Case studies

Some of these are full redesigns. Some are rescues where the previous developer disappeared or the codebase had drifted past the point of safe edits. A couple are agency white-label projects where the agency stayed as the client contact and I handled the technical work behind the scenes.

You will see WordPress, Craft CMS, Statamic and Laravel projects in this list. The platform usually matters less than the state of the codebase, the documentation that came with it and how willing the previous team was to keep things tidy. The harder fixes tend to be the slow ones: an undocumented payment integration, a plugin that has been patched until nobody understands what it does any more, a Laravel app that nobody has updated in three years.

Each write-up follows the same shape: what the business was trying to do, what the site was actually doing, what I changed, what it cost and what changed afterwards. Numbers are real where I can share them and approximated where confidentiality applies. Where a client agreed to a quote on a phone call rather than a written brief, I have made that clear.

If you recognise your own site in any of these, the same approach probably applies. Most websites do not need to be rebuilt. They need someone to read the code, find the broken parts and fix them in the right order. That is usually faster, cheaper and less risky than a redesign, and it leaves you with documentation you can hand to the next developer.

If something here looks similar to what you are dealing with, get in touch or order a site health report and I will tell you what the site is actually doing before you commit to anything bigger.
