Available for freelance web work!

Got a problem with your WordPress website that needs fixing?

Updates or changes needed?

Finding the technical side of your website a hassle?

Work needed on your website that you don't have time to do yourself?

I'm available for freelance web work!

Whether it's problems with your website that need fixing, or a large project.

Happy to work with you on...

  • Large projects.
  • Small projects and fixes.
  • Fixing a few issues.
  • Ongoing maintenance/support.
I often work with sole traders, self employed and one-person businesses - most of my work is  supporting client's existing websites (e.g. fixing problems, making changes, etc.) rather than websites created myself.

15+ years experience (I've even written a book on WordPress!)

Why hire me?

  • 15+ years experience (I'm NOT someone who has done an Internet course and become an overnight expert)
  • I've even written a book on WordPress!
  • Development/coding background, so can fix and resolve a lot of technical issues.
  • I'll recommend the best solutions, even if it means I don't get the work.
  • You'll NEVER receive copy/paste answers, tickets, chatbots or outsourced call centre responses from me.
  • Not just large projects - a lot of my work is small one-off fixes, making a few changes, etc. for existing websites created by other people.

Ensuring your website is running smoothly, so you have peace of mind and can focus on your business.

Monthly Website Maintenance / Support

 Do you...

  • Struggle to manage your website?
  • Find looking after updates and backups overwhelming?
  • Not have time to deal with the technical aspects?
  • Frustrated with fixing technical issues with your website?
  • Need peace of mind that your website is always running smoothly?
  • Looking for someone to provide technical support and answers to your questions?
I offer a caretaker service as a monthly subscription!

I'll look after the technical side of your website - technical support, updates, and maintenance - providing you with peace of mind, so you can focus on your content and business.


I'll take care of...
  • Ensuring your website is backed up regularly.
  • Install updates.
  • Provide you with technical support.
  • Resolving any problems you may have with your website, and answering any questions about your website you may have.
(Just like a caretaker of a building will ensure everything is working, sort out any repairs, although not responsible for any major changes or building work!)

Providing you (and your business) with peace of mind!

Saving you time, hassle, and potentially money. So you can focus on your business.

Why hire me?
  • 15+ years experience working in IT, software and websites (I'm NOT someone who has done an Internet course and become an overnight expert)
  • I've even written a book on WordPress!
  • Development background, so can fix and resolve a lot of technical issues.
No tickets, no outsourced call centres, no copy/paste answers - support direct from me!


Ideal for...
  • Self employed.
  • Sole traders.
  • One-person businesses.
  • Small business owners.
Only £55 per month (or £660 per year).
No long-term contracts - cancel anytime!

A subscription can work out more cost effective then paying an hourly rate when you encounter problems with your website, or require additional help.

This price takes into consideration that during some months, there may be a lot of work and issues, while at other times, there may not be much to do.
