I’m Myles Beardsmore, a web developer based in New Zealand.
I love to help businesses reach their goals, be it by building a fast and SEO friendly website or a custom app to automate time consuming tasks. My curiosity and eagerness to learn means I'm always at the forefront of new technologies and best practices.
I specialise in developing websites using Headless architecture. It's something I'm passionate about and love sharing my knowledge with others. If you're interested in finding out how it can help your business let's grab a coffee.
Developing modern online experiences after hours
Helping startups, small businesses and entrepreneurs build online stores, marketing websites and more!
Online Stores / Ecommerce
Performance drives revenue. I develop performant online stores optimised for conversion using Shopify as my preferred platform. I can build custom themes, bespoke apps as well as headless stores using Shopify Hydrogen.
Marketing Websites
I create websites that are secure, affordable to maintain, and are optimized for SEO, using platforms like Storyblok. Managing content has never been easier.
Applications / Products
Need something more custom? I can build applications or products using well known technologies that meet your unique business requirements.
Taking a pragmatic approach to ensure consistency and efficiency.
A flat project fee after agreeing on a detailed scope and timeline is charged with engagements typically costing between $5,000 to $30,000. Timelines vary based on availability and complexity.
Discovery meeting
A call or coffee to familiarise myself with your mission, challenges and objectives. This phase also provides an opportunity for us to get acquainted and set expectations for process and collaboration. A detailed scope of work and timeline will be provided after this meeting.
An upfront payment of 50% is required before work commences.
Development
This is when the magic happens. Your project is transformed into a performant, modern and accessible digital experience. If a CMS is required work will be done to ensure content is easily editable using one of my preferred headless CMS like Storyblok.
Concurrently, we put the website through a rigorous QA process both internally and with your team to ensure that the site is ready.
Launch
It's launch day. Prior to launch I'll work with you to finalise all content in the CMS. This includes a training session to ensure you're comfortable with the platform. Once approved the project will be deployed to production!
Once the confetti has cleared the final progress payment is sent.
