About

CodeKnight is the freelance practice of Daryl Knight, a British Craft CMS specialist and front-end developer based in Finland, serving clients across the UK, US, and beyond. Building websites since 2009, Daryl brings a broad skill set that goes well past front-end code: he takes on roles as development team lead, client liaison, QA tester, accessibility specialist, and go-to troubleshooter for urgent fixes. His work spans everything from coordinating multi-national client teams and rebuilding broken sites to e-commerce builds, server setup, and ongoing site maintenance, with deep, long-standing expertise in Craft CMS.
What sets CodeKnight apart is a focus on direct, responsive communication paired with technical reliability. Daryl works to keep clients firmly in the loop, follows best practices and accessibility standards, and offers straightforward, easy-to-manage control panels so businesses aren't left dependent on a developer for every small change. He's known for building lasting working relationships, staying available for ongoing support, and giving honest, no-nonsense advice, even when that means telling a client a cheaper or different approach would serve them better.

Selected work

LCRA Parks

What was once just a few hard-to-find pages on lcra.org is now it's own colourful, dynamic website showcasing LCRA’s parks with filterable maps and an intuitive event calendar. It allows staff to easily manage activities, third party events, park information and the various services they offer. The site is fully accessible and has heavy integration with Google Maps; from park amenities and land development information to a Colorado River paddling guide. The site was recognized as an Honoree in the 29th Webby Awards.

SOLV Energy

SOLV Energy construct a huge range of solar projects across the world. The website project was part of a large rebrand and includes a sophisticated projects section where you can view all their 500+ projects integrated with Google Maps, paginated with instant filtering. The refreshing, bold design has given them total control over their website, with the ability to add new pages using a large number of content blocks.

Bank of Guam

The Bank of Guam website was an interesting multi-timezone challenge; communicating with teams in Guam and California to build and launch the bank's new site from the ground up. We worked closely with their enterprise architecture team to comply with all the security and access requirements, and assisted with getting the site live on their chosen hosting platform.

The new site makes it clear for personal and business customers where to find the info they need, features a Google Maps integration for ATMs and branches, interest calculators, two blogs and Single Sign On for the client to login to Craft CMS using their existing user directory.

SBI Materials

SBI sell a huge variety of materials to construction companies in Sonoma County, CA. Their goal of the new site was to make it easy for customers find materials for their next project.

The project involved importing a huge amount of materials and images automatically to save SBI the time, and provides a categorised, filterable catalogue to make it easy to browse everything. There's also a filterable portfolio gallery, blog, resources section and profiles on all the team members.
