I do the work for you (Done-for-you)

👩‍💻 Web Development – I build you a website/webpage based on the design mockup/website example you provide.

🧰 Web Support – I provide weekly ongoing web support including web maintenance & updates, web optimization, and small edits.

🛠️ Web Troubleshooting – I fix errors or other website problems for you, such as slow load time, backup issues, disconnected tools, etc.

I show you how to do the work (Do-it-yourself)

I teach you how to do all the done-for-you services, WordPress for beginners, and more 🙂 Wanna learn the following?

  • How to navigate WordPress and set up your site for ease of use?
  • How to identify existing website security measures and properly secure your site?
  • Simple steps to maintain your site weekly to make it fast, secure, and sustainable. 
  • Easiest ways to make your site more sustainable.

Beyond a website that works,
I make it greener & more lightweight

by adopting sustainable web design. I focus on doing the following:

🔐 Secure the site

Set site security measures right before doing any work. Back up site files & database, and update tools routinely.

🔨 Use lightweight & high-quality tools

That produce cleaner code or a more seamless workflow–this might include paid products.

👩‍💻 Create a solid development workflow

Build templates & set up reusable elements to save time whenever building a new page.

⌚ Speed up load time

Optimize images (compress, convert, lazy-load) and cache the site data to reduce server requests.

When everything combines, your site becomes more sustainable! It’s better optimized, not bloat or cause stress to your server–thus it uses less electricity to run.
