My Story
Built for small businesses who deserve better
Based in the UK, serving businesses worldwide
From Clothing Brand Owner to Web Developer
I didn’t start with code. I started with business.
My name’s Sem, and before becoming a developer I spent five years building an online clothing brand from scratch with no funding, no shortcuts, and a lot of late nights figuring things out along the way.
I launched it with just £500 and grew it to over £680,000 in sales, 14,000+ units sold, and nearly a million website visitors - all from my bedroom. It wasn’t a huge company, but every bit of progress came from persistence, creativity, and learning on the job.
I’ve felt the pressure of making every pound count. I know what it’s like to build something from nothing and want every part of it, including the website, to actually work.
I’ve also been on the other side: dealing with people who over-promise and under-deliver, turning what should’ve been help into hassle. That experience shaped how I work today.
When I had to close that brand in 2023, I decided to re-skill as a software developer. Now, through SemDev, I help small business owners get an online presence that truly does their business justice. I take pride in quality, discipline, and making sure every client feels looked after. I only want happy, satisfied clients - that’s how I measure success.
Built From Experience. Run With Discipline
I run SemDev with the same structure and obsession I brought to my previous business, but now my full focus is on helping small businesses win online.
I know what it’s like to start something from scratch, to wear every hat, and to keep pushing long after most people stop.
That’s why I don’t cut corners. When you work with me, you get a website that reflects the same level of care and attention you put into your business.
Personal Service
You work directly with me, not a team of account managers. One point of contact, clear communication.
Reliability
Deadlines met, promises kept. Your business depends on consistency, and so does mine.
Genuine Care
Your success is my success. I'm invested in seeing your business grow and thrive online.
