Simian Enterprises is a bespoke application development company founded by Gary Stanton, an experienced developer working by the sea in Brighton, UK.

I've been coding for the web since 1996 - and three decades in, I'm still as interested in it as I was on day one. The industry moves fast, and keeping pace with it is something I genuinely enjoy rather than just endure.

My work centres on bespoke web applications: custom-built tools that automate the repetitive, time-consuming parts of running a business. Clients come to me when off-the-shelf software doesn't quite fit - and I build things that do. I care about writing clean, maintainable code that's easy to hand back, hand over, or build on.

My stack of choice is CFML & JavaScript, backed by decades of real-world production experience.

Outside of client work, I make videogames at SleepyAda.com, and I write occasionally at garystanton.co.uk.
