Questions clients actually ask

A business website typically takes [4–8] weeks, a custom web application [8–16] weeks, an app [10–16] weeks. The honest bottleneck is usually content and feedback — the faster you deliver text, images, and decisions, the faster we launch. You'll get a concrete timeline in the proposal.

You do. Completely. Code, design, domain, hosting, and every account are in your name from day one. If we ever part ways, you take everything with you — no lock-in, ever.

First, [X weeks] of free aftercare for bugs and small tweaks. After that you choose: a monthly support plan, or a full handover with documentation so your own people (or another developer) can take over. Both are fine by me.

Fair question. Three answers: your project lives in version control with full documentation, so any competent developer can pick it up; all accounts are yours, so nothing is hostage; and for support clients I have [a backup arrangement with a trusted colleague / clear escalation agreements]. Being small doesn't mean being fragile.

Yes — this is a significant part of my work. I start with a paid [audit for €XXX] that tells you the state of the codebase and what fixing it costs. Sometimes the verdict is "rebuilding is cheaper" — you'll hear that honestly.

No. I used to, for years, which is exactly why I don't any more — I've seen how those sites age once the plugin stack starts fighting itself. What I build instead is custom: a site or application that does only what you need, stays fast, and has no monthly plugin licences attached. If WordPress genuinely is the right answer for your project, I'll say so and point you to someone good.

Both. For most projects I handle design and development together, which keeps things fast and consistent. If you already have a designer or brand guidelines, I'm happy to build from those.

Yes. Most communication is by video call and email anyway. For clients in the region I'm happy to meet in person; for everyone else, distance has never been a problem.

Three things: a clear picture of the problem you're solving, your content (or the willingness to work on it), and someone who can make decisions without a committee. That's genuinely it.

See the Pricing page for real ranges. Short version: fixed price agreed before we start, no surprise invoices.

Please do. A small first project is the best way for both of us to find out if we work well together. Most of my long-term clients started with something modest.

Yes, and I'd rather you did. The spec builder on this site is free and needs no account — your draft stays in your own browser. Bring the result and the estimate gets a lot more honest, because we're both looking at the same document.

Yes — that's a service in its own right. I read the merge request line by line and tell you what's safe to ship, ranked by what would actually bite you. It's billed by the minute I spend, excluding BTW, and you can see the minutes.
