Extra hands for your small business

Overflow support for small studios and solo operators. Clear scope, tidy delivery, and work that fits your workflow.

You run a small shop. Work stacks up. Clients still want fast turnarounds. I join for delivery, fixes, QA, and launch support.

Best fit for independent designers, content designers, copywriters, backend developers, and solo front end developers who want reliable hands on the build.

Ways of working

How work runs

  1. You share goals, deadline, designs, and page list.
  2. I reply with scope, assumptions, and a delivery plan.

  4. We QA. I fix. You ship.
  5. You get handover notes and next steps.

What I need on day one

Pricing anchor

Hourly rate: £75. Small jobs and scoped sprints work best. Retained hours suit ongoing delivery.

FAQs

Do you speak to my client?

Your choice. Default is delivery behind the scenes. Calls and workshops are available when useful.

What stacks do you work with?

Astro and Eleventy builds are preferred. Headless CMS builds, including Sanity. I also work with existing codebases where a clean route exists.

What sort of work is a poor fit?

Work with unclear scope, missing designs, or no review time. I focus on calm delivery with clear acceptance criteria.
