About Us
We specialise in creating bespoke websites and web applications that provide great functionality and features.
Having your own website and great online solutions can open the door to many avenues, and it may not be as difficult as you think. We like to help people out and enable them to create something for themselves, so go ahead and check out our blog and see if you can learn anything!
We talk a lot about Django, Ubuntu, Python, Javascript and and many other things to help you create a bespoke web application. As the sole founder of KOWD Limited, I don't really have any financial motivation in trying to enable people to create their own great web features via our blog. If you like you can buy me a coffee if you feel like I've helped you out, but I'm honestly just happy to do it out of my own curiosity and interest in web development and share it with you 😊
Our Portfolio

PingMeYourLocation is a geolocation app that allows users to easily and securely request or share their exact location. Registered users can send a link to others, who can respond by sharing their coordinates along with a custom note. The location is instantly displayed on a Google map for easy tracking.
This project demonstrates my expertise in integrating real-time geolocation data, user-friendly interfaces, and secure information handling, all developed to help simplify location sharing.

For Sweep365, I created a clean and user-friendly website that showcases the wide range of professional chimney services offered, including chimney sweeping, bird nest removal, CCTV and drone surveys, stove maintenance, and more. The site emphasizes clear navigation with a modern design, responsive layout, and custom imagery for each service. I also integrated sections for customer inquiries, service bookings, and a special feature for their Good Luck Wedding Chimney Sweep service. The site reflects the professionalism of Stephen Wilburn, the sole operator of Sweep365, and ensures easy access to information for potential clients.

I developed the Easy2Auction website for John Marriott, focusing on simplicity and efficiency to help homeowners sell their properties quickly through cash buyers or a fast auction process. The site features a clean, professional layout with easy navigation, enabling users to quickly understand the services and get in touch. With a focus on fast property sales in Cheshire, the website highlights the straightforward, no-fee approach to selling houses, making it an ideal platform for homeowners looking for quick and hassle-free transactions.

Kieran's Cakery is one of our latest front-end development projects, designed and developed by Kieran Oldfield.
It is optimised beautifully for mobile and desktop devices and is something that could really showcase someones bakery/cakery business.

SensaBaby is an e-commerce website inspired by my wife who has a background in childcare and education.
This project integrates Stripe's Checkout Session and Product API, and I will be looking to add more features to this website soon.
(This app is in test mode, so you can go ahead and try out its features! Use the card number 4000 0000 0000 3220 to test payments, with any future expiry, any CVV and post/zip code.)

Novabeat is a responsive mock-up landing page that I developed for a hi-tech speaker.
This project was made in collaboration with web designer Musawir Hussain who designed the landing page.

PotterBook is a booking web-application for businesses and sole-traders all across the globe. You can sign up, make a schedule, share your unique link/QR code with your clients and get paid bookings!
Upon booking an appointment, a client is sent a QR ticket and unique URL that the service provider can scan/click upon attendance.
The app uses the Stripe Connect API to link with and pay service providers so that payments are directly paid to their Stripe accounts instantly.

Kieran Oldfield Entertainment Services is a website designed and developed by myself.
It has a very clean look with a black and white theme. The main section also has a small mp4 clip running in the background, giving it a bit of a disco-dynamic.
-
This project is a video chat application where two users can join a single room and have a conversation via video and text.
If you need help with your conversation, you can call OpenAI's GPT 3.5 to aid you in whatever you may need by adding "!gpt" at the beginning of your message.
You can also generate an AI image by simply describing what you want in the image and by adding "!img" to the beginning of your message.
These features are made possible with the power of WebRTC, WebSockets, OpenAI's ChatCompletion and DALL-E API, and Coturn's open source TURN and STUN servers configured on my VPS.

This is a web page that I made for my sister who is mobile eyelash artist.
This webpage was made using a ready-made HTML template courtesy of Free CSS and tailored/edited to her business.

This is a website that I made for my wife who is an OFSTED registered childminder.
Upon entering the website, you will notice that there is a unique feel to it which makes it stand out from other websites. The background moves dynamically based on where your cursor is, and navigating to different pages gives a smooth fade-out fade-in transition, giving it a truly premium feel which is something that DIY websites can lack due to restrictions of customisability that code can bring to the table.
There is also a diary feature, which allows my wife as a childminder to create accounts for parents and write updates of what their children have been doing throughout the day and for the parents to reply in their diary.
