I’m James Cartwright. I live in Louth, where I design the future.

I am bi-vocational church ministers and front-end web developer. For the last 10 years I’ve split my time between running a web development agency (&beyond) and volunteering at Generations Church as an associate pastor and campus pastor.

Since 31st May 2023, I have closed &beyond and I am currently taking a sabbatical from work to focus on spending time with my family and volunteering at Generations Church.

After completing my sabbatical, I will be taking on some part time web development work for select clients. I have 25 years experience in web design. If you are interested in working with me, please drop me a message.

Web Development Expertise

I specialise in eCommerce tech-stack consultation, strategy and implementation and front-end web development, primarily on the Shopify eCommerce platform. Including:

  • Shopify 2.0 compatible custom theme development
  • Shopify app development in Node.js and React
