About Real Code

Real Code is Brad McAllister — a senior developer who has been building websites and solving technical problems for UK businesses since 2014. You deal directly with the person doing the work.

No corporate jargon, no impossible promises. After 18+ years building websites and software, I work with local SMEs who need a fast, effective brochure site, schools needing secure portals, and larger organisations needing complex database and cloud integrations.

My approach

A lot of agencies build disposable websites. I take a different path: reliable, proven technologies like Astro, TypeScript, and Microsoft Azure that stay stable for years — and fixed-price contracts, so you know the cost before work starts, with no scope creep or hidden extras.

What I do:

  • Web Design & Development: Creating fast, accessible, and responsive websites designed to generate genuine leads and perform well in search engines.
  • Education Sector Solutions: Developing specialised, secure platforms and integrations tailored specifically to the unique needs of UK schools.
  • Bespoke Software & Integrations: Delivering complex .NET, SQL Server, and cloud architecture projects for clients ranging from ambitious startups to institutions like the University of London.
  • Technical Consultancy: Providing expert guidance on GDPR compliance, security audits, database administration, and technical rescues for failing digital projects.

Why work with me?

When you work with Real Code you deal directly with me — the senior developer who does the work. No account managers, no hand-offs, no explaining your business twice.

For most businesses, technology is a means to an end: systems that work, generate revenue and don't break when you're not looking. That's what I build — and I stick around, adapting things as your business grows.

Your domain, hosting, code and logins are registered in your name, and the source is always backed up — in GitHub, or as full backups for WordPress sites — so you are never dependent on one person, and never locked in.
