- From Brief to Storefront: A Portable AI Workflow for Web Designers
I’ve been building for the web since 2000. I co-founded CSSIgniter and TrulyFinePixels. These days, I’m building Widgetizer for small business owners.
I joined a Nottingham agency as a junior web developer and worked on projects for the BBC, Lotus Cars, and L’Oréal.
I spent seven years freelancing, designing websites and turning Photoshop files into HTML and CSS.
I launched CSSIgniter with four premium themes. My first sale took a week. The buyer asked for a refund the next day.
After two rejections, a theme got accepted. It sold ten copies on its first day and stayed on the popular themes list for months. That gave me room to rebuild CSSIgniter.
I became an Elite Author on ThemeForest.
I became a theme partner with Automattic.
I launched TrulyFinePixels. My first theme went live on the Shopify Theme Store in July 2022. Our portfolio grew to include Athens, Maranello, and Tokyo.
By 2024, I’d served more than 150,000 customers across WordPress and Shopify.
I released the open source version of Widgetizer, a visual website builder that lets small business owners build websites.
