Hey, I'm Tom! 👋

I've been coding for almost 10 years. PHP is my comfort zone — native PHP and CodeIgniter 4 are what I reach for when I want to build something. I also play with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and sometimes Laravel or React when the project asks for it.

This started as a place to share templates and tools I built for myself. Then a client asked if I could build something to answer customer questions and capture leads while he slept — that side project became the AI widget you can try right now, and it's the thing I'm most excited about here.

10 years in the game

Started coding as a curious teenager. Now I still feel like a curious teenager, just with more keyboard shortcuts memorized.

PHP is my happy place

Native PHP, CodeIgniter 4, Laravel when needed — but CI4 is where I feel most at home, and where the widget itself is built.

Built to actually help

I build things to solve real problems — starting with mine, then other developers', then small businesses'.

“I just really like making things.”

Hey there! I'm Tom. I've been coding for almost a decade, and somewhere along the way, I realized that my favorite thing to do is just... build stuff. PHP is my go-to — especially CodeIgniter 4 — but I also mess around with JavaScript, React, WordPress themes, whatever seems fun at the time.

This site started as a dumping ground for templates and tools I kept building for myself. Then a small business owner asked if I could make something that could answer his customers' questions and grab their contact info after hours. That turned into the AI widget — and it's now the main thing I build and support here, with the templates still around for anyone who wants them.

Some of this stuff is free. The widget runs on a straightforward monthly subscription, and a few of the bigger templates cost a bit too (coffee isn't free, unfortunately). Either way, it's code written and maintained by an actual person — not something slapped together and left to rot.

— Tom, just a guy who likes to code

🤖 what I build most days now

An AI sales widget that answers questions, qualifies leads, and takes payment

Install it with one script tag. It talks to your visitors 24/7, sends you the qualified ones, and can even close the sale in the same conversation.
