Tell me the problem
Explain what you want the website or tool to achieve. I'll ask the useful questions and suggest a practical route.
Independent freelance developer
Small business websites, built properly and priced fairly.
Not a template that just sits there. I build the working parts too — booking flows, online shops, AI chatbots, and admin areas you can update yourself. Agency-standard work, without agency prices.

Four years as a software engineer at Sky UK, on the backend systems behind their streaming and broadcast services. That experience is why I can build functionality, not just pages.
My web projects.

Milan Hotel

“He delivered the website much faster than I expected and always responded promptly whenever I had a question or requested a change. Communication was clear throughout, the process felt straightforward, and he went far beyond my original expectations.”
“I love the booking form, but the admin area was an unexpected bonus. I can update text and upload pictures myself, giving me complete control over the website.”

More about how I work
Why it costs less than an agency
Good work at a price you can actually afford.
I use modern development tools and a lean process to work quickly and keep costs low. I'm not chasing agency margins — my aim is to do good work at a price small businesses, charities and individuals can actually afford.
Small business? Small budget?
Perfect. Get in touch.
Larger project?
I'm happy to discuss that too.
Pricing
A clear quote before anything begins.
Every project is different, so I quote the actual work instead of hiding the price behind a sales call. Tell me what you need and the budget you are working with.
Free estimate.
No surprise invoices.
Free mock-up.
Once we agree what you need, you'll have something to look at within 24 hours.
How it works
A straightforward route from idea to finished work.
You do not need a technical brief. Start with the problem, the rough budget and when you need it.

I can show you the proposed direction before you commit, so you are not buying a mystery.
Agree the quote
You get a clear price and scope before work begins. Once we agree it, I build and keep you updated.
Who you are hiring
Small-business service, backed by enterprise engineering experience.
Telfardo is my independent freelance studio. I'm Ned Telfer, a backend software engineer with four years of professional experience at Sky UK, working on distributed systems, microservices and infrastructure migration.
It is a different discipline to web development, but it is why I write the working parts myself rather than bolting on a plugin and hoping.
Common questions
Useful answers before the sales conversation.
How much will it cost?
Every project is different, so I quote the actual work. Tell me your rough budget and I'll recommend what is realistic within it. You'll know the price before anything begins.
Do I need to understand websites or have a technical brief?
No. Tell me the business problem in ordinary language. I'll explain the useful options without jargon and tell you when something is unnecessary.
Can you help with domains and hosting?
Yes. I can help choose and connect the practical services needed to put the finished website online.
What happens before I pay?
We discuss the goal and I can prepare a free first mock-up. You then receive a clear quote and scope before paid work starts.
