Freelance Web Development

I have been a website programmer since the late 1990s.  I have worked for small startups and in a corporate setting. 20+ years ago I started working remotely, which then snowballed into full time freelance programming.

Working as a freelance website programmer has given me the opportunity to build many different types of applications in many different industries.

My main focus is coding custom websites with PHP/MySQL and WordPress.  Almost all web applications I build are a type of content management system (CMS).

With 25+ years of experience as a web developer, I provide website consulting services to recommend the best solution to build your site within your budget.  I am an expert problem solver with identifying and fixing website problems including; code, performance, SEO,  hosting, and security issues.

I am located on the East Coast of the USA, in Virginia Beach, VA in the coastal region known as Hampton Roads.  (consisting of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Hampton and Newport News)

Clients hire me locally in Hampton Roads and nationwide (and worldwide) to provide website programming,  development and support services remotely on their websites.

It’s just me.

Although web designer is a general term to describe anyone that builds websites, more specifically a web designer focuses on the graphic design of how a website looks. This includes creating graphic elements, defining, fonts, colors and overall layout of a website. This is creative, “right brain” work.

I am a web developer, website programmer -a coder. I build websites, by programming logic with PHP/MySQL to make them function.  Work I do ranges from coding simple websites to complex web applications, fixing website problems, website maintenance, security and hosting. This is logical, “left brain” work.

I do not outsource full jobs that I am hired to do.

My skill set focuses on the technical side of web development though. This includes web programming, database design and development, troubleshooting, technical SEO and web hosting.  I do not have a team of web programmers that work for me and do not outsource web programming.

Even though the work I do is often referred to as web design, I am not a graphic designer.  I do not create the graphic elements of how a website looks, but do have experience in the best ways to lay out a web page to make it logical and user friendly.  I partner and collaborate with web designers to code functional websites.

Start a conversation. Get in touch with me through my contact or web development quote form and tell me about your project.

I will then provide website pricing to build it.

Then, if you would like to hire me to build a website for you,  I will send you a web development contract and invoice for deposit.

I work remotely, online for all projects I am hired to do. Communication is done over email, phone calls and Zoom.
