HOW I WORK • Quick replies, usually within a few hours • Before I start, I tell you what's wrong, what it takes and how long it should take • I use a staging site when needed, so your live site stays safe • Plain English updates, no tech jargon COMMON QUESTIONS❓ Can you work on a site another developer built? Yes. A lot of my work is picking up where someone else left off and fixing what didn't work. Do you take small jobs? Yes. A one-hour fix is often how a long-term working relationship starts. Hourly or fixed price? Either. Quick fixes usually go hourly, and clearly scoped projects can be fixed price. Send me your site link and a few lines about what's going on. I'll take a look and tell you how I'd handle it.
