Fix a broken website
Layout problems, forms that stop sending, errors after an update, conflicts between add-ons, or a site that went down and you don't know why. I find the cause, fix it, and explain what happened in plain language.
Website Help
Website help for small businesses and nonprofits.
Your website is often the first place customers find you, and it needs to work every time they visit. I help small businesses and nonprofits reach more people with websites that load quickly, work for everyone, and are easy to update. You work directly with an experienced engineer who fixes problems, explains things in plain language, and sizes each project to your goals and budget.
Contact meWhat I can help with
Make your website faster
Slow pages lose visitors. I measure what makes your site slow, such as large images, heavy add-ons, or poor settings, and fix the biggest problems first.
Make your website accessible
Many people use screen readers, keyboards, zoom, or other assistive tools. I check your site against the WCAG accessibility guidelines, fix the problems, and give you a short report. Accessibility also helps you meet the requirements that apply to many organizations.
Domains, DNS, and email
Setting up a domain, moving it to a new provider, connecting business email, fixing SSL certificate warnings, or finding out why your emails land in spam. I can sort out these technical settings without breaking what already works.
Updates and maintenance
Keeping your site's software up to date, cleaning up security problems, and removing add-ons and settings you no longer need.
A simple new website
A fast, accessible website with a working contact form and free or low-cost hosting. It is a good choice for organizations that need a clear online presence and want very little maintenance.
A second opinion
Received a quote from an agency, or not sure which platform to choose? I can review your options and give you an honest recommendation.
How engagements work
1
Tell me what you need
Use the contact form, and include your website address and a short description of the problem or goal.
2
Scoping
For small, clear tasks, I reply with questions and a quote. For larger or unclear problems, we start with a short paid scoping session to understand the problem, test assumptions, and agree on scope. If a simpler or cheaper option will solve your problem, I will tell you early.
3
Proposal
You receive a written plan with deliverables, timeline, and pricing, which you can use with me or with anyone else. I bill hourly, monthly, or per project, depending on the work.
4
The work
I work remotely, keep you updated, and document decisions as I go.
5
Handover
Everything I build is documented and ready to maintain. Your accounts, domain, and website stay in your name and under your control.

- Yes. Most of my career has been with mission-driven organizations, including nonprofits, open source projects, and science organizations.
