About
Hi, I'm James, founder and lead developer at Firework. I've been building websites for more than 10 years and it never gets old.
Over the years I built a small team of developers and designers with the same mindset: build it properly, make it perform, and stand behind the work. We kept seeing businesses pay for templated work from people they'd never meet, or get cheap sites that looked like every competitor's. Firework exists to close that gap.
We're based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and work with clients worldwide. 50+ sites delivered.
How we work
- Honest scoping. We'll tell you if a project is too big or too small for the budget. No inflating scope, no cutting corners.
- Performance first. A slow website loses customers. Load time is a feature.
- No lock-in. Your domain, your hosting, your code. If you leave, you take everything with you.
- Direct communication. You message us, we reply. No VA, no ticketing system.
- Built to convert. A site that brings no enquiries is a failure, however it looks.
- Long-term. Most clients have been with us for years.
History
- Started in software development and IT - learning how systems work under the hood.
- Registered Data Advantage Co., Ltd. and launched Firework Web Design in Chiang Mai.
- Grew to 50+ sites across Thailand, Asia and beyond; added managed WordPress hosting.
- Today: still a small team, on purpose, so quality stays high.
Tools
Plain HTML/CSS/JS for static sites. WordPress and WooCommerce when a CMS or store is needed. Analytics, Google Search Console and Google Business Profile on every project. Dedicated hosting, HTTPS everywhere.
"Working with the Firework team was the best decision we made for our online presence. They understood exactly what we needed, delivered ahead of schedule, and have been our go-to team for everything web-related ever since."
