Handsome Answers to Common Web Questions

Yes, you will work directly with me throughout the project. I handle most of the actual development work myself, so you are not getting passed through account managers or a faceless production team.

If a project needs specialized help like copywriting, graphic design, training, or paid advertising, I can bring in trusted specialists. Even then, I stay involved and remain your main point of contact.

I have worked with small businesses, professional offices, nonprofits, and other organizations that need a dependable web presence and practical technical help.

Yes, I can show examples and talk through the kinds of projects I have handled, from brochure-style websites to redesigns, WordPress work, and custom database-driven functionality.

I am based in Arlington, Texas, and I have been solving internet and web problems for more than 25 years. That gives me a good feel for the real-world needs of local businesses and organizations.

I also work full-time as a web developer at The University of Texas at Arlington, so this is the kind of work I do every day, not just something I dabble in on the side.

Yes, I do a lot of work on existing websites. Sometimes a site needs cleanup, troubleshooting, performance improvements, content updates, or a partial refresh instead of a full rebuild.

I am comfortable stepping into an existing WordPress site, a custom PHP site, or an older setup that has gotten hard to maintain. Often the smartest move is to improve what you already have instead of starting over.

I use the right tool for the job. That might be WordPress, a custom-coded site, or a database-driven web application, depending on what the business actually needs.

I work in HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript, and I have a lot of experience with WordPress. I am not tied to one platform just because it is popular or easy to sell.

Yes. That is one of the main things that separates me from a lot of general web designers. I am comfortable with custom PHP, MySQL, and database-driven functionality that goes beyond a standard brochure site.

If your business needs member tools, custom workflows, content management beyond stock WordPress behavior, or features tied to real business logic, I can help with that too.

Yes. I help with technical SEO, structured data, local search visibility, and the kind of site clarity that helps both search engines and AI-driven tools understand what your business does.

That includes the basics people often ignore, like crawlability, page speed, site structure, metadata, and useful content planning. I focus on solid long-term improvements, not gimmicks or risky shortcuts.

Yes. I consider those things part of basic modern web work, not expensive add-ons. Your site should work well on phones, load reasonably fast, and be easier for real people to use.

Depending on the project, that can also include security updates, backups, hosting help, accessibility improvements, and technical cleanup that keeps the site from becoming fragile over time.

Yes, I can stay involved after launch. Some clients want hosting and ongoing maintenance. Others just need someone they can call when something breaks, needs updating, or starts acting strange.

I try to match support to what you actually need instead of forcing everyone into the same monthly arrangement. That keeps things practical and easier to budget.

Every project starts with a conversation about your goals, your current situation, and your budget. From there, I recommend a sensible approach and spell out what is included before work begins.

Pricing depends on scope and complexity, whether it is a one-time fix, a full website project, or ongoing support. Ownership and recurring costs like hosting, domains, or premium tools should be clear up front, not buried in surprises later.
