01How this works

No mystery, no drift, no disappearing

The four things clients say go wrong with software projects — addressed before you commit to anything.

Replies within one working day

Messages reach me directly, not a shared inbox. You will not be chasing an update or wondering whether anyone read it.

A scoping call before any money moves

Thirty minutes to work out what you actually need. If the honest answer is that you do not need me, I will say so.

Fixed scope, fixed price

The quote lists what is included and what is not. It does not move mid-project unless you ask for something new.

Progress you can see

A working link you can open, updated as the build progresses. No month of silence followed by a reveal.

03Standards

Three things I will not cut

01

Built to be fast, not just to look fast

Performance is a budget decided before the first component is written, not a cleanup pass at the end. Pages are measured on a throttled mobile connection, because that is how most people will actually open them.

02

Maintainable after handover

The interesting question is not whether it launches. It is whether it can change in year two. Content lives in files you can edit, the structure is documented, and nothing depends on me being reachable.

03

Secure and compliant by default

Security headers, validated inputs, rate limiting and no secrets in the browser — configured from the first commit rather than bolted on after a scare. Accessibility held to WCAG AA throughout.

04Comparison

Where a small studio fits

An honest read on the trade-offs. There are projects a freelancer or a large agency genuinely suits better — this is where I do not.

Start with the problem, not the spec.

Describe what is not working. I will tell you what it would take to fix, what it would cost, and whether it is worth doing at all.
