Skills and stack

The toolkit behind the work.

The languages, frameworks and platforms I use to ship web apps, browser extensions, websites and online stores.

Showing Front-end, 01 / 06

01

Front-end

Hand-written, responsive interfaces that load fast and look right on every screen.

Process

A simple process with no surprises.

You always know what's happening, what's next, and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We start with a short call to align on your goals and what success looks like. I'll ask for any access I need up front.

  2. 02

    Audit and setup

    For existing sites, I audit the current setup, fix urgent bugs, and organize the workflow. For new builds, I map out pages, content, and features first.

  3. 03

    Build

    I get to work on the deliverables and share clear progress updates as things come together, so you're never left guessing.

  4. 04

    Launch and support

    We review everything together, make final revisions, and go live. I'm still around afterward for updates and fixes.

FAQ

Questions people usually ask.

Mostly founders, store owners, and small teams. That includes startups launching their first site, WordPress site owners who need updates or fixes, and Shopify or WooCommerce stores.

Yes. A lot of my work is improving sites that already exist: fixing bugs, speeding things up, cleaning up stores, and keeping WordPress up to date.

It depends on scope. After a short conversation about what you need, you get a written quote with a clear price, timeline, and list of what's included before any work starts.

Me. You work directly with the developer doing the work, not an account manager. You'll get clear updates as the project moves forward.

Yes. I handle plugin and theme updates, backups, security checks, speed improvements, and small edits. Ask about it when we talk and I'll suggest an arrangement that fits your site.
