Building and maintaining digital publishing experiences, WordPress websites, and responsive front-end interfaces.

Deliberately layered: archive pieces show where I started; programme demos show WordPress programme depth; the portfolio shell and local preview/audit tooling show how I build and verify work today — with me setting scope and sign-off, not unattended generation.
Current standard
Portfolio shell, Projects · Preview · Storage, and active builds I still extend — <strong>Perception</strong> in current focus; <strong>Atlas Ops</strong> and WordPress programme demos below. Responsive layout, accessibility checks, and regression on key routes when UI changes.
Programme demo
WordPress programme sites — MSR Products (WooCommerce), Events hub, Awards, Seminars, and Atlas Briefing publishing. Vite-built themes and ACF patterns kept as honest snapshots. Smoke-tested routes; companion SPAs where noted.
Archive
Earlier student and side builds (movie API, games, early salon site). Left visible to show progression — as-shipped snapshots, not retrofitted to today’s bar.
I use AI-assisted editing and audit tooling in my local workflow. Scope, copy, acceptance checks, and deploy stay with me — nothing ships on a green automated check alone.
Programme sites are portfolio demonstrations — not live companies. This strip compares what stays light on demos versus what I would enable on a real client site (protection, backups, SEO, consent) — plus how craft and QA differ by lane (see labels above).
| Capability | Demo (now) | Live client (would enable) | Craft / QA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front-end craft & regression | Programme demos: smoke-tested routes; honest snapshot of the build era | Client cadence: regression after UI edits; staging sign-off before release | Current portfolio lane: responsive + accessibility review on change; programme lane: smoke unless unparked |
| Cloudflare CDN + WAF | Hostinger DNS as shipped; Cloudflare proxy not claimed until owner confirms | Cloudflare Free proxy on web A/AAAA · Full (Strict) SSL · MX/TXT DNS-only | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| Hostinger updates / Patchstack | Hostinger Security on plan; Patchstack if offered — verify in hPanel | Smart auto-updates ≥ security · Patchstack where available | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| Admin 2FA | Not showcased as enabled on demonstration admins | 2FA on Super Admin / admin accounts (Events network especially) | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| Off-site backups | Products has UpdraftPlus; confirm Events + Publishing off-site | Scheduled off-site backups for every install | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| Search Console + sitemap | Not chasing demand-gen SEO on thin demo properties | GSC property + XML sitemap for the real client domain | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| One SEO plugin | No SEO stack for growth theatre | Rank Math or Yoast on Publishing — not both | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| Consent / analytics | No fake analytics, GBP, or paid growth tooling | Honest consent banner + analytics only when the client needs them | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |
| Products: Turnstile + PCI gateway | WooCommerce showcase; checkout not treated as live commerce | Cloudflare Turnstile on public checkout · PCI-ready payment gateway | Infrastructure choice — independent of UI lane labels |

Websites I worked on — brand and publishing sites from current and agency roles
I was Michael’s supervisor and line manager during his time with the Development Team at Mark Allen Group. He joined us in November 2018. He was furloughed (like many of us) from March 2020 until the furlough scheme came to an end in October. At that point several members of the team (myself included) were either made redundant or were found other roles within the Group. It is by no means any reflection on Mike or his abilities that he is now seeking another position. Mike is a determined and conscientious individual. He has worked hard at his own expense and in his own time to qualify as a developer. He has continued to study and improve his skillset while with us, and I know that he completed several online courses during lockdown. When dealing with support requests via our internal helpdesk Mike was unfailingly polite and patient with a good instinct for problem-solving.
When involved in building new sites he would carefully plan any task assigned to him, taking into account any scheduling requirements and asking for assistance from more experienced colleagues if necessary. He wasn’t afraid to put forward his own suggestions if he thought there might be a better way to accomplish a task either. Despite a difficult commute (our offices are miles from the nearest station), Mike was always punctual and reliable, and happy to put in extra hours with the rest of the team when there was a deadline to meet. Easy-going and cheerful, he was a popular member of the team and we were all sad to see him go. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike to you.
Michael was a massive benefit to me in the stage that I was at. He showed genuine interest in my project from the start and an eagerness to try new things. He is good at problem solving which was important since I, without programming knowledge had very clear had bold expectations of his work without knowing the skill required.
He was also very accommodating when I asked him to work outside of his field of expertise to help me complete the backend data requirements ontop of customising and launching a fully functioning webstore, including liaising professionally with the platform company techs to install plug-ins and add code where they would have charged additional fees for doing the work. He's a good all rounder and proved an excellent intern. I think he would excel under another programmers instruction and I'm happy to discuss my experience in greater detail by phone or email.
Throughout the 3 months that Mr. Reeves was working with us, he was a self-starter and knew how to follow instructions well, while also being able to take initiative as needed. In addition to having good judgment and communication skills and a high degree of integrity, Mr. Reeves was also interested in further learning about game testing, which he demonstrated by asking in-depth questions whenever he had concerns or would require guidance to ensure he was doing the right thing.
I am certain that the period he worked for us was an excellent experience that contributed well to his learning and professional development. That being said, Mr. Michael Reeves would be an asset to your organisation, and he has my recommendation. Should you have further questions regarding his qualifications, please feel free to contact me.
