Do you only work with businesses in Sunbury?

No. I'm based in Sunbury, but I work with businesses across Melbourne and nearby suburbs like Gisborne, Caroline Springs and Taylors Lakes, as well as interstate clients. Most work is done remotely, so as long as we can meet online and share access to your site, we can work together.

Can you just fix my existing website, or do you only build new sites?

I do both. A lot of my work is fixing and improving existing websites - especially slow WordPress sites, clunky marketing sites or React/Vue apps that don't feel quite right. If a full rebuild would honestly be better value, I'll tell you why and give you options.

What platforms and tech do you work with?

I work with WordPress, custom PHP/Laravel backends, and modern frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, Vue and Nuxt. I also set up and maintain headless CMS sites with Storyblok. If you're not sure what your site is built with, I'm happy to take a look and let you know.

How much does it cost to work with you?

Smaller website fixes and audits start from fixed-price packages. Larger projects like a new website are scoped and quoted up-front so you know the cost before we start. There's no surprise hourly creep - we agree the work and price first.

Can you help with speed, SEO and accessibility as well as design/dev?

Yes. A big part of my work is website speed optimisation, Core Web Vitals, basic SEO and accessibility fixes. That's exactly what my Website Speed & SEO Fixes service is for, and I also use my Pagelyze health check as a starting point.

Do you work with agencies as a white-label developer?

Yes. I quietly support agencies that need a reliable developer for tricky frontend, performance or CMS work. If you run an agency and need someone you can trust for React, Vue, WordPress or Storyblok projects, I'm happy to work behind the scenes under your brand.
