Let's talk

Services

Agency-quality work, one developer to talk to. Here's what I can take off your plate.

  1. New builds

    A custom site on Drupal, WordPress or Astro — built from your designer's files, or designed together from scratch.

    • Content modeling
    • Custom theme
    • CMS training
    • Launch support

  2. Redesigns & migrations

    Move an aging site onto a modern platform without losing content, search rankings or your team's sanity.

    • Content audit
    • Migration scripts
    • Redirect mapping
    • Drupal major upgrades

  3. Care & support plans

    A monthly plan that keeps your site secure and up to date, with time set aside for small changes when you need them.

    • Security updates
    • Core & plugin upgrades
    • Backups
    • Monthly dev hours

  4. Accessibility & speed

    An audit of your current site with a prioritized fix list — and I can make the fixes too.

    • WCAG review
    • Performance audit
    • Remediation

How it works

  1. Intro call

    20 minutes to talk through what you need and whether I'm the right fit.

  2. Scope & proposal

    A clear written plan with timeline and a fixed price.

  3. Build

    Regular check-ins and a staging link you can click through as it comes together.

  4. Launch & care

    Go live, train your editors, and keep it healthy with an optional care plan.

(FAQ)

Do you work with teams outside higher ed?

Yes — nonprofits, small businesses and anyone who needs a site that's easy to keep running.

Can you work from our designer's files?

Yes. I can build from your designer's files, or we can design it together from scratch.

Which CMS should we use?

It depends on your content and your team. Drupal suits larger sites with lots of structured content and editors. WordPress is a good fit when you want something familiar and simple to run. Astro works well for fast, mostly static sites that don't change daily. We'll pick together during scoping.

Will we be able to update the site ourselves?

Yes — that's the point. I model the content around how your team actually works, and every build includes CMS training so your editors can launch pages without calling me.

Will a redesign hurt our search rankings?

Not if the move is planned. Every migration includes a content audit and a redirect map, so old links land on the right new pages and the traffic you've built carries over.

Can you take over a site someone else built?

Usually, yes. I'll start by reviewing the codebase and hosting setup, then let you know what shape it's in before we agree on a care plan or any new work.

What does a care plan cover?

Security updates, core and plugin upgrades, and backups, plus a set number of dev hours each month for small changes and fixes.

Is accessibility included in every build?

Yes. I build to WCAG from the start rather than bolting it on later. If you have an existing site, an audit gives you a prioritized fix list, and I can make the fixes too.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I work in Eastern Time (ET) with clients anywhere, with regular check-ins over video and a staging link you can review at any time.
