FAQ
What services do you offer?
I work across web design, WordPress development, multimedia content creation, branding, and technical problem-solving. If it lives online or on-screen, I can probably help.
Can you build a full website from scratch?
Yes. I can handle everything from design and layout to SEO structure, hosting setup, and launch — using tools like WordPress, ACF, Divi, and more.
Can you help me set up hosting and a domain?
Absolutely. I can guide you through choosing the right host, setting up your domain, SSL, and getting everything connected — or just handle it for you.
Do you work with clients remotely?
Yes. Most of my work is done remotely with clients around the world. I use tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and email to keep communication smooth.
What’s your process for starting a new project?
First, I’ll learn what you need — whether that’s a full site build, content update, or something more custom. From there, I’ll share a proposal and timeline.
Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
Yes. I offer one-time project work and ongoing support options depending on what you need.
How much do you charge?
It depends on the scope. Small projects or fixes may be billed hourly, while full-site builds are quoted as flat-rate packages.
Can I see more examples of your work?
Yes. Just scroll to the portfolio section or click any logo to explore live sites.
Do I need anything before we start?
Not much. A general idea of what you want is enough to begin the conversation and shape the idea. I can help you figure out the rest, from layout and structure to tech and tools. The more photos and videos you have the better though!
