Var Digital.
Hi. I'm Joe Pritchard, the founder of Var Digital. I make quality web and mobile apps using cutting edge tech.
What I Do
I'm a full-stack web developer and business owner with a couple of active startups. I live and work in Edinburgh but I have clients all over the UK. This is some of what I like to do:
Backend Web Development.
I've been writing traditional web apps for over ten years, and have built a number of very high performing backend applications for a variety of industries. These days I do most of my backend work in PHP (Laravel), but I also use Elixir (Phoenix), Java or Node (Express or vanilla)
Native and Hybrid Apps
I specialise in building cross-platform hybrid and native apps, both Installable PWAs delivered over the web, and True Native delivered via the Apple and Android stores. I work equally well using web technologies (I use Capacitor an Ionic) or Java and Swift for the native side.
Pure Frontend
I use VueJS to build blazing fast SPAs and PWAs with no backend requirements and extremely low maintenance and hosting cost.
Mentoring and Consultancy
I can provide advice if you're starting a project in an unfamiliar area or need some input on requirements for a new venture. If you have junior developers that need a kickstart on a new stack, help with technical issues, or career progression I can help there too.
I'm also interesting in partnering if the right idea comes along, so if you have a great product that needs a developer, let's talk :)
