I’m James Cartwright. I live in Louth, where I build stuff for the web.

I am a bi-vocational church minister and front-end web developer. For the last 10 years I’ve split my time between running a web development agency (&beyond) and volunteering at Generations Church as an associate pastor and campus pastor.

I am now taking on a small, select number of clients to work with on an ongoing basis. I have 25 years experience in web design. If you are interested in working with me, please drop me a message.
