I solve expensive digital problems for growing businesses.
Increase sales. Automate manual work. Fix problematic digital projects.
Tell me the business problem. I work out what combination of technology, development and digital marketing will solve it — and then I help make it happen.

Start with the business problem
I work across technology, software development, digital marketing, analytics and project delivery, so I can start with the commercial problem rather than trying to fit it into a predetermined service.
I can identify where technology could save time or money, where your digital presence can generate more revenue, and where a difficult project needs clearer technical or delivery direction.
Ongoing senior support
Senior digital expertise without the cost of a full-time hire.
I can act as your part-time Digital Director: one experienced person helping you decide what matters, coordinate the work and keep your digital activity commercially focused.
This is for businesses that have ongoing digital needs but do not need — or cannot justify — a full-time senior digital hire. I can work directly with the owner or management team and alongside your existing developers, agencies and suppliers.
£750/month — Digital Advisor, up to 1 day
£1,400/month — Fractional Digital Director, up to 2 days
£2,600/month — Fractional Digital Director Plus, up to 4 days
Use the time for the highest-priority digital work each month rather than buying separate retainers for each discipline. Larger implementation projects and third-party costs are quoted separately.
Choose a clear starting point
Clear scope, clear deliverables and a known price before work starts. Open any service to see the full scope without disrupting the page layout.
A FOCUSED STARTING POINT
Practical first steps towards better online visibility.
For a new or existing website.
Advice and prepared files. Not a full SEO audit. Implementation is separate.*Delivery after payment and a complete brief.
Find out what is stopping your website and digital presence from generating more business.
Established businesses that know their website should generate more enquiries, customers or sales but are not sure where the biggest opportunity lies.
One website, one primary market, up to 500 indexable pages, one Analytics property and one Search Console property where available, plus up to three competitors.
Understand why competitors appear where your business doesn't — in Google and AI-driven discovery.
Businesses that depend on being discovered through search, research and recommendation journeys.
One domain, one primary country/language, up to 500 indexable URLs and up to three competitors.
Find repetitive or administrative work that technology could simplify or eliminate.
Businesses where staff repeatedly copy information, create reports, process orders, send routine communications or move data between systems.
One clearly defined business process. Complex legacy systems, undocumented integrations or multi-department programmes may require additional discovery.
Find out why a website, software or digital project is late, drifting or not delivering what the business needs.
Businesses dealing with delays, unclear requirements, difficult suppliers, technical disagreements, escalating costs or project drift.
Recommendations don't have to stop at a report
Where the technology and project are appropriate, I can make the agreed changes or build the solution directly.
If you already have developers or an agency, I provide clear technical specifications and acceptance criteria for them to implement.
I can coordinate specialists, answer implementation questions, test the work and confirm that the agreed outcome has actually been delivered.
You do not need to change technology suppliers just to work with me.
A repeatable way to improve
Start with a defined fixed-price review rather than an open-ended consultancy engagement.
Implement the highest-value actions directly, through your existing team, or under my oversight.
If ongoing improvement is useful, retain Fractional Digital Director support across growth, technology and digital delivery from £750/month.

Experience & client feedback
The project images and results above show selected delivery examples. The feedback below shows how clients and senior colleagues describe working with me.
“I have worked with Denis on more than one SEO project. I've always found him to be personable, resourceful, and always has time to explain things and 'think outside of the box' on your business issues. His skills in increasing website visibility and improving search result positioning are second to none.”Jill Jackling
“Denis... operates confidently and capably across the digital marketing space. Pro-active and solutions oriented, Denis is a pleasure to work with and a strong value add to any organisation.”Calum Sawford
“Marketchemica was undergoing a strategic change of direction. Denis was instrumental in aligning the IT capabilities with the intended strategic result. This is rare as most IT providers come up with cookie cutter solutions. Denis delivered the project on time, on specs and on budget.”Bogdan Comanita
Other organisations and brands I have worked with include adidas, Accor Hotels, TargetJobs, EyeForPharma / EyeForTravel, Steps4Europe, Petwell Vets, Futuresource Consulting and Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Who you are hiring
I'm a Reading-based technology and digital marketing specialist with 25+ years' experience across software development, digital growth, project management and commercial delivery.
That mix is useful when the problem crosses traditional agency or departmental boundaries — when an SEO problem is really a development problem, when a manual process needs software rather than more administration, or when a project needs both technical and commercial direction.
I work with digital agencies as well as direct business clients, and I have a network of contacts who can support larger delivery requirements.
Hands-on technical experience: C# · ASP.NET · JavaScript · SQL Server · APIs · databases · web applications · analytics · Windows/server infrastructure.
Best fit
Primarily established SMEs and lower mid-market businesses — often around 10–250 employees — where digital performance or operational inefficiency is commercially meaningful, but every specialist skill is not available in-house.
B2B services, ecommerce, distributors, manufacturers, training companies and other businesses where each new customer has meaningful value.
Companies with quoting, fulfilment, reporting, approvals, customer communication or other repeatable processes that may be suitable for automation.
Businesses using developers, agencies or technology vendors that need independent technical, marketing or project-delivery oversight.
Frequently asked questions
Published prices apply to the defined standard scope. Larger, multilingual, multi-domain, ecommerce or technically complex environments are scoped first and quoted at a fixed price before work starts. Fixed price means the scope and cost are agreed before delivery; it does not mean every possible environment costs the same.
Where appropriate I can implement changes directly. If your website or system uses a specialist or unfamiliar technology stack, I provide clear technical specifications and acceptance criteria to your existing developers or agency and can review and validate the completed work.
Yes. I can diagnose and specify what needs to change, work alongside your internal team or agency, manage implementation where needed and validate that the agreed work has been delivered correctly.
Tell me the business problem, the outcome you want and what is currently getting in the way. I'll recommend the most appropriate starting point rather than asking you to diagnose the technical solution yourself.
Book a convenient 30-minute introductory call to briefly discuss what you are trying to improve and whether I am the right person to help. There is no obligation and no sales presentation.
Even if I cannot help directly, I'll be glad to point you in the right direction.
