Matt Fenu

Websites, eCommerce & Custom Development for Small Businesses

I design and build websites, eCommerce solutions and custom web applications for small businesses in the Merthyr Tydfil area and across South Wales, and work remotely with clients anywhere.

If your business needs more than a standard website, I can connect the systems behind it, automate repetitive work and build tools around the way you operate. That includes Shopify and Amazon API integrations, booking systems, customer portals, dashboards and custom business software.

A website can do more than present your business

A good website gives potential customers a clear place to understand what you do, see why they should choose you and take the next step.

For many businesses, the website also needs to do useful work behind the scenes: take bookings, send data to another system, update products, manage customer information or connect with the services the business already uses.

I design and build fast, clear websites that work well on phones, tablets and desktops, with the technical flexibility to add the functionality your business actually needs.

If a standard website builder is enough for the job, I will not make the project more complicated than it needs to be. When your requirements go beyond a template, I can design and develop the custom parts that make the site useful to the business.

Services

Small business websites

Professional websites designed around your business, your customers and what you need the site to achieve.

I build responsive, fast-loading websites that are easy to maintain and can grow beyond a simple brochure site when you need bookings, customer features, payments or integrations.

Online booking systems

Booking and scheduling systems for businesses that need more control than standard tools provide.

This can include customer booking flows, availability management, payments, reminders, admin tools and connections to other systems used by your business.

eCommerce & marketplace integrations

Custom eCommerce development for businesses that need their store, marketplaces and internal systems to work together.

I have a strong background in eCommerce and can work with Shopify APIs, Amazon APIs and other services to move product, order, inventory and operational data between systems.

Dashboards and business automation

Replace repetitive admin and disconnected spreadsheets with tools built around the way your business works.

I can build dashboards and internal applications that manage customers, orders, jobs, reports, inventory or other processes, and automate repetitive steps where an API or reliable integration makes that possible.

Custom web applications & API integrations

When standard software does not fit your requirements, I can build the missing piece and connect it to the services you already use.

That can include customer portals, internal tools, data management systems, custom workflows, third-party APIs and integrations between your website, eCommerce platform and business software.

Why work with me

You work directly with the person designing and building your project.

I look at the wider job your website or application needs to do, including the systems it may need to connect to and the manual work that could be automated.

My background in eCommerce means I am comfortable working with products, orders, inventory, marketplaces and API-driven integrations, including Shopify and Amazon.

I focus on practical technology that is reliable, maintainable and appropriate for your business.

A straightforward process

  1. 01

    Tell me what you need

    Send me a short description of your business, what you want to build, the systems you already use and any manual or repetitive problems you are trying to solve.

  2. 02

    We define the project

    I will help turn your requirements into a clear scope, including pages, features, integrations, data flows and the technical work that is actually needed.

  3. 03

    I design and build it

    I design and develop the project, including any custom functionality or integrations, with regular progress updates so you can review the work before launch.

  4. 04

    We launch

    Once everything has been tested and approved, including any connected services or automated workflows, I will help get the website or application live.

  5. 05

    Ongoing support

    If you want continued help after launch, I can handle updates, maintenance, improvements and new features as your business grows.

Good technology should make the business easier to run

A well-built website or application should be easy for customers to use and sensible for the business to maintain.

The right solution might be a straightforward website, a custom integration or a small internal tool. The aim is to build what the business needs without adding unnecessary complexity.

When your systems do not talk to each other

Many businesses end up copying the same information between a website, an eCommerce platform, spreadsheets, email, marketplaces and internal software.

That creates repetitive work and makes it easier for product, order, customer or inventory data to fall out of sync.

Where the services provide the right APIs, I can build integrations and automated workflows that move data between systems and reduce manual handling. My eCommerce experience includes working with Shopify and Amazon integrations.

If you have a process that involves repeated exports, imports, copy-and-paste work or several disconnected tools, tell me how it works today. I can help you decide whether a custom integration or small application is worth building.

Selected work

sianmoves.com - Website & CMS

Sian had recently launched her business as a yoga teacher and needed to establish a professional online presence quickly. The website was designed to give potential clients a clear place to understand her approach and get in touch, while giving the new business the credibility it needed from the start. Alongside the website, I built a custom CMS that allows Sian to update text, images and links herself, so the site can evolve with her business without relying on a developer for everyday changes.

What they said: I love the website that Matt has created for me. He really took all my ideas and vision and brought it to life. I expecially love that I have the ability to change and add the content without needing to know how to code. Brilliant job!

About me

I'm Matt, an independent web designer and developer based in the Merthyr Tydfil area, working with small businesses across South Wales and remotely with clients anywhere.

My background is strongly rooted in eCommerce, where websites rarely operate on their own. Products, orders, inventory, marketplaces and internal systems often need to exchange data reliably.

I build websites as well as the custom functionality behind them, including Shopify API integrations, Amazon API integrations, booking systems, customer portals, dashboards, automation and connections to third-party services.

I handle the work myself, so you always know who is working on your project and who to contact when you have a question.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost?

The cost depends on the size of the website and the features you need. A straightforward business website will cost less than a project involving eCommerce, API integrations, automation or a custom web application. Tell me what you have in mind and I can give you an estimate based on the actual work involved.

How long does a project take?

It depends on the scope. Smaller websites can usually be completed much faster than projects involving custom functionality, eCommerce integrations, third-party APIs or user accounts. Before development begins, I will give you a clear idea of the expected timeline.

Can you redesign an existing website?

Yes. I can improve an existing website, rebuild it or replace it completely depending on its current condition and what you want to achieve.

Can you maintain the website after launch?

Yes. I can provide ongoing support for updates, maintenance, small changes and future improvements.

Do you provide hosting and domain setup?

I can help you choose and configure hosting, connect your domain and set up the technical parts needed to put your website online.

Can you build something that is not listed here?

Probably. If you need a website to connect to another service, want to automate part of your business, or have an idea for a custom tool, send me a description of the problem. I can tell you whether it is a good fit and whether an existing product or a custom build makes more sense.

Tell me about your project

If you are planning a new website, redesign, eCommerce integration, automation project or custom web application, send me a few details about what you need.

If the project involves Shopify, Amazon or another service, tell me what needs to connect and what you currently do manually.

You do not need a technical specification. A simple description of your goals, current setup or the problem you need to solve is enough to start the conversation.
