Independent Web Developer – Portland, OR

 Available for new projects

I stay out of sight.
Your website doesn’t.

Working with small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and agencies that need a reliable dev partner behind the scenes.

Already have a site?

I work with what you’ve got.

Whether you want it off your plate entirely or just need extra capacity on an existing project. Both work with me.

A - Full Takeover

I take it over completely.

I take ownership of your existing site end-to-end. I manage migration, audits, modernization, and hosting. You hand off the access; I handle everything from there.

  • Migration & performance audit
  • Managed hosting, backups & updates
  • One point of contact for everything

Project + hosting from $50/mo

B - Hourly Support

I work by the hour.

Already have a developer or a codebase? I work inside your existing project for features, fixes, and overflow. Billed hourly, no retainer required.

  • Drop into your repo & workflow
  • Features, bug fixes & code review
  • No long-term commitment

From $80/hr

FAQ

Common questions.

What does a website cost?

Most projects start around $2.5k and scale with scope. You get a flat, itemized quote before any work begins.

How long does it take?

A typical site runs 3-5 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and content readiness. Fixed deadlines can be accommodated.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. Sites ship with a customized CMS for editing products, posts, and case studies directly. No code required.

I already have a site. Can you take it over?

Yes. I can migrate and host it for you completely, or work within your existing codebase by the hour. Whichever fits the project.

Do you only work with Portland businesses?

No. I’m based in Portland, OR and work with clients remotely anywhere in the US.
