Cloud Wales is a bespoke web development practice based in Ceredigion, Wales. Since 1999 I've been building, hosting and supporting custom web applications, websites and software for businesses and government organisations across the UK and around the world. Web development at Cloud Wales is hands-on, end-to-end work — design, build, deploy, and ongoing maintenance from a single point of contact.
Most projects fall into one of three buckets. Custom web applications: CRM systems, monitoring & evaluation tools, project trackers, client service portals, and other line-of-business software tailored to how your team actually works. Public websites and brochure sites: marketing pages, blogs, portfolios — fast, accessible, mobile-first, and easy to update. Long-running platforms: integrations with payment providers, mailing systems, third-party APIs, and bespoke administration tools that quietly run the business behind the scenes.
I work primarily with Go for backend services, Vue 3 for frontends, and Postgres as the database of record. Where it suits the project I also use Laravel (PHP), Ruby on Rails, and Python — chosen to match the team you'll inherit the code from rather than imposed for novelty. Hosting is on DigitalOcean and Hetzner, deployments are containerised with Docker, and TLS is automated with Caddy and Let's Encrypt.
Most engagements start with a short conversation about the problem you're trying to solve, followed by a fixed-scope discovery phase, then a build with regular check-ins. I work as a sole developer for the build itself — no offshoring, no large-team overhead, no surprise handovers — which keeps communication direct and decisions fast.
