Technical Consulting
Senior technical guidance for small businesses without full-time overhead. You get strategic direction on architecture, delivery, and prioritization so technical decisions support clear business outcomes.
Where Consulting Adds Value
Technical consulting is designed for businesses that need senior direction on architecture and delivery, but do not need a full-time technical leadership hire. The goal is to improve decision quality, reduce delivery risk, and align technical choices with commercial priorities.
Typical Engagement Areas
Work can include architecture reviews, stack decisions, scoping support, and planning for phased delivery. We also help evaluate tradeoffs across speed, cost, maintainability, and team capacity so priorities are clear before implementation starts.
Delivery Confidence
Where teams are already in motion, consulting often extends into delivery oversight. That includes milestone reviews, quality checks, and support with vendor or agency coordination to keep projects moving toward intended outcomes.
You gain experienced technical guidance exactly where it is needed, with enough flexibility to use it as one-off support, structured workshops, or ongoing fractional involvement.

Client Testimonials
James worked with me on a sales site for a piece of software. It was a complicated and, at points vague, brief with multiple implementation options and, at the start, unfinished designs. He worked incredibly quickly, producing code of a very high standard that was meticulously organised. More than that, he worked with us to solve problems; coming up with solutions to design and functionality challenges. Throughout, he was a pleasure to work with. He's someone I'd strongly recommend for any WordPress build-outs.
It works well for me as I like the fact I am speaking direct to James who is building the site rather than speaking to a junior account manager which you get at many agencies.
After the initial build was completed, James is managing our site and helping with a lot of changes we're doing as we grow.
When I started as a personal trainer, I underestimated the importance of having a website and online presence. After deciding to build one, James made the process clear from the start. He delivered a site that was easy to navigate, guided me through basic customization, and offered ongoing support. I couldn't have asked for better.
James worked with us to help us build the website for our charity. It was a great pleasure to work with him. Very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you very much!
Everyone at King's College London is in love with the new CSGS website, from the faculty in our department to the higher up deans. It's a relief to have a web presence that matches the awesome research reputation of our university.
We're honestly really happy to recommend James for web development-- he's very thoughtful, reliable and always tries to match the web design & functionality to one's mission and KPIs. We're very grateful to have worked with James and are ready to recommend him ten times over!
I've said this to other people, but James is very smart. He's not just a developer, he's good at problem-solving. He can come up with a few solutions and talk them through with me.
Some developers I've worked with need total direction. I like that James can get on with it without being told exactly what needs to be done, particularly with the more complicated builds.
A huge thank you to James who was my biggest support to create a website that supports my passion for fashion. His wide knowledge, great skill set and continues support with new ideas helped to create my website. It was great to see how the site was developed step by step, James would always make sure to talk me through each stage. I would definitely recommend his services especially if you are looking for a friendly approach and high-quality work.
We have worked with James for several years on our British Science Festival and British Science Week WordPress websites. Thanks to James, the websites have gone through several incarnations and evolve to get better each year. James is professional, friendly, responsive, and always provides a detailed explanation of each stage of the process, including instructional videos.
The Centre for Nomadic Studies is an academic research centre focused on the political economy of nomadic cultures, conducting interviews with semi-nomadic communities and digitizing archival materials and photographs from 20th century explorers and travel writers.
I had seen a website James designed for another King's College London research centre and was impressed by its clarity, formatting, and presentation. I wanted that same standard for the centre I was starting and James delivered.
The experience was excellent. James was patient with a wide range of uploads, always responsive, and happy to jump on a Zoom to talk through changes. Since launch, we've already had people reach out and new partnership conversations started. I would absolutely recommend James.
WildPress has been really helpful in building our website and providing ongoing tips, support, and advice in a timely manner. The site works nicely, looks great, and is easy to manage for someone new to it. Support has always been prompt. Thanks, WildPress!
James is a pleasure to work with: highly skilled, a fantastic problem solver, personable, and easy to collaborate with. We worked closely on a bespoke subscription product and e-commerce site, and he was integral to its success. I would highly recommend him.
James Whayman has been a precious partner for the past 5 years. I have rarely found someone so professional, dedicated, kind and responsive. He gave a great boost to my website that is now on first page in Google research and I could not be happier with the services that he provided me. I have been impressed with his helpfulness every time I was not able to do something myself or in case of emergency. Highly recommended!!!
I recently started my own business in the real estate sector. James provided great advice, helping me with the launch of my website and my social media accounts. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for guidance on improving their website.
