Full Stack Development Partner
Bespoke Websites, React Applications & Custom Business Software.
Whether you need a high-performance business website, a customer portal, a CRM system, a booking platform, or a fully bespoke web application, I build solutions that solve operational problems, generate leads and help businesses scale.
What's Included
One Price. The Complete Package.
Whether your project is a business website, a customer portal, a web application or a piece of bespoke software, every build comes fully loaded: design, development, hosting, SSL, email and 12 months of aftercare, all in one fixed price. Unlike agencies that charge separately for hosting, domains and support, the essentials are never bolted on as extras.
Domain Registration
Your .co.uk or .com registered and managed through Host Dada, Nominet's accredited partner.
12 Months Hosting
Unlimited website and email hosting on our managed Apache servers. 99% uptime, SSH access, full cPanel control.
Free SSL Certificate
Every site hosted with Host Dada gets a free SSL certificate. Secure from day one, no extras to buy.
Responsive Design
Pixel-perfect on every device. Every layout tested across mobile, tablet and desktop.
Page Speed Optimisation
Optimised assets, caching, and clean code. Fast loading directly affects your rankings and conversions.
12 Months Support
After launch, I'm still here. Security updates, tweaks, and troubleshooting included for a full year.
Professional Email Setup
Business email addresses configured and ready to use. MS365 integration available.†
Plugin Licences Included
Key premium plugins required for your site are included, with no surprise licence fees to add on top.
Custom Plugin Development
As a published WordPress plugin author, I can build any functionality from scratch. If it doesn't exist, I'll build it.
* SSL included for domains on Host Dada nameservers. † MS365 requires a separate Microsoft licence.
Hosting That Goes Further
Not Just Hosting. Managed Protection
Most developers hand your site off to a shared host and walk away. Every site I build is hosted on my own servers, with features most agencies charge extra for.
Daily Automated Backups
Your data is backed up every single day. If anything goes wrong, whether human error, plugin conflict or anything else, you can recover quickly with zero data loss.
Daily Malware Scanning
We scan your website every day to detect and remove threats before they cause damage. You'll know about a problem before your customers do.
Free SSL on Every Site
Secure your site and build trust with visitors. An SSL certificate is included with every hosting plan at no extra cost. No renewals, no surprises.
More Than Websites
Many Developers Build Websites. I Build Business Systems.
Over the last 17 years I've delivered everything from brochure websites and eCommerce stores to customer portals, booking platforms, SaaS applications, lead generation systems, AI-powered tools and bespoke business software.
If your business is struggling with manual processes, disconnected systems, repetitive administration or inefficient workflows, custom software can often provide a better return on investment than hiring additional staff.
Bespoke Business Software
Custom applications built around your processes.
Customer Portals
Secure login areas and self-service functionality.
CRM Development
Lead management, reporting and workflow automation.
Business Automation
Reduce repetitive admin and manual tasks.
React Applications
Modern high-performance web applications.
AI Solutions
Voice agents, automation and AI-powered workflows.
Why Choose Me
Developer. Business Owner. Problem Solver.
I don't just build software for clients. I build and run software businesses of my own. I founded Host Dada, a Nominet-accredited hosting company, and Lead Stack, a multi-site lead-generation platform. I built and operate Vehicle Data Information, a live vehicle-data service, and Web Brief AI, an AI-powered SaaS platform. When you work with me you get a full stack developer who understands the commercial, operational and technical side of the systems your business depends on.
17 Years of WordPress Mastery
Plugin author. WooCommerce specialist. Published to the WordPress Plugin Library. I don't just build sites on WordPress. I extend the platform itself.
Full-Stack Development
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, React, Node.js, whatever the project needs. From static business sites to full custom applications and REST APIs.
Built with SEO in Mind
Every site is built with SEO baked in from the start: clean semantic markup, schema.org structured data, optimised page speed and proper meta configuration. I've been doing SEO since 2009 and I know what search engines actually care about.
React Development
Modern Web Applications That Go Beyond a Website.
React is often the foundation of modern business software, customer portals, SaaS platforms and operational systems. When your project requires more than a traditional website, React provides the speed, flexibility and scalability needed to support growth.
A significant part of my portfolio is built in React: full single-page applications, client dashboards, SaaS platforms and bespoke tools that need the speed, interactivity and scalability that a traditional CMS can't deliver. When the brief calls for something more than a website, React is the right tool.
From darrenk.uk itself to Web Brief AI, Midlands Smart Repairs and multiple client platforms, every React build is production-deployed on managed VPS infrastructure, not shared hosting, with Node.js backends, MongoDB databases, REST APIs and SSL handled end to end.
Web Brief AI
Full SaaS platform with AI-powered client onboarding, PDF generation and team invites.
darrenk.uk
This site, built with a React + Vite frontend, Express backend, MongoDB and a custom CMS admin panel.
Midlands Smart Repairs
React + Vite marketing site with Express API, deployed to production VPS.
HearBetter Audiology
Full-stack audiology platform with booking, provider portal, client portal, academy and careers.
WordPress Development
17 Years of WordPress, Including the Parts Most Developers Can't Touch.
WordPress powers over 40% of the web, and after 17 years building on it I know the platform at every level, from theme development and WooCommerce stores to building and publishing my own plugins to the official WordPress Plugin Directory.
I've built custom Elementor widgets, extended WooCommerce with bespoke booking and course management systems, published open-source tools used by site owners worldwide and delivered everything from simple brochure sites to complex multi-provider platforms, all on WordPress.
WordPress is one tool among many, not the whole offering. It's the ideal choice for content-driven websites where the client wants to manage their own pages, but where business requirements demand customer portals, automation, integrations or true application logic, I reach for React and custom development instead. The right technology depends on the problem, and I'll always recommend the one that fits.

Consult & Plan
We start with a proper conversation about your business, your goals and your audience. No templates, no guesswork, just a strategic plan built around what you actually need.

Client Feedback
What Clients Say
Real feedback from businesses I've built, hosted and grown over the years.
We have used Darren Kandekore to create two websites for our business. He is very professional, and his work is always to a high standard. If we ever have any problems, he is easy to get hold of and will quickly resolve the issue to ensure our website is up and running. We would definitely recommend Darren!
VG Charles
Darren really took the time to understand my wants, needs and expectations and delivered exactly what was on the brief. He's been there when I wanted changes or when I'd messed up on certain things. Overall his work is the best I've had. Top quality work as always, keep it up!
Beeline VIP Coaches
Darren really knows his stuff. Top quality but keeps the explanations simple for me. The best thing is he's really responsive so you can have total confidence in his work. Anytime I've done something by mistake to my website he gets me out of trouble and back to business straight away. Can't thank him enough.
