Most IT problems aren't technical — they're decisions that were never properly questioned. I ask the uncomfortable questions first, then build the solution. People first. Process second. Tools third.
The moment you describe a problem, most IT consultants are already pricing up the solution you've described. I do the opposite: I challenge whether that's the right problem to solve at all. That's not obstruction — it's the only honest way to avoid expensive mistakes.
I work across WordPress security architecture, bespoke WordPress engineering, custom plugin development, and strategic IT implementation. The thread through all of it is the same: understand the situation fully before recommending anything.
Outgrown improvised IT. Not ready for an in-house team.
You've been running on plugins, workarounds, and tools that made sense when you were smaller. Now the complexity is costing you time and creating risk you can't easily see.
You'll recognise yourself if
Managing client infrastructure where your reputation is on the line.
You build sites and run campaigns, but security, custom functionality, and compliance sit in a grey zone. When something breaks, it's your problem.
You'll recognise yourself if
Specific needs, no tolerance for "close enough."
Your requirements don't fit a standard plugin or a generic agency offering. You need something built precisely — a compliance flow, a secured integration, a custom data architecture.
You'll recognise yourself if
Not the right fit
No pitch, no package. You describe the situation. I ask questions that might feel uncomfortable. That's the point.
I'll tell you what I think is actually going on — including if the problem you've described isn't the one worth solving.
Scope defined clearly before anything is built. Project-based for defined requirements, retainer for ongoing work.
