Web Development · Based in Sheffield, UK
Websites that
get the job done.
Or at least, websites that look like they will.
I'm Andy Hoyland. I build fast, accessible websites and Laravel systems for people with real problems to solve. I work with a mixture of genuine skill, hard-won experience, and - increasingly - AI tools. I describe this as a "workflow."
A bit
about me
I've been building websites, and writing code, for quite a long time.
These days I work with a healthy mix of proper engineering and what the industry has started calling "vibe coding" - where I describe what you want to a LLMMost people would call it AI until something looks and works as required. I'm pretty good at this. The important thing is the code works and the client is happy.
Web development has changed quite a lot recently, as Claude is really rather good at listening and at coding. What hasn't changed is the goal: something fast, accessible, and that your users can actually use without phoning you.
What I do
-
Favourite
Laravel Systems
You need a thing that actually does something. A portal, a dashboard, a bespoke system that runs part of your business and saves you three hours a week. That's my favourite kind of project. Let's build it properly.

Landing Pages & Sites
Fast, clean, accessible. Built with Astro so the Lighthouse score is embarrassingly good and I get to feel smug about it. No unnecessary JavaScript. No bloat. No excuses.

The Full Thing
You've got an idea, a rough budget, and a vague but exciting PowerPoint. I've got opinions, coffee, and a suspicion we can build it for less than you've been quoted. Let's find out together.

WordPress
I know how. I've done it more times than I'd like to admit. The themes, the plugins, the settings, the updates that break everything. I'd prefer not to, but if you ask nicely, explain why it has to be WordPress, and the budget is right, we'll get on with it.
