See your platform first.
Pay me later.

I'm Daniel King. Before you spend a penny, I'll give you a clear outline of your website, app or software: the pages, the features and how it all works. Happy with it? Then we build it, and you pay as it's delivered.

Why I work differently.

A quick hello: how the outline-first approach works, what makes my platforms different, and why you can trust me with your project.

The short version: you get a free outline first, you only go ahead if you love it, and you deal with me directly from start to finish.

"I'd rather show you what I can do than ask you to take my word for it. That's why the outline comes first."

Why you can trust me

No risk. No jargon.
No middlemen.

Hiring a developer can feel like a leap of faith. I've designed the way I work to take the risk off your shoulders.

01 · RISK-FREE

You see it first

Your free outline shows exactly what you'll get before you commit to anything.

02 · DIRECT

You deal with me

No account managers or outsourcing. The person you speak to is the person building your platform.

03 · CLEAR

Plain English

As a qualified teacher, I explain things simply, so you always know what's happening and why.

04 · FAIR

Agreed in writing

Every price and milestone is agreed upfront. No hidden costs, no surprise invoices.

Questions

Good to know.

Is the outline really free?

Yes. Your outline covers the pages, features and user journey of your platform, plus a clear quote. There's no charge and no obligation to go ahead.

When do I pay?

Only once you've seen your outline and decided to go ahead. Payments are split into agreed stages, and you pay as each part is delivered. Everything is agreed in writing before work starts.

What if I don't like the outline?

Then we tweak it, or you simply walk away. You're never locked in.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Absolutely. I work remotely with clients in the UK and worldwide, including Asia, and I'm happy to meet over video call at a time that suits you.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Cafés and hospitality, schools and education, service businesses and founders with a new app or software idea. If you're not sure whether I'm a fit, just ask.

Your free outline

Tell me your idea. I'll show you what it could be.
