Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't know exactly what's wrong?
That's totally fine—and actually pretty common. Just describe what you're seeing: error messages, screenshots, what you expected vs. what happened. I'll dig in and figure out what's going on. If it turns out to be something outside my wheelhouse, I'll tell you and point you in the right direction.
Do you work with WordPress sites?
Yes. I've worked with WordPress for years—theme customization, plugin conflicts, performance issues, security cleanup, migrations, and custom development. That said, if your goal is a complete redesign, I might recommend a more modern stack depending on your needs.
Can you help with AI/vibe coding projects?
Absolutely. If you've been building with AI tools like Cursor, Copilot, or ChatGPT and hit a wall—whether it's a deployment issue, something that won't work as expected, or you just need someone to review what the AI generated—I can help. I work with these tools daily and understand both their strengths and their common failure modes.
How fast can you start?
For urgent issues, often within 24-48 hours depending on current workload. For larger projects, I'll give you a realistic start date upfront. Retainer clients get priority scheduling.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, happy to sign reasonable NDAs before we discuss anything sensitive. I treat all client information as confidential regardless, but I understand some situations require formal agreements.
What if I need ongoing help but not a full retainer?
You can use hourly as-needed—no minimum commitment required. Some clients just reach out when something comes up. The retainer is there for folks who know they'll need regular support and want the discounted rate and priority access.
Can you manage a team or project for me?
Yes. I have experience leading development teams and managing technical projects. Whether you need help organizing your existing team, setting up processes, conducting code reviews, or serving as a fractional technical lead—we can discuss what would work best for your situation.
