What is your top platform specialty?

WordPress

How long have you been building websites?

18 years

Are you more designer or developer?

Developer and Engineering manager

Who is your ideal client/project?

The best client is one who is prepared to be involved from the first idea to the final deployment. I've worked with struggling musicians who need a webpage in exchange for an old guitar, and clients with multi-million dollar retainers. The ideal project is a moving target. Stakeholders who like sharing early and often, a central repository of truth, living documentation, project roadmaps beyond the current quarter, and structure to balance inspiration. Each organization has a different methodology, but communication is key in all relationships.

Do you charge by project or hour? What is your rate or typical project fee?

50-75 depending on if I'm managing a team, or just programming.

Do you offer services beyond website builds?

Social media management

What's your SEO level? Page Speed level?

Both are related. I take a holistic approach where semantic markup and a11y are the foundation that enable dynamic asset management, tag management, and smart content creation.

Tell me anything else I should know before I refer a client to you and share 3 links to recent projects you've done.

I have extensive knowledge of WordPress and PHP, including database management, integration with 3rd party backend technologies, creating mobile APIs, developing specs and requirements based on client needs and analytics, internationalization, gamification, social media management, and agile team management.
