

Built with you.

You know your business. I bring the technical experience. The best results use both.

Someone who knows the system.

A continuing relationship means less explaining everything again when you need a change.

A few useful answers

Before we
get started.

I just need a small website. Is that OK?

Absolutely. A clear, useful website can be a small project. We’ll discuss the pages, content and features you need, then I’ll quote for that work separately.

Does £660 cover any size of system?

No. It’s a typical monthly arrangement, not an unlimited development package. The initial build, ongoing capacity and term need to make sense for both of us. We’ll agree those before work starts.

Can you work with our existing software?

Often, yes. I’ll first look at what you use, the access available and whether it has an API or other integration options. Then we can decide whether to connect it, improve it or build something alongside it.

What if we want to leave the monthly arrangement?

We’ll agree the notice period, software ownership, data export and handover arrangements in writing before starting, so you understand your options from the outset.

Do I need a technical brief?

No. Tell me what your business does and which part of the day is harder than it should be. A spreadsheet, a rough idea or a walkthrough of your current process is a useful starting point.

Start with a conversation

What could work
better for you?

A new website, a repetitive task or an idea for a system. Tell me a little about it and we’ll work out a sensible next step.
