How it works
Free fit call, written quote before payment, two revision rounds on standard builds, and direct contact with the developer throughout.
01
Fit call & brief
Share goals via the apply form. I confirm whether Discovery or a bounded engagement is the right next step.
02
Discovery or quote
Paid discovery produces a blueprint you own, or a written quote for a tightly scoped website, automation, or portal.
03
Build in milestones
Development with checkpoints — you see progress, not a black box. Milestone payments follow the written agreement.
04
Handover
Access, documentation, and final balance due per your quote and Terms. Client-owned deliverables — no lock-in.
Delivery
How I work
- Scope agreed in writing before payment starts
- Direct communication with the developer on your project
- Two revision rounds included in standard builds
- One accountable person from discovery to launch
I am not technical — can you still help?
Yes. Describe what you need in plain language. I will recommend the right engagement without jargon.

Frequently asked questions
How does payment work?+
Start with a free fit call. Paid discovery or a written quote comes next. Builds typically use milestone payments after scope is agreed in writing — not a public deposit before scope.
How long does a project take?+
Discovery usually takes one to two weeks. Website sprints often land in two to four weeks. Automation and portal projects are scoped after discovery and delivered in agreed milestones.
What if my project doesn't fit a package exactly?+
Submit a request and describe your goals. I will recommend Discovery, Website, Automation, or Portal — or propose a custom phased quote if the scope sits between engagements.
How many revisions are included?+
Two rounds of feedback-based revisions are included in standard website, automation, and portal builds. Additional revision rounds outside the agreed scope can be quoted separately.
Do you work with clients outside Northern Ireland?+
Yes. All client communication is handled remotely via email and video call. I work with clients across the UK, Ireland, and internationally.
What do you need from me to get started?+
Fill in the project inquiry form with as much detail as possible about what you need built. I will reply within 24 hours to discuss next steps.
Who owns the work?+
Upon full payment, you receive ownership or a licence to the agreed deliverables. You get repository and hosting access as specified in your written agreement — no platform lock-in.
