With over 25 years of hands-on website experience and 8 years as a full-time freelancer, I've shaped my services around what businesses actually need. This isn't theory - it's the result of fixing real problems on real websites, every day.
Clients usually come to me when something's stuck, broken, or holding them back. Maybe it's an SEO audit to find out what's going wrong. Maybe they're planning a site migration and want it handled properly. Or maybe the tracking's a mess, or the site just isn't pulling in the traffic it should.
Whatever the issue, these are the four areas I'm called in to sort most often. If you're here, there's a good chance one of them sounds familiar.
Over the years, these are the four services I get asked for most. Each one is built around fixing real issues, not selling shiny packages. If one sounds like what you need, click through to find out more.
