Portrait of P. Barrett, frontend developer

Websites built to bring in customers — not just look good

For UK small businesses, creatives, and service brands

I design and build fast, modern websites for UK businesses that want clearer messaging, better performance, and more enquiries.

From small business sites to custom React builds, everything is designed to be reliable, scalable, and easy to maintain.

See real builds by sector (vets, glamping, trades, venues, and more) on websites for different industries — live previews and links you can open in a new tab.

Recent work

Here are a few recent websites I've designed and built for UK businesses and creatives.

Each project is focused on clarity, speed, and making it easy for visitors to take action — whether that's getting in touch, booking, or exploring services.

For more examples by industry (vets, glamping, trades, venues, photography, and more), each with a live preview and link to the real site — see the full sector page.

About Me

My academic background includes master’s degrees in biomedical science and science communication. Training in research, teaching, and analysis helps me bridge the gap between technical builds and human-centered design. I’ve transitioned from academia and biology tutoring to developing websites that are intuitive, accessible, and tailored to each client’s message.

  • Custom design tailored to your brand
  • Mobile-first, responsive development
  • SEO-ready builds for better visibility

About me

More than a portfolio — proof by industry

The best place to see proof by sector is websites for different industries— real UK client builds (vets, glamping, trades, venues, photography, and more) with live previews and links, so you can judge structure, speed, and how each site drives action.

I work as a freelance frontend developer and web designer, building marketing sites and lightweight web apps for clients who need a dependable online presence. Projects are typically built with React, semantic HTML, and Tailwind CSS, with performance and accessibility kept in mind from the start.

If you are searching for a React developer portfolio with real client work, use the industry page for grouped examples, then the full portfolio grid. I am based in the UK and work with clients remotely; timelines and scope are agreed up front.

For freelance web development services, see services or the guides: web development services UK, freelance web developer UK, and React developer UK. I will reply with a clear next step — short call, fixed quote, or phased plan.
