Client-side ownership of platform, delivery, agencies and budgets, across WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento and Adobe Commerce. Ongoing support as you grow, with agreed authority, priorities and review points.
From £3,600 a month for a day a week, or £6,800 for two
Talk through your situationYou may need experienced delivery support while a role is being recruited, during a period of change, or as your builds and agency spend grow. Beyond the direct builds I target at around £50,000, the role can move into technical delivery leadership on your side. It can also start earlier when the complexity or supplier involvement calls for it.
Clear responsibilities and agreed decisions.
I take ownership of the platform roadmap, delivery commitments, agency management, and the commercial picture. Before starting, we agree what I decide, what I recommend, and what happens when I am not in the room.
For Magento and Adobe Commerce clients, the recurring agency spend can be substantial. In my agency experience, builds of £80,000 or more were often followed by retainers of 60–200 hours a month. The need is to connect those hours to the work the business actually needs.
I work with you and the agency to make maintenance visible, prioritise bugs and features, plan upgrades, and agree what the retainer will deliver. Larger projects get their own milestones and funding plan around the cash the business can commit.
My fee covers the agreed delivery-lead days. The agency’s implementation retainer and project fees are separate.

For PE-backed businessesDelivered while leading delivery inside digital agencies, on behalf of their clients. I ran it; I didn’t own the client relationship commercially. Clients aren’t named; I’m happy to talk through the detail.
For an international watch group: primary delivery contact across several concurrent Adobe Commerce sites, covering B2C, B2B, several regions and internal staff-facing instances. Engaged from product managers through to CFO level.
On a multi-region data alignment, my own team’s instinct was a custom build. I argued against it, took the bounded option and re-authorised each pass against an explicit cost gate. It landed on time.
I’ve set up acceptance-criteria-first delivery standards more than once, starting in the bug pipeline where rework was most visible, and writing the first criteria myself.

Let’s talkStart with the work you need now. As the business grows, I can keep the platform knowledge and roadmap with you, building directly where the scope fits and leading agencies when the programme needs a wider team.
Direct website, shop, portal and integration builds typically up to around £50,000, with the platform, scope and price agreed before work starts.

Support for growing businessesFor larger builds and ongoing agency programmes, fractional technical delivery leadership on your side: the brief, suppliers, retainer, budget, testing and roadmap owned together.
Fractional delivery leadershipAround £50,000 is a guide to the direct-build work I target. Complexity and specialist needs can call for an agency earlier, and delivery support can start at any growth stage. The approach applies across platforms; implementation scope is agreed for each project.
Tell me where things stand, what needs to change and any date you are working towards.
You might have a project to scope, systems that aren’t joining up, or a task that keeps taking too much time. You don’t need a finished brief to start a conversation.
A few lines about the situation, the people involved and what a useful result would look like are enough. I’ll come back to you personally with a practical next step.
