Hello!

I’m Andrew Towler, and I’ve been building commercial websites and applications since 1999. In 2005 I created the ZigPress brand to promote my services, and since then I have worked with a variety of clients in Europe, America and Asia, helping them transform their business with new or improved websites and applications.

In 2013 a private cloud application I designed and developed won Best B2B Application at the Malta Communication Authority eBusiness awards.

For many years I have specialised in the WordPress platform, building applications that push the boundaries of what WordPress can do. I have also developed many pure PHP/SQL apps and have worked with other platforms including Symfony, Laravel, Grav and Bolt.

I also build solutions with ProcessWire, a fast and extremely flexible platform. ProcessWire is not as well known as WordPress but is a better option in certain scenarios.

Finding an independent full-stack developer with this experience isn’t easy and that's a very good reason to hire me! Read on for more reasons.

Partnerships

I’ve assisted more than 100 organisations since starting ZigPress. The logos you see here are a selection of clients and brands that I’m especially proud to have worked with.

You may notice a Maltese bias; I lived in Malta for many years and am an approved supplier to the Government of Malta. I still spend more time working with my Maltese clients than any other group.

Work

Applications

Most of my work involves building and managing private cloud-based applications. These screenshots are pixellated for obvious reasons.

Websites

Creating and supporting unique, hand-coded, accessible and easy to use public websites is a less frequent but no less important part of my workload.

My development process does not include off-the-shelf templates, heavy page builder plugins or any use of AI-generated code, so you can be confident that your ZigPress-developed app or site will be unique, efficiently coded and easy to manage.

Feedback

Satisfaction comes from a job well done, but it’s good to get positive feedback. Here is some I’ve received from clients.

We were introduced to Andrew by one of our clients who spoke highly about him. The choice was spot on! Andrew is very efficient and reliable and came up with a superb site. Definitely recommend.
