Short version: this is a website about what I do. Reading it does not hire me, and hiring me is covered by a separate written agreement, not by this page.
This site is run by Jonathan Coates, a freelance developer based in Madrid, Spain, working with clients in the UK and elsewhere. You can reach me at hello@jonathancoates.co.uk.
Everything here describes the kind of work I do and how I approach it. None of it is a quote, a contract, or a promise of availability. A piece of work only starts once we have both agreed a written scope and price.
Paid work is governed by the agreement we sign for that project, which covers scope, price, timings, ownership of the code and anything else that matters. If that agreement and this page ever disagree, the agreement wins.
Work shown here is described with the client's permission or anonymised where an agreement requires it. Results described happened on those projects, in those circumstances. They are not a prediction about yours.
The words, code samples, design and images on this site are mine unless stated otherwise. You are welcome to read them, quote a short passage with a link back, and use any code sample in your own projects. Please do not republish whole articles as your own.
Where I link to someone else's site, that is because I found it useful. I do not control it and I am not responsible for what it says or does.
I keep this site accurate and available, but I do not guarantee either. Advice here is general. It is not a substitute for looking at your actual situation, which is what the first call is for.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Beyond that, I am not liable for loss arising from your use of this website.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
If these terms change, this page changes with them.
