Services
Concrete problems. Concrete fixes.
Four services, each aimed at a specific situation. Read the one that sounds like you — every section links straight to what it costs.
Custom builds & migrations
What it is
Websites that do something — not just sit there. When a drag-and-drop builder can’t handle the logic you need, or you’re ready to move an existing site onto something faster, cheaper to run and fully yours, this is the work. Migrations are done carefully: your content, your search rankings and your access all come across intact.
Who it’s for
Businesses whose needs have grown past a template, and anyone who wants off a DIY platform without the usual “we rebuilt it and lost half our Google traffic” horror story.
What’s included
- New builds on fast, low-maintenance modern stacks (static sites, WordPress where it fits)
- Migrations off Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or an old custom site
- Content and URL mapping so SEO and inbound links survive the move
- Custom logic: bookings, forms, calculators, third-party integrations
- Domain, DNS and email moved over without downtime
- You end up owning every account and login involved
Rescues & fixes
What it is
The “I don’t know why my site is like this and I can’t fix it” service. Maybe you’ve lost the login. Maybe the person who built it vanished. Maybe you’re trapped on a DIY platform that owns your domain, your content and your invoice, and won’t let you leave cleanly. I specialise in getting in, working out what actually happened, and getting you back in control — including the messy ownership and access side that most people don’t know how to untangle.
Who it’s for
Anyone locked out of their own site, staring at a broken page, or realising too late that they don’t actually own the thing their business runs on.
Live example: This is not hypothetical. A DIY-builder lockout is exactly the kind of situation I’m untangling right now — the anonymized version is written up in Insights. Read the write-up →
What’s included
- Access recovery — regaining control of the site, domain, hosting or accounts
- Ownership verification and transfer into your name, not a freelancer’s or agency’s
- Untangling DIY-platform lock-in (who owns the domain, the content, the data)
- Diagnosing and fixing broken pages, forms, checkouts and integrations
- A clear written picture of what was wrong and what I changed
- Straight advice on whether to fix in place or plan a move
Ongoing maintenance & security
What it is
A website is not a “build it and forget it” thing — it’s software, and software rots if nobody tends it. This is the recurring technical care that keeps yours fast, patched and unhacked, plus the peace of mind of having an actual person to call the moment something looks wrong, instead of googling in a panic at 11pm.
Who it’s for
Business owners who don’t want to become their own IT department, and anyone who’d rather prevent the emergency than pay for the rescue.
What’s included
- Software, plugin and dependency updates kept current
- Security patching and hardening against common attacks
- Uptime and health monitoring so I often spot problems before you do
- Backups you can actually restore from
- A defined response time when something breaks
- A human who already knows your setup — no re-explaining it every time
Strategy & consulting
What it is
Sometimes you don’t need someone to build it — you need someone competent to tell you the truth about it. An audit, a second opinion, a plan you can hand to whoever does the work. No implementation, no upsell to a build you don’t need. Just clear technical direction so you make the expensive decision once, correctly.
Who it’s for
Teams with their own developers who want an outside review, and owners weighing a big decision — replatform, rebuild, or leave it alone — who want honest input first.
What’s included
- Technical and SEO audits of an existing site
- Platform and stack recommendations for what you’re trying to do
- Migration and rebuild planning (scope, risks, sequence)
- A written summary you own and can act on with anyone
- A straight answer on whether you even need to spend the money
- No obligation to hire me for the build afterward
