STRATEGIC THINKING

Websites that support your business goals

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

Tailored to your business, not a template

DIRECT COMMUNICATION

You work directly with the developer

THE BUSINESS PROBLEM

Your website is a

business asset.

Your website should do more than look good. It should explain what you do, build trust, guide people toward action and give your team a platform that can grow with the business.

01

OUTDATED

Your current website no longer represents the business.


→
02

UNCLEAR

Visitors can't quickly understand what you offer.


→
03

UNDERPERFORMING

Traffic arrives, but enquiries don't follow.


→
OUTDATED → UNCLEAR → UNDERPERFORMING →

Your website should work harder.

PROCESS

From strategy to launch. One experienced developer.

A serious website project involves far more than installing WordPress. The thinking before the build, and the testing and handover after it, are what decide whether the site actually does its job.

FAQ

Common questions

Ask me anything before we start. These cover my process, services and how we can work together.

01
How much does a website project cost?
+

Substantial custom projects, such as a full redesign, a WordPress rebuild or a complex integration, typically range from $10K to $50K+ depending on scope, integrations and how much strategy, UX and design is involved. That is a guide, not a quote. Smaller fixes and focused builds are quoted separately, and I will tell you honestly if a project is not a good fit.

02
Do you work with existing websites?
+

Yes. Most projects start with a site that is outdated, unclear or underperforming. I review the UX, structure and conversion path first, then recommend whether to improve what is there or rebuild it. Migrations onto WordPress are part of the work.

03
Do you design the website too?
+

Yes. Structure, wireframes and UI design are part of the work alongside the WordPress build, so strategy, UX, design and development stay consistent. If you already have designs from your own designer or agency, I can build them faithfully.

04
Do you work with agencies?
+

Yes. My recent roles have been agency roles, building and maintaining client sites for teams in Australia, the UK and Canada. I am used to working to someone else's brief, standards and deadlines as an experienced WordPress development partner.

05
Do you use templates?
+

Not as the design. I build around your content, structure and goals. I use WordPress with Elementor, Divi or custom PHP and JavaScript as the foundation where it helps, but layouts, UX and interface are designed for your business rather than dropped into a fixed template package.

06
How does a project start?
+

You tell me what you are trying to achieve and what is not working. I review it, and you get a clear scope, timeframe and price before any work begins. No work starts until we agree. Please never send passwords or API keys in chat.

07
What hours do you work for US clients?
+

I am in Davao City, Philippines (UTC+8), so US mornings are late evening here. Everything runs in writing rather than on calls: send a request before you log off and you will usually have an update waiting when you are back. I do not promise live overlap I cannot keep.
