Senior digital work,
on the terms that fit.

15 years of platform leadership sit behind every engagement, whether I'm steering a digital organization, delivering a build, or launching a site for a local business. There are three ways to work together.

01How I help

Three ways to work together

01 · Fractional leadership

Fractional digital leadership

For teams that need senior platform and digital leadership without a full-time hire.

Platform strategy and modernization, headless and composable CMS direction, engineering team leadership and hiring, AI enablement, and roadmap and delivery oversight. It gives your team senior leadership to lean on without the cost or commitment of a full-time director.

  • Platform & digital strategy
  • Composable / headless CMS direction
  • Engineering team leadership & hiring
  • AI enablement & modernization

Ongoing monthly engagement · typically 15–25 hrs/month

02 · Project work

Web & platform projects

For teams whose next build is more involved, with several stakeholders, more moving parts, and a site that has to perform.

Full design and build on a modern stack (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Vercel) that stays fast under load and easy to maintain. The code stays clean enough that your team or the next developer can pick it up without trouble.

  • Discovery, architecture & content planning
  • Performance, accessibility & SEO
  • Analytics and third-party integrations
  • Code that's documented and handed over cleanly

Fixed-scope project · written proposal and timeline

03 · Small business & community

Sites for small businesses

For local businesses and community organizations that need a site that looks right and is easy to maintain.

Fast, mobile-first sites with content you can update yourself. I handle the build, the launch, and the DNS, then either manage it for you or hand it over with clear instructions.

  • Mobile-first, accessible design
  • Editable content, no code required
  • Launch & DNS handled for you
  • Optional ongoing maintenance

Flat project fee · optional monthly maintenance

02Build projects

What you can count on

The rest of this page covers how I run a build, whether that's a larger platform project or a small-business site. Every one ships with these as standard. Fractional engagements work differently, so we shape those over a conversation.

Fast and mobile-first

Built on Next.js, deployed on Vercel. Pages load quickly on any device, anywhere.

No surprises

You see a working preview before anything goes live. If something isn't right, we fix it.

Launch support

I handle the deploy and DNS setup. You get a live URL with no loose ends.

Ongoing partnership

Need changes after launch? I can handle updates, add pages, or make bigger changes on an ongoing basis. Or I'll hand it over with clear instructions if you'd rather manage it yourself.

03Process

How a build comes together

From the first conversation to launch, with short, clear steps and no surprises along the way.

01

Brief

One conversation about what you need, who it's for, and what success looks like.

02

Preview

I build a working site and share a live preview URL for you to click through.

03

Review

We go back and forth until it's right. Most projects land in one or two rounds, and there's no hard limit.

04

Launch

I push it live. After that, I can manage it for you on an ongoing basis, or hand it over with clear instructions for self-management.

05Get in touch

Let's talk about your project.

Tell me what you need and I'll give you a clear sense of scope and cost before any work starts.
