About me
Hi, I'm Peter Knight.
A freelance web developer, designer, and digital product builder based in Ireland. With over 30 years of design experience, 26 of them freelance, I've been helping businesses, agencies, and startups create things that look great and work even better.
My specialism is ProcessWire CMS, a powerful, developer-friendly platform I've been working with since its early days. Whether it's a bespoke editorial platform, a complex directory, or a lightweight marketing site, I know how to shape ProcessWire to fit the project rather than the other way around. And because I think in both design and code, the two never end up at odds.

Background
My Story
My design career started long before the web was even a consideration, over 30 years ago, working across print, branding, and visual communication. Going freelance 26 years ago was the best decision I ever made, and I haven't looked back. When the web arrived, I was already deep in design thinking, which shaped how I approach every project to this day.
Over the years I've worked across agencies, startups, and directly with clients, building everything from news platforms and e-commerce stores to virtual tour galleries and SaaS dashboards. Most of that work has been through Eden Studios, where I've taken on complex projects that need both technical depth and design sensibility.
More recently I've been building my own products. ChillSSL is an SSL certificate monitoring platform I founded and built from scratch. Hey Osprey is a competitor tracking tool I'm currently developing. Both products come from real frustrations I've had as a developer, and they've sharpened how I think about product, UX, and sustainable architecture.
Expertise
What I Work With
ProcessWire CMS
My primary platform. I've built everything from simple brochure sites to large-scale editorial platforms and directory systems on ProcessWire.
PHP & Back-End
Server-side logic, APIs, database design, and custom module development. Clean, maintainable code that other developers can actually work with.
Tailwind CSS & Front-End
Modern, utility-first CSS with Alpine.js for interactivity. Fast to build, easy to maintain, and consistent across browsers and devices.
Product Development
From concept to launch. I've built and shipped my own SaaS products, so I understand the full journey, not just the code.
Process
How I Work
Listen First
I start by understanding the problem, not jumping to solutions. Good questions upfront save a lot of rework later.
Plan Clearly
A solid structure before a line of code is written. Content, data, and user flows mapped out so nothing is a surprise.
Build Properly
Clean code, sensible architecture, and decisions that hold up at scale, not just for the launch deadline.
Stay Involved
I don't disappear after go-live. Most of my client relationships are long-term because good sites need ongoing care.
Let's work together
Sound like a good fit?
