What clients usually need
An outdated site that no longer reflects the business
When the current website feels old, slow to update, or harder to trust, a focused rebuild or refresh can make enquiries easier and reduce ongoing friction.
Reliable support
CMS help that does not stop at small fixes
I can help with template changes, feature extensions, cleanups, and practical troubleshooting when your WordPress or Joomla site needs more than patchwork updates.
Beyond plugins
Custom web apps for specific workflows
If the business process is unusual or your team needs a lightweight internal tool, I can design and build something more tailored than an off-the-shelf add-on.
How projects usually start
The process is simple on purpose. You can start with a short email, and I will let you know whether the work is a fit before we commit to anything further.
- Send the goal, the current website or system, and any timeframe you have in mind.
- I reply with initial questions, likely scope, and whether the job suits my availability and working style.
- If it looks like a match, I provide next steps and a quote for a realistic delivery schedule.
Start with an email
Send a short outline of your project, goals, and preferred timeframe. I will reply with next steps and let you know whether the work is a good fit.
Request a QuoteEmail is the fastest way to start. I usually take on projects that are well-scoped and can be planned around weekend work.
How I can help
- build a small-business website with WordPress or Joomla when you need a dependable launch path
- improve an existing CMS website with design, template, plugin, or content structure changes
- plan and build a custom web application when the workflow does not fit a standard plugin
- work from a clear brief and realistic timeline with steady email communication throughout delivery
Working style
Clear scope, clear expectations
Because I work part-time, the best projects are the ones that can be broken into sensible stages, reviewed calmly, and delivered without artificial urgency.
Not ideal
Probably not the right fit for rush work
If you need same-day turnaround, constant phone availability, or a large agency-style team, I am unlikely to be the right option. I prefer work that values clarity and considered delivery.
Client feedback
"Thanks for all your help, you did it all in a week and I am impressed. I will not hesitate to recommend you to others and am happy to provide a testimonial for your website."
This client came in with an older Joomla site that had stalled and needed to be turned into a professional business website quickly. The project moved forward through clear email feedback, rapid staging updates, and practical explanations about what could and could not be changed.

Pricing
Projects are quoted individually based on scope, complexity, and timeframe. I work as a part-time freelancer, usually on weekends, so I am best suited to clients who want experienced help, clear communication, and a realistic delivery schedule.
If you send through your project details, I can let you know whether it is a fit, what the next step should be, and provide a quote where appropriate.
