What I fix — and how it works.
Every job starts with an honest look and a fixed price agreed up front. No open-ended hourly meters, no jargon, no leaving you worse off than you started.
“My WooCommerce checkout fails and I'm losing sales.”
WordPress & WooCommerce fixes
Broken checkouts, booking forms and plugin conflicts — fixed.
When a plugin update breaks your store, a form stops sending, or the dreaded white screen appears, I find the real cause and fix it — without breaking three other things in the process.
What's included
- Diagnose and fix checkout, payment and booking failures
- Resolve plugin/theme conflicts and PHP errors
- Recover from failed updates and the “white screen of death”
- Tidy up after the fix so it doesn't come straight back
“My site is painfully slow and people leave before it loads.”
Speed & performance
A site that loads fast and stops costing you visitors.
Slow sites lose customers and rank worse on Google. I measure what's actually slowing yours down — images, bloated plugins, hosting, render-blocking code — and fix the things that move the needle.
What's included
- Real-world performance audit (Core Web Vitals)
- Image, caching, and asset optimisation
- Remove or replace what's dragging the site down
- Before/after measurements so you can see the difference
“I've got a security warning / my site was hacked.”
Security & hardening
Malware cleared, the hole closed, and the site locked down.
If your site's been hacked or is flashing an SSL warning, the priority is cleaning it up and closing the door that let it in. Then I harden things so it's a much harder target next time.
What's included
- Malware cleanup and blacklist removal
- Fix SSL/HTTPS and mixed-content warnings
- Security headers, logins, and file-permission hardening
- Updates and a plain-english summary of what happened
“I need to move hosts and I'm terrified it'll go down.”
Migrations, done calmly
Moved to better hosting with no nasty surprises.
Moving a live site is where things go wrong — broken links, lost emails, downtime. I plan the move, test it on a staging copy first, and switch over cleanly so visitors barely notice.
What's included
- Host-to-host or platform migration, planned in advance
- Tested on a staging copy before anything goes live
- DNS, email and SSL handled so nothing drops
- Aim for zero (or near-zero) downtime on switchover
“I just want someone to keep an eye on it so it stops breaking.”
Ongoing care plan
Updates, backups and monitoring — handled monthly.
A monthly care plan for business owners who don't want to think about updates and backups. I keep things current, watch for problems, and you have a senior engineer on call when something's wrong.
What's included
- Regular updates, backups and uptime monitoring
- Monthly check-over and a short plain-english report
- Priority response when something breaks
- Simple, predictable monthly pricing — ask for current rates
“I need my site to talk to my other tools — and stop doing it by hand.”
Integrations & automation
Your site, payments and tools working together.
Connect your site to the tools you already use — payments, CRMs, booking systems, email, spreadsheets — and automate the manual copy-paste work that's eating your time.
What's included
- Payment, CRM and booking-system integrations
- APIs and webhooks wired up reliably
- Automate repetitive manual tasks
- Documented so you know how it works
1. Honest assessment
I look properly and tell you what's really going on — even if that's “you don't need me”.
2. Fixed price up front
You approve a set price before any work begins. No surprise invoices.
3. Fixed & checked
I do the work, test it, and confirm nothing else broke. Then a short plain-english summary.
