Hire me
Remote contract work with clients in United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates. The three pages below are not the same page with a city swapped — each one covers what is genuinely different about building for that market.
Whichever market you are in, the way we work is the same: a short call to scope the job, a written scope and fixed quote, a staging link from the first week, and a handover your own team can maintain. That process, the ways to engage me, and the questions clients ask most are all below.

How it runs
From first call to handover
- A call about the problemNot about what you want built — about what is not working now. Half the time the thing a client asks for is not the thing that fixes it, and that is worth finding out before anyone quotes.
- Written scope and a fixed quoteYou get the scope in writing: what is included, what is not, the milestones, and the price. Nothing starts until that is agreed, so there is no moving target later.
- Build in milestones, on a live staging linkYou get a staging URL from the first week and watch it fill in, rather than waiting in the dark for a big reveal. Problems surface while they are still cheap to change.
- A proper review roundYou go through it, list what is wrong, and I fix it. Feedback is expected — it is part of the build, not an inconvenience at the end of it.
- Handover you actually ownCode, access, a walkthrough of how to edit things, and documentation for anything non-obvious. No lock-in: you can hand it to another developer tomorrow and they will know where they are.
Ways to work together
Pick whichever fits the work
Price depends on scope, so it comes after the first call rather than off a menu.
Fixed-price project
A defined build with a clear finish line
- One agreed price, set before work starts
- Milestones with a payment against each
- Scope in writing, changes quoted separately
- Best when you know roughly what you need
Hourly
Work that cannot be scoped up front
- Joining an existing codebase
- Debugging, audits and one-off fixes
- Exploratory work where the shape is unclear
- Time logged and reported, no minimum block
Monthly retainer
A site that needs someone on it every month
- A set block of hours each month
- Priority over ad-hoc requests
- Updates, fixes and small features
- Someone who already knows the codebase
Before you ask
Common questions
How long does a build take?
A straightforward marketing site is usually a few weeks; a store or an application with real logic behind it is longer. The honest answer is that it depends on how ready the content is — the delay on most projects is waiting for copy and images, not the code.
What do you need from me to start?
Whatever you already have: existing site, brand assets, content, and a clear sense of what the site has to make happen. If the content is not written yet, say so at the start — it changes the timeline more than any technical decision.
Do you handle hosting and domains?
I set up and deploy to hosting, and I will recommend what suits the project. The accounts stay in your name and you keep the billing, so you are never locked out of your own infrastructure.
Can my team update the site without calling you?
That is the goal on every build. WordPress work is set up so editors can change content without touching layout, and for custom builds I hand over documentation for whatever is not self-evident.
What happens after launch?
You get a period after launch for fixing anything that turns out to be broken — that is part of the build, not extra. After that, ongoing work is either ad-hoc hourly or a monthly retainer, whichever fits how much you actually need.
What if I do not like what you have built?
You will have seen it on staging from the first week, so it should never be a surprise at the end. Review rounds are built into the process, and structural feedback is much cheaper early — which is exactly why you get the link early.
Not in one of those three?
