Rebellious Digital is a WordPress studio in Maldon, Essex. Lee leads every project: your point of contact and your developer. When a project needs more hands, trusted designers, project managers and marketers join in, so it never outgrows us.
Bigger agencies have bigger teams and more layers between you and the work. With us, Lee stays your point of contact and your developer from first call to launch, and when your project needs more hands, trusted specialists join him.
01
Your contact is your developer.
The person on the phone is the person building your site. Ask a question and you get a real answer, straight away.
02
More hands when you need them.
When a project calls for more, Lee brings in trusted designers, project managers and marketers he already works with, and stays in charge throughout.
03
Nothing gets lost in translation.
No briefs passed between departments. What we agree on the call is what gets built.
04
We're in it for the long run.
We host, update and look after the sites we build, so we care how they perform long after launch day.

Hi,I'mLee.Ileadthestudio,andIwritethecode.
I'm the founder of Rebellious Digital, and a WordPress and front end developer with over 15 years of experience building websites.
As well as leading the studio, I work as a contract developer for agencies and larger companies, building corporate and brand websites to a clear brief. I'm available for hire, whether that's a project for your business or a developer to join your team.

Alongside your designers, SEO and marketing partners
Yes. We have built websites for over 100 UK businesses, from small brochure sites to WooCommerce stores and custom plugins. Lee leads every project as your point of contact and developer, and brings in trusted designers, project managers and marketers when it needs more hands. If it ever needs a skill we do not have, we will tell you upfront.
Yes. As well as small and local businesses, Lee works as a contract developer for agencies and larger companies, building corporate and brand websites to a clear brief.
WordPress and WooCommerce for most websites and stores, Shopify for online stores that suit it, and Next.js for headless builds. We write in PHP, JavaScript and TypeScript, and use Git, GitHub and Vercel to build and ship.
That is the whole point. We host and maintain the sites we build, and some clients have been with us for years.

“Recently worked with Lee at Rebellious Digital to build a new website for the company I work for. Lee was professional and shared ideas of how we could receive more ‘hits’ from the website as well as taking time to run through my thought process of layout before coming up with an initial design. His turnaround for the final product was really impressive. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

“Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a website built!! My first website for my new business but Lee seamlessly guided me through the process from start to finish. My ideas on paper quickly came to life, albeit with a few professional tweaks and recommendations from Lee. Communications was second to none, no qualms in answering my silly questions. Cool guy, clearly passionate about what he does and knows his stuff. Will definitely be going back to Lee for future support and maintenance. Wouldn’t use anyone else now!”
