Working directly
You work directly with the developer
There is no account manager between you and the work. I review the requirements, write the code and answer your questions myself.
01
Clear technical feedback
You hear what is actually involved in a change, including when something is a bad idea or cheaper to do another way.
02
Fewer handoffs
The person reviewing your requirements is the person writing the code, so nothing gets lost being relayed.
03
Existing-site troubleshooting
Most of my work is on sites that already exist. Reading someone else's code and finding the real cause is a large part of the job.
04
Maintainable solutions
Sections your team can edit, code the next developer can follow, and no unnecessary dependencies added along the way.
05
Practical recommendations
Priorities based on what will actually help your store or site, not on what makes a bigger project.
06
Long-term support
Several clients — including Focus LCDs, Tekto Knives, Zibby Media, Brightlink AV and ERA — work with me on a monthly retainer basis. I am set up for ongoing work, not just one-off launches.

Web Development for Buffalo and Western New York Businesses
I’m located in the Lockport/Buffalo area, so local businesses can work with a developer in the same time zone who can meet when it makes sense. Most work happens remotely, and that suits clients across Niagara County and Western New York just as well as clients further away.
