Salon furniture websites, 3D configurators and software
I’m a web developer. I work on online shops, 3D product tools and business software. Since 2017, I’ve helped salon furniture manufacturers and retailers in the UK and worldwide bring their products and ideas online.
Discuss your product rangeTry the demos
Let customers set up products and try room layouts in their browser. They don’t need CAD or 3DS Max to compare finishes, test an idea or send your team a clearer enquiry.

Broader technology. Built around your industry.
I build tools that let people choose products and plan rooms. They can be adapted to many trades. Salon furniture is one I know well. I have built tools for it, I own the software behind them, and I have clients in the trade.
- Product configuration
Let customers explore supported finishes and options. A salon chair is one use of tools that can serve many kinds of product.
- Interior planning
Bring products together in a room. The same design tools can be adapted to salon layouts, catalogues and customer journeys. Compare planning and product configuration.
- Connected websites
Put those experiences into a useful website, with a clear path to an enquiry, a quote or a sale.
I can show you past work and demos, then talk through how it could fit your business.
Explore the demonstrations →Built around the complexity of real products.
Your customer sees a simple finish choice. Behind it sit a product model, material rules and a way to load content. My research and client work join those parts up, so a complex range looks simple.
More choice. Much more content.
Four parts, each with its own finish. One camera view. See how fast the number of combinations grows.
Development shaped around your business.
Your project might start with a website, an interactive product experience or a business process that needs better software. I use my wider development work and my salon furniture experience to plan the right mix.
| You need | I can deliver | The customer gains |
|---|---|---|
| Interior design tools | Adaptable room-planning technology, catalogue preparation and integration. | Your furniture considered as part of a complete salon. |
| Product configurator | Configuration technology adapted to your models, materials and product rules. | A clearer view of their preferred finish. |
| 3D content | Product modelling, material preparation and configurable imagery. | Visual information that explains the range. |
| Ecommerce website | Shopify or WordPress design and development. | A coherent route from browsing to enquiry or purchase. |
| Business software | Custom tools and integrations scoped around your processes. | More useful connections between the website and your team. |
Can I start with a small product collection?
Yes. Start with a collection that represents your range. It gives us a clear first release, an agreed look and a simple way to add more products later. Send me your product list and any images or models you already have.
How do development and licensing work?
We agree what needs building, what it connects to and what support you need. If it uses software I already own, we also agree a licence and where it can be used. The deal fits the project, not the other way round.
Industry experience you can inspect.
Salon furniture has been a big part of my work since 2017. Research, paid projects and long-term clients have shaped tools now used by makers and sellers in the UK and abroad.
- 2017Applied researchProduct visualisation work within an MMU Knowledge Transfer Partnership.
- 20192D configurator released3D assets and automated image production supported the customer interface.
- 2020MSc by ResearchThe work documented at Manchester Metropolitan University.
- 2021 onwardsIndependent 3D platformPraxis Pro: independent browser-based product configuration and commercial deployments.
Services I have created have been used on more than 100 websites. That includes websites carrying manufacturers’ products, alongside direct project work.
REM was one salon furniture use of Praxis Pro. That is the wider platform I built on my own from 2021, after the MMU research. Retailers selling REM products used my configurator through that rollout. They benefited from the technology, alongside my direct client work. These rollouts show how a general tool becomes useful in one industry. It took catalogue preparation, retailer distribution and ongoing development. The retailer rollout guide shows how one set of tools can serve many retailers, each with its own range.

Praxis Pro does more than salon furniture. These four portfolio concepts are my own. They show how the same approach can work for other products, layouts and ways of choosing.

What could better development do for your business?
A stronger website, a clearer product experience or software built around your team: let’s discuss the opportunity and a useful first phase. I can also walk you through relevant previous work and demonstrations.
Send your website and a short brief. For a phone call, include your number, preferred time and time zone.
