About

I ship real products of my own - and I bring that same care to websites for small businesses.

I work solo and end to end, with Swift on the apps and modern, dependency-light web tech on the sites. I've spent years building and running my own software - The Racing Line reaches over 100,000 motorsport fans every race weekend - and I'm also building Stuc, a hiking companion for Scotland's hills.

Based in Edinburgh, working with businesses across Scotland.

FAQ
Do you build websites for small businesses?

Yes - that's my main client focus. I build fast, modern websites for small businesses across Scotland, from one-page sites to content-rich marketing sites and custom web apps.

Where are you based, and who do you work with?

I'm based in Edinburgh and work with businesses across Scotland, as well as remotely further afield. Charnwood Coatings & Fabrication in Loughborough is one recent example.

Do you take on iOS development work?

I build and run my own iOS apps, like The Racing Line, but for client work I focus on web development. If you have a web project in mind, I'd love to hear from you.

How do I start a project?

The best first step is a short email about what you need at dave@daveellis.dev. I'll come back to you with honest thoughts on scope, timing and cost.
