GOT SOMETHING
YOU'RE TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT?

Ideas, businesses, products and technology can all get tangled. The useful work is finding the right shape, then doing something about it.

In practice that means four things: digital strategy, website design and development, AI and automation, and ongoing support. I work from Newquay, Cornwall, mostly online, with clients across the UK.

Three ways in

FIRST,
THE RIGHT SHAPE.

Most work arrives as a symptom: a website that is not pulling its weight, a decision that will not settle, a process that eats afternoons. The first job is working out which of the three routes below it actually belongs to.

  1. Figure something out
  2. Make something
  3. Work together

FIGURE
SOMETHING OUT

Make sense of the problem, the opportunity and what is actually worth doing next.

What usually arrives this way

  • An idea that has been going round for a while without getting sharper
  • A business doing plenty of things, none of which clearly move it forward
  • A product decision nobody can settle because the question is the wrong shape
  • A pile of tools and processes that were each sensible on their own

You leave knowing what to do first, what to stop, and what to safely ignore.

Digital strategy

MAKE
SOMETHING

Turn the useful idea into a working product, website, system or practical piece of communication.

What usually arrives this way

  • A website that looks fine and does not bring the right work in
  • A product that exists as a description and needs to become a real thing
  • Repetitive work that should be a system rather than somebody's afternoon
  • A brand and a presence that need to say the same thing as each other

You get the actual artefact, built and working, not a specification for one.

Website designAI & automation

WORK
TOGETHER

Stay involved where a longer collaboration is the best way to make progress.

What usually arrives this way

  • Ongoing decisions that benefit from someone who already has the context
  • A small team that needs focused delivery without agency overhead
  • A founder who wants momentum to become normal rather than occasional

Progress keeps happening between the big moments, not only during them.

Ongoing support
Fixed price, fixed time

What it is actually like

YOU GET ME.
NOT A PROCESS.

Illustration: The listening comes before the recommendation.

You are talking to the person doing the work. There is no account manager in the middle and nothing gets handed to somebody junior once the interesting part is over.

Expect direct answers, including when the honest answer is that the thing you asked for is not the thing that will help. That is usually the most valuable part of the first conversation.

Scope is agreed in plain language before anything starts, and it is allowed to change when the work teaches us something. A small number of clients at a time is the point, not a limitation.

My own experiments, too

Why I Built Music Kite Connect

A pass is only useful when it connects identity, place and permission without turning the whole product into a ticketing system.

The Jargon Laundry

Paste your website copy and it marks every phrase you share with ten thousand other websites, then scores how dirty the wash was.

The Gig Is Everywhere and Nowhere

A live event can exist on six platforms and still be hard to find. Music Kite is an attempt to make the scattered fragments agree.

Already published, still true

WHAT CLIENTS SAID

We've won a significant amount of new business as a direct result of the work. Tim has been amazing — we've been working together for over six months and the results have been impressive.

What surprised me most was Tim's ability to quickly articulate ideas I'd had bouncing around in my head for years. His insight and advice still surface in my thinking every day.
