SilverStripe Developer
If you have an existing site that needs maintaining or a new site to build, I can help. I have extensive experience building and maintaining SilverStripe CMS websites for companies and government departments.
SilverStripe CMS
SilverStripe CMS is the intuitive content management system and flexible framework loved by editors and developers alike. Equip your web teams to achieve outstanding results.
Choose SilverStripe
- You need a custom, scalable CMS - Perfect for projects where off-the-shelf systems (like WordPress) don't offer enough flexibility.
- You want full control over content models and workflows - SilverStripe's framework makes it easy to tailor content structures and approval processes.
- You're building a long-term digital platform - Ideal for projects expected to evolve over time, not just a one-off website.
- You value security and stability - Backed by an enterprise-grade security team and strong versioning standards.
- You need integration with other systems - SilverStripe plays well with CRMs, APIs, and custom data sources.
- You want a great editing experience - The CMS is intuitive and can be customized to match your editors' exact needs.
- You have complex information architecture - Handles multi-level navigation, custom content types, and relational data gracefully.
- You want open-source flexibility with professional support - Combines the best of both worlds: community-driven code and a strong commercial ecosystem.
- You care about performance and maintainability - Built on a robust PHP framework (SilverStripe Framework) that encourages clean, testable code.

SilverStripe Projects
I've been working with SilverStripe since version 3 and some of those sites I'm still maintaining today, on version 6 and beyond.
