My Experience
Universal Brain
In production
One knowledge base behind every site - languages, places, peoples and a dated history of more than half a million events, read live rather than copied.
The Meridian suite
Built in-house
Calendar, publishing, geography and page building, written as first-party components so the sites are not hostage to somebody else’s plugin.
Watchman Productions
Open for work
Websites, custom software and automation for people who need the thing to work rather than to win an award.
Writing
Published weekly
Kingdom Nations, Cultural Survival and Bible teaching - written once and carried across the network.
I Provide This Services
Design that gets out of the way
Pages laid out so the thing a reader came for is the thing they find first, on a phone as much as a desktop.
01
Artwork and banners
Title cards, banners and flags generated to one house style, so a list of fifty posts looks like one publication.
04
Websites
Built on Joomla with first-party components, so what you are shown in a demo is what you are handed - not a rental.
02
Support
Backups that are tested, updates that are applied, and somebody who answers when the site is down.
05
Found by search
Clean URLs with no database ids in them, real titles, sitemaps and structured data, because a page nobody can find is a page nobody reads.
03
Works on the phone
Most readers arrive on a phone. Everything here is built and checked that way round.
06
My Skills
Fast pages
Images sized and compressed for the page they sit on; a 2MB logo is a slow site, and it was measured, not guessed.
01
Joomla and PHP
Writing and research
Python
PostgreSQL and MariaDB
Linux, Docker, nginx
APIs and data modelling
Front end: HTML, CSS, JS
Site security and backups
Custom software
Python and PHP for the jobs no off-the-shelf product fits - importers, APIs, automation that runs overnight.

My Clients
A site you own outright, on software I wrote and can fix, with the content, the images and the database handed over with it. No monthly rental for the privilege of your own pages.
What you get
Greg Loucks
I build the thing, run it on my own sites first, and only then put it in front of anybody else. Everything on this page is running somewhere you can go and look at.
