Illustrated portrait of Marcus Turner

Marcus Turner

I design & build websites people enjoy using.

Freelance developer crafting fast, bespoke sites for small businesses - and open to my next full-time role.

Hi, I'm Marcus Turner, with 5+ years of experience in building beautiful, bespoke digital solutions for all kinds of businesses- both small and large.

I have expertise in crafting websites for small businesses, as well as web applications for small and large businesses alike.

Between sips of coffee, I'm losing myself in either lines of code or between the pages of a book.

Work History

Software Engineer

February 2024 - July 2026

I collaborated closely with non-technical stakeholders across multiple departments to design and build internal tools that solved real business challenges. Using Next.js, TypeScript, and MUI, I developed a client onboarding document collection platform that replaced a slow, manual email-based process. Clients can now securely upload documents themselves, which are automatically sorted and organised, while staff can easily monitor progress, view key metrics, and approve or reject files — significantly streamlining the entire onboarding workflow.

Web Developer

July 2021 - February 2024

Led web development and design on a small team, delivering brochure sites, forms, and other tools for small businesses. Ran project discovery with clients to clarify requirements when needs were unclear, and supported copywriting.

Learner

March 2021 - September 2021

Introduced to software development by my brother, I discovered The Odin Project and immediately immersed myself in full-stack web development. Through its rigorous, project-heavy curriculum, I taught myself modern web technologies while building multiple full-stack applications from scratch. This self-directed journey sparked a deep passion for clean code, problem-solving, and creating practical digital solutions — a passion that led me to transition into professional development roles where I continue to grow.

Emsie is a Cornwall-based artist working across a range of mediums — acrylic, watercolour, and mixed media, to name a few. She needed a website to showcase her work, with the ability to update the content herself.
