Hey, I'm Jared.

I'm not just another web developer.

I'm someone who genuinely cares about building your business. Be My Dev is my workshop — one person, one desk, a lot of heart.

I'll build the website while you focus on your business. You'll always work directly with me — no account managers, no confusing jargon, no disappearing after launch.

Alice in Bloom

One recent piece — crafted properly, for a real business.

2026

Preview — going live soon

Shopify store

Alice in Bloom was built for a local mom in Cape Town with a passion for creating beautiful, handcrafted flower arrangements. The goal was to create a modern, elegant Shopify store that reflects the beauty of her brand while making it easy for customers to browse bouquets, place orders, and arrange flower deliveries online. The website combines a soft, premium design with a seamless shopping experience, mobile-friendly performance, and SEO best practices to help the business grow its online presence and connect with more customers.

My toolbox

Simple process. No mystery.

How we'd work together.

Good craft doesn't need a twelve-step methodology. Four steps, always transparent, always the same person on the other end.

step one

You tell me about the idea.

I sketch a plan and a fixed quote.

I craft it — carefully, properly.

We launch. You go live.

Need photos or a brand first?

I work with a photographer and brand designer you can use — optional, but handy if you're starting from scratch.
