Services

Services built around real website problems.

Eight ways I can help — each explained by when it’s useful, what’s included, and what you receive at the end.

WordPress website development

A new WordPress site, or a careful rebuild of one that has become slow or hard to manage.

Useful when

  • You need a new site for a business or personal brand
  • Your current site is cluttered, slow or difficult to edit
  • You want to update your own content without help

Scope

  • Planning pages and structure
  • Theme setup and page layouts
  • A short, justified plugin list
  • Mobile and cross-browser checks
  • Basic on-page SEO set up from the start

Deliverables

  • A working site on your hosting
  • Admin access and simple editing notes
  • A list of installed plugins and why
  • A full backup at handover

Technical & on-page SEO audits

A clear review of what may be holding a site back in search, with fixes ordered by priority.

Useful when

  • Search traffic has dropped or stayed flat
  • Important pages don’t seem to appear in Google
  • You are launching or moving a site

Scope

  • Crawling and indexing, robots.txt and sitemaps
  • Site structure and internal links
  • Titles, descriptions and headings
  • Structured data
  • Mobile usability and page speed basics

Deliverables

  • A written audit in plain language
  • A prioritised list of fixes
  • Optional implementation of the fixes

No one can honestly guarantee rankings. This work focuses on what can be controlled — a site that search engines can crawl, understand and trust — using white-hat methods only.

Website maintenance & performance

Routine care that keeps a WordPress site updated, backed up, secure and quick.

Useful when

  • No one is currently looking after the site
  • Updates feel risky, so they keep being postponed
  • The site has become noticeably slower

Scope

  • Core, theme and plugin updates, tested
  • Backups and restore checks
  • Security housekeeping: users, plugins, basic hardening
  • Speed work: images, caching, unused plugins

Deliverables

  • A log of work carried out
  • Before-and-after measurements for speed changes
  • Recommendations for anything that needs a decision

Hosting & server setup

A complete A-to-Z VPS setup — secured, documented and handed over to you in full.

See pricing

Useful when

  • Your site is slow because of its hosting
  • You are moving to a VPS or a new host
  • DNS, SSL or email records are a mess

Scope

  • VPS and web server configuration
  • Cloudflare DNS, CDN and SSL
  • PHP, caching and database tuning
  • Site migration with a rollback plan
  • Security hardening, backups and monitoring

Deliverables

  • A working, documented server setup
  • Every login and key handed over to you
  • Notes on backups and monitoring

Security & malware cleanup

Hardening for healthy sites, and careful recovery for sites that have been compromised.

Useful when

  • Your site shows spam, redirects or warnings
  • Old users, plugins or themes were never reviewed
  • You want a security check before launch

Scope

  • User, plugin and file-permission review
  • Malware scanning and removal
  • Clean re-install of core files where needed
  • Hardening and update routine afterwards

Deliverables

  • A clean, working site
  • A short report of what was found and fixed
  • Recommendations to prevent a repeat

If a site has been hacked, act quickly: change passwords, keep a backup of the current state, and avoid deleting files blindly before they are reviewed.

AI workflow automation

Practical automation for repeated work, set up so people stay in control of the result.

See pricing

Useful when

  • Your team repeats the same task every week
  • Content preparation or reporting takes hours
  • Information is copied between tools by hand

Scope

  • Mapping the current workflow
  • Choosing which steps are safe to automate
  • Building and testing the automation
  • Review points where a person checks the output

Deliverables

  • A working automation
  • Short documentation of how it runs
  • A handover walkthrough

Guest post writing & placement

Original articles published on real, relevant websites, with a natural link back to your site.

See pricing

Useful when

  • You want your brand to appear on sites your audience reads
  • You need relevant links in a competitive niche
  • You have no time to find sites and write articles

Scope

  • Site vetting: real traffic, topical relevance, clean link profile
  • Topic ideas agreed with you first
  • Original article of about 1,000 words
  • One contextual link with a natural anchor

Deliverables

  • Live article URL
  • Report with the site's metrics at the time of publishing
  • Replacement if the post is removed within 6 months

Where a publisher charges a fee, the link is placed according to the publisher’s policy and Google’s guidelines, which ask for paid links to be marked rel="sponsored". No private blog networks, link farms or hacked sites — ever.

Budget planner

Plan a monthly link budget.

Three typical starting plans. Use the planner to build your own mix — it only calculates in your browser and sends nothing anywhere.

  • New or local site

    ~$360/month

    • 3 Starter guest posts
    • Good for new sites and local businesses
    • Build steadily for 3–6 months
  • Competitive niche

    ~$2,840/month

    • 3 Growth + 1 Authority guest post
    • Plus the Growth outreach package
    • For established sites with strong competitors

Build your own plan

Per month$520
Links per month3
Total for the period$1,560

Estimates from starting prices. The audit fee is credited against your first order, so it isn’t added to the total. Final quotes depend on the sites you approve.

Other services

Scoped and quoted per project.

WordPress builds, SEO audits, website maintenance and security clean-ups differ too much for fixed packages to be fair. After a short conversation about your site and goals, I’ll send a written scope and quote before any work starts.

If a smaller first step makes more sense — such as an audit before a rebuild — I’ll suggest it.

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the problem instead. I’ll suggest the smallest sensible next step.
