A free working preview before you commit.
The more you tell me here, the better I can build a draft that solves the real problem. This is a no-obligation way to see whether I understand your business and can handle the work.
Note: Free test sites are available for semi-static sites only. I no longer build new WordPress sites.
Common Questions
How long does a project take?
For a semi-static site, I usually have a working draft ready in 3-5 business days and the site launched in 1-2 weeks. Work on an existing WordPress site is quoted by the job. I'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Do you require a deposit?
After the free preview, paid builds are half up front and half on completion, as set out in your written quote.
What if I don't like the test site?
No problem. The test site is free and there's no obligation. If it's not what you wanted, we part as friends.
Can you help with my existing website?
Yes. I can handle updates, fixes, or moving your site to better hosting. More answers on the FAQ page.
