Web & application development
Websites, shops and internal systems built on PHP/Laravel and JavaScript. WordPress, October CMS or Shopify where a CMS earns its place — and custom where it does not.

Firas Jaafar
Senior Web Developer
I build websites, shops and systems that stop being a problem after launch.
What I do
Four areas that belong together
CRM & process systems
Tools that shorten the working day: enquiries, quotes, tasks and customer data in one place, with automated steps instead of a chain of spreadsheets.
Infrastructure, APIs & performance
REST APIs, hosting, DNS and Cloudflare, load times and Search Console. A project is not finished at launch — it is finished when it runs quietly in production.
Design & UI/UX
I design interfaces before I build them, in Figma or Adobe XD. Ten years of print and signage work first taught me that design has a job to do; it is not decoration.
