Hello, I'm Ben.
I built Pandemonium Software Ltd because UK small businesses deserve good tools without the tech hassle, and more time for the customers they're in business to serve.
I'm an Oxfordshire-based software developer. Before starting Pandemonium Software Ltd, I spent years building software for real businesses — the kind of work where a broken button costs someone real money and nobody has patience for jargon.
Along the way, I noticed something. The small business owners I knew — the plumbers, electricians, builders, gardeners, photographers and therapists who keep Oxfordshire running — were getting a terrible deal from the web. They either had no website at all, or a tired one built a decade ago, or they were paying someone else for every lead just to be found.
So I built ModuForge — a small, focused service that does one thing really well: professional websites for UK trades and small businesses, at a fair flat fee, with no lock-in and no lead fees. Pick the modules you need, get a site built around them. Proudly Oxfordshire-based, serving the UK. Your site, your content and your domain are yours.
I keep the business deliberately small. I do the building myself. The routine work — answering enquiries, running compatibility checks against my playbook, tracking client progress, sending the right reminder at the right time — runs automatically on a system I've built, and anything that needs judgement comes to me. That means fast answers for you and proper time for me to spend building, not buried in admin.
I'm not trying to be a big agency. I'm trying to be the developer your mate should have told you about — just with a smarter pipeline behind the scenes than most one-person shops can manage.
