About
Twenty years of shipping software that lasts
I've been writing code since the days of dBase, FoxPro and C++, and moved with the web as it grew — through PHP, WordPress and modern JavaScript. That history means I know how systems age, and I build accordingly: clean code, sensible structure, documentation that outlives me.
Most of my clients stay for years, not one project. I fix what breaks, extend what works, and tell you plainly when something isn't worth building.

All packages are scoped estimates. Final pricing is confirmed after a short scope discussion.
How much will my project cost?
It depends on scope. After the discovery call you get a fixed quote before any work starts — no hourly surprises unless you specifically want time-and-materials work.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes — 50% upfront to begin, and the balance on delivery. Monthly maintenance plans are billed at the start of each month.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer or PayPal. PayPal payments carry a 6% processing fee. Invoices are sent by email with clear terms and due dates.
Are there costs after launch?
Only if you want them — hosting and domains are billed by your provider, not me. Ongoing maintenance is optional and priced separately.
