Work directly with the person understanding and building your software.

You work directly with me, Danny Mills, as the Business Software Consultant and Developer responsible for understanding and delivering the work. DanJMills is my personal professional identity and a trading style of OrbitWeb Ltd, which is the legal supplier used for agreements and invoices. I can bring in suitable specialist support where an agreed project genuinely needs it without creating a sales or account-management layer between us.

I focus on practical web-based business software. That includes portals, CRM-style systems, registration and onboarding, documents and approvals, dashboards, calculators, APIs, integrations, AI-assisted workflows and improvements to existing Laravel or Vue applications. I am best suited to work where understanding the operation matters as much as writing the code.

Yes, when the task is a suitable use of AI. I can use language models for controlled work such as document extraction, classification, summarising, drafting and finding missing information, then connect that task to the wider application. The design should define permissions, test cases, review points, logs, costs and what happens when the output is uncertain or wrong.

I use modern development tools, including AI assistance, where they help me explore, implement or review work efficiently. I remain responsible for the requirements, architecture, security, testing and delivered code. Faster code generation does not replace understanding the business or checking that the software behaves correctly.

Yes. I can deliver a defined area of work, strengthen requirements, review important decisions or provide senior hands-on development alongside an existing team. Responsibilities, repository access, review and handover are agreed clearly so the engagement improves the delivery rather than adding another dependency.

Laravel and Vue are my strongest and most frequent application stack, supported by PHP, TypeScript, MySQL and established hosting and deployment tools. I choose the technical route around the business need and existing system. I will recommend configuration, integration or another suitable approach when a new Laravel and Vue build is not the sensible answer.

Start with the business pressure, existing system or software idea rather than trying to prepare a complete specification. I will recommend the smallest useful paid next step. That may be a focused review, requirements and discovery, a working prototype, an application health check or a clearly defined development phase.

For client-funded work, the agreed deliverables belong to your business once the relevant invoices have been paid. Repository access, data, hosting, third-party services, reusable components and handover responsibilities are made clear before development begins.

Yes. An ongoing arrangement can cover managed hosting, backups, monitoring, security and dependency updates, practical support and controlled feature development. I can also document the system and hand it over cleanly to an internal team or another suitable supplier.

I am based in Greater Manchester and work remotely with businesses across the United Kingdom. I can also arrange on-site discovery, process and stakeholder sessions across Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area where meeting the people doing the work will improve the outcome.
