Independent Website & Technology Advisory
Get honest answers before a big website or technology decision.
Rebuilds, platform migrations, vendor contracts and CMS upgrades are expensive to get wrong. I'll help you work out what's actually worth doing, what to fix, what to replace, and what to leave alone. I don't resell platforms or take vendor commissions, so my advice serves you. And if building is the right move, I can do that too.
Free 15-minute Discovery Call. No pitch, no obligation.
Big technology decisions are hard to make when every answer comes from someone selling something.
It's aging out.
Built years ago on a platform nobody wants to touch — and every change is a fight.
You can't trust the advice.
Every vendor recommends what they sell, and you can't tell what's real.
No clear plan.
You know it needs work. You don't know what to fix first, or what it should cost.
Three ways to work together
A clear path, from first question to finished plan.
Start small and only go as far as you need. Most people begin with the free Discovery Call, where I'll tell you honestly which step makes sense for you, if any.

Explore the Strategy SessionWebsite & Technology Assessment
Flagship · Starting at $1,500For businesses with a CMS-driven site, several vendors, or a decision bigger than a refresh. A comprehensive, independent review of your website, CMS, hosting, performance, security, and vendors — delivered as a prioritized roadmap with estimated cost ranges and a walkthrough call. If you hire me to do the work, I’ll credit the Assessment fee toward the project.
See what the Assessment coversIndependent advice, not a sales pitch in disguise.
I don't resell platforms, earn vendor commissions, or pad invoices with work you don't need. My recommendation is the one I'd make if it were my own business, whether that's a new build, a few targeted fixes, or staying put.
If you need it built
Implementation Consulting

What that can include
- Drupal development
- Drupal upgrades & migrations
- Headless & decoupled builds
- Website modernization
- CMS implementation
- API integrations
Need a small business site? That's covered by my fixed-price website packages.
Ongoing technical leadership

Software I run myself
I build and operate Cahoot.
Cahoot is my event-promotion platform for local venues, running on Drupal, Next.js, custom APIs and native mobile apps. When I advise you on a platform or a build, it comes from someone who ships and maintains production software every day.

A good fit
Businesses facing a bigger website or technology decision: a CMS-driven site that's hard to maintain, a platform migration, several vendors to sort out, or a quote you're not sure about.
Not a fit
Anyone looking for ongoing IT support, server administration, networking, or help-desk and hardware work. I focus on websites and the technology strategy around them — not infrastructure.
Not sure what your website actually needs?
