The person behind your website, and beside it.
AdamTheDev is my founder-led digital studio. When you work with the studio, you work with me: Adam Jones, Founder.
Ten years of building for the web, now focused on helping businesses grow with it.
I've spent more than a decade designing, building and improving websites and digital products. Along the way I've worked with teams at billion-pound companies such as Sky and McLaren, with the NHS, with creative agencies, and with a long list of smaller independent businesses.
What I noticed again and again was how many businesses were let down after launch. A website would be built, handed over and left while the business moved on, search rankings slipped and small problems quietly grew.
I started AdamTheDev to do it differently. I combine development, SEO and ongoing support so the website you invest in keeps improving, and you always have someone experienced to call.
Technical depth, with a clear eye on commercial results.
A technical development background
A decade of building websites and products in modern frameworks and WordPress, so your website is built properly, and fixed properly when something goes wrong.
SEO and digital growth
Technical SEO, content and search strategy, approached by someone who understands exactly what's happening under the bonnet of your site.
Big-organisation standards
Experience with billion-pound companies such as Sky and McLaren, and with leading agencies, brings rigour around performance, accessibility and maintainable code.
Independent business experience
I've also spent years working with small, owner-run businesses, so I understand budgets, priorities and the need for work to pay its way.
Kind words from colleagues and clients.
Recommendations from people I worked with before the studio: engineers, designers, managers and the clients we built for.
One of the best developers we've worked with. Quick and accurate work. Great problem solver. He's our go-to dev for Rugby Warfare & Turtle Method.
Scott FlearFounder, ParrotPal
Adam was a great hire. We were looking to bring someone in with a good feel for contemporary web design together with the front end technical skills needed to bring ideas alive. Someone to build our team around. Adam brought passion and enthusiasm to every task. A cheerful personality allowed Adam to fit in effortlessly. A clear communicator with a steady head, we had no hesitation in pulling Adam into meetings with senior stakeholders. I was also impressed by Adam's ability and dedication to mastering techniques and technologies which were new to him. Recommended.
Robert DonkinLine manager
I'd recommend Adam to anyone in a heartbeat! He's one of the most patient, creative and capable web developers I've worked with. Not only does he work hard to perfect the job at hand, but he also goes an extra mile to give me extra recommendations, which is not a requirement. Simply amazing!

I've worked with Adam on numerous projects. He is highly proficient in frontend and backend development and his project management skills has ensured we've always completed the project well before the deadline.
Benjamin IronsSenior Creative Designer, Accord Marketing
If you need someone who'll actually listen to what you want and then build it properly, Adam is your guy. I worked with him at Somerset Design, where he handled everything from client meetings and design through to coding in PHP, JavaScript, HTML and CSS. He's meticulous, quick to learn and a pleasure to work with.

From personal experience, I definitely recommend Adam Jones's skills as a front end engineer working in React, using both JavaScript and TypeScript. While his skills are broader, he is amazingly effective in close collaboration with UI designers.
Mark Van HarmelenCTO, Medify
Adam is sharp, pragmatic and talented developer, with a keen eye for detail on both frontend and backend implementations.
In addition, Adam has a keen eye for design, taking the initiative to update and implement designs accordingly to business requirements.
Wayne AnsteyColleague at Somerset Design
The hardest working and most knowledgeable developer in his field. Single handedly managed large complex websites and brought to the company a new innovative approach to web development. A great guy in and out the office, and somebody any client would dream to work with. There's nothing this guy can't do!
Harry IronsBrand Designer
Having worked with Adam for eight months, I must say he is an excellent developer. He helped me during the development of the Medify tools and components library, using Next.js with TypeScript. I am impressed by his work ethic and communication skills. He is very skilled with React and precise with CSS. At all times Adam proved to be a highly collaborative and friendly team member who of his own volition contributed to the technical development of his colleagues.
Joao Paulo MarraStaff Mobile Engineer
Great professional, a joy to work with and knows how to get a job done.
Max HopkinsSenior Software Developer, Vantage Cloud
Personal service is the whole point.
There's no fictional team behind AdamTheDev. You'll always have one accountable person who knows your website and your business.
You'll always know who's doing the work
Me. There's no hand-off to a junior team after the sales call.
Honest advice, even when it's less work
If something isn't worth your money, I'll tell you. Long relationships depend on it.
Your goals set the priorities
Websites are a means to an end. The work is planned around what your business needs from it.
Small number of clients, properly looked after
I deliberately keep my client list focused so everyone gets genuine attention.
I'd like to hear about your business.
Tell me a little about your business and what you need: a new website, better visibility on Google, or someone reliable to look after things. I'll reply personally.
