why work with me
1) narrow expertise
An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field and I’ve made my share of mistakes in 11 years of doing WordPress work.
2) minimum friction
I’m easy to communicate with, quick at completing the tasks, and provide exactly what you ask for as long as the scope is clear and expectations are realistic.
3) adaptability
The more projects we work on together, the easier it gets. I’m flexible, adaptable and able to quickly learn your processes, challenges and SOPs.
4) guaranteed availability
Retainers ensure you aren’t stuck waiting weeks for me to complete tasks and I only take on a maximum of 1 – 2 clients for each retainer plan.
5) no quality drift
To provide quality work at all times I do my best to operate like a part of your team – same standards, same attention to detail, same accountability.
6) relationships over profit
I aim to build healthy long-lasting relationships with my clients and prioritize balance, transparency, communication and understanding over quick profits.

General Questions
How do we communicate?
Normally all communication is done via Slack but if you prefer some other way to communicate and discuss tasks and projects we can use it instead. Also in case you do not have a Slack account yet I can invite you to my workspace if you prefer that instead of creating your own.
What are your working hours?
I am generally online and able to reply to messages and requests quickly during AEST business hours.
How long does it usually take you to complete the tasks?
Turnaround depends on my availability and workload which varies every week, I try to get things done as quickly as possible whenever possible.
Can you handle urgent requests?
I’ll try to do my best but it depends on circumstances.

There’s a lot more I can do, if you have specific requirements please let me know.
Do you only work with WordPress?
I am most comfortable working with WordPress and most experienced with it but I am also familiar with Shopify, Webflow and Squarespace.
Time Tracking & Transparency
How do you track time?
I use Toggle to track time accurately and to generate detailed breakdowns of hours worked. Time logs can be provided anytime upon request and at the end of each billing cycle (see example report).
Can we hire you on Upwork?
I’m open to be hired via Upwork for hourly billed work at my current rate of $64/hour. For monthly retainers I prefer to be hired directly.
Do unused hours roll over?
I don’t allow unused time to “roll over” to the next month as that would introduce unnecessary chaos to my schedule but at the same time I would never feel right about billing for hours I didn’t work. The only reason I don’t do roll-overs is to encourage my clients to keep me busy and if the amount of work you have for me fizzles out for one reason or another you can always downgrade or cancel the retainer with a 30-day notice.
What about overages?
When your allotted hours are close to running out I will notify you and will confirm if you’d like to wait until the next billing cycle or if you’d like me to continue working on whatever tasks or projects we have going at the moment. I will also provide a written estimate for the overages. I will not complete extra work without your permission. Overage hours will be billed at my standard rate of $64/hr.
Billing
How does billing work?
I want the retainer terms to be as pain-free and smooth for my clients as possible so we can discuss your preferred terms of billing and payment once we get to know each other a little bit better during the trial month (see below).
Commitment & Flexibility
How does trial month work?
I offer a trial month for all of my retainer plans. During the first month, you can cancel at any time without the 30-day notice that’s normally required. This way you get an idea of how I work and if you don’t like the results for the first month, you aren’t stuck with me. The trial month is billed in advance and can be cancelled anytime, if you cancel I would provide a full refund for any remaining hours.
Is there a minimum commitment?
There is no minimum commitment for retainers but I require a 30 day notice if you decide to cancel the retainer. I depend on my retainers for my livelihood and the 30-day notice gives me time to prepare and make up for the loss of income if our relationship ends.
Can I upgrade or downgrade?
Plans can be downgraded at the start of the next billing cycle with a 30-day notice. Upgrading is possible but would depend on my capacity as I only take on a very limited number of clients to ensure good availability for everyone.
Workflow
How do I submit tasks?
Tasks can be submitted via Slack, email, ClickUp, Asana or via your preferred project management tool. Each task is reviewed and estimated before execution.
How many tasks can I submit?
As many tasks as you like, I’ll work through them based on your allocated hours and priority level.
