The work
Big Game Bikes sell bikes and eBikes direct to the public. For around a year, to October 2025, I looked after their ecommerce, working straight with Gareth, the director, rather than through anyone in between.
The engagement covered two storefronts, one on WooCommerce and one on Shopify. Both had to carry the same brand and the same route from landing on a page to paying for something, in two systems that do almost nothing the same way.
How it ran
This was not a build and a handover. It ran as a standing arrangement across the year, which for a shop is the shape that actually helps. Ranges move, stock moves, promotions come and go, and the site has to keep up without a fresh quote every time something changes.
That is the same way I work with the clients I still hold today. One person who already knows the site, reachable when something needs doing, rather than a rebuild every couple of years because nobody maintained the last one.
What clients say
In their words, not mine.
Aaron has been excellent to work with. His WordPress development skills are first class, with a strong understanding of both the technical side and the practical needs of a live e-commerce website. He works quickly, communicates clearly and, most importantly, knows how to diagnose and fix problems without making things unnecessarily complicated. We've used Aaron for a range of WordPress development work and I've always found him knowledgeable, reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an experienced WordPress developer.
Aaron built our website and now looks after the search side of it, and it's the first time anyone's shown us numbers that mean something. Enquiries from people searching for the coatings we actually do, rather than our name, have roughly doubled in six months. He built a page for exhaust ceramic coating that ranks on its own, and every month we get a short report in plain English saying what changed and why. Straightforward to deal with, and he tells us when something isn't worth doing.
Aaron built our online shop from scratch and it was the first time the brand actually looked like us online. Every pair we sell is a one off and he built the shop around that, so people find the right size and condition quickly. He handled design and build end to end, sorted the pricing and VAT properly, and I can add new pairs and update the site myself without going back to him every time.
We use Aaron for development we would rather not hand to a junior. The work comes back the way it was specced, on the date he said, and it goes out under our name without us having to check it twice.
