Services

Built to last,
priced to be fair.

Five focused services, one honest hourly rate. I don't sell retainers I can't justify or packages that paper over the work. Every project starts with a conversation about what you actually need, and ends when it's actually done.

SERVICE / 01
Available

Bespoke WordPress development

Custom WordPress sites built from the ground up using Elementor. Fast, scalable, and built for your specific business needs. From concept to launch, I handle design translation, customisation, and everything in between.

E-commerce that converts. Whether you're B2C or B2B, I build online stores that work, scale, and sell. Product catalogues, payment gateways, tax configuration, and optimisation all handled with care.

Performance & speed

A slow site hurts conversions and SEO. I diagnose what's actually slowing things down, then fix it. Expect meaningful speed improvements through technical optimisation, code cleanup, and sensible server configuration.

Updates, backups, malware protection, and someone who actually cares about your site. Peace of mind while you focus on your business. For clients who want the technical side handled so it doesn't break.

Integrations & custom work

CRM hookups, payment platforms, booking systems, headless setups, custom plugins and bespoke functionality. The work that doesn't fit neatly into a template and usually needs someone who's seen it before.

STEP 01

We talk it through

A conversation about what you need, what your timeline looks like, and whether I'm the right fit. No pitch, no pressure. If your project would be better served by an agency or a different specialist, I'll say so.

30–60 min
STEP 02

I give you an estimate

A realistic hours range, based on 8+ years of similar work. Not a fixed quote designed to hedge against scope creep. If new requirements come up mid-project, we adjust the estimate together instead of arguing about what was 'included'.

Within 48h
STEP 03

We build it

Weekly check-ins, staging environments for review, and billing against actual hours worked. You'll see progress as it happens, not at a big reveal. Most projects run 4–8 weeks from kick-off to launch.

4–8 weeks

Common questions

Ask yours →
Why hourly instead of fixed quotes?
Fixed quotes usually pad 30–50% for risk, and they make both sides defensive about scope. Hourly means you only pay for work actually done, and scope changes become a conversation instead of a renegotiation. After 8+ years, my estimates are usually within 10–15% of final hours.
Do you work with agencies or only direct clients?
Both. About a third of my work is white-label for agencies who need an Elementor specialist. I work under your brand, attend client calls if useful, and bill you directly. Happy to sign NDAs.
How long until my project starts?
Usually 2–4 weeks out, depending on current workload. For urgent rescue work or small jobs, I can often start within a week. I'd rather tell you honestly than overbook.
What about ongoing support after launch?
You have a few options. Most clients transition to the Support & maintenance plan ($99/mo). Some keep me on call for ad-hoc work at the standard hourly rate. A few are happy to hand off to their internal team with documentation.
Where are you based and what timezone do you work in?
South Africa (GMT+2). That's a 2-hour overlap with UK morning and enough overlap with US East Coast afternoons for meetings. Most of my clients never notice the timezone because I answer email and Slack throughout their day.
