A Web developer you can trust

I Care – About You, Your Business, and Your Budget.

I design and maintain websites – from blogs, portfolios, e-learning and e-commerce to application- and document handling sites.

20+ years of experience

Great Designs

Made in Europe

Clever websites that doesn’t break the bank.

If you own a business you should also own your website, so the first principle is to avoid Wix, Squarespace and similar solutions because it usually comes at a price the day you want disentangle from them.

Second, you should have autonomy in maintaining your site, maybe even maintain it yourself. This gives you better control over your costs and freedom to effortlessly scale up (or down) your business, without being dependent on anyone (not even me).

Features

Rocket.net is currently one of the leading WordPress-specific hosting providers on the market. That’s why I rely on it for both my own and my clients projects.
Rocket is fully integrated with Cloudflare, which means extremely high performance and very good basic security features, otherwise reserved for enterprises because of the costs. Now you can have all that on your own site!

I have a collection of developer licences in my toolbox – built up over years of trial and error and looking beyond the hype to the facts based on my own experience. The tools I use work, and I trust the teams behind them – occasionally even working with them. I use my toolkit for both my own work and most client projects.
Licences can be expensive – developer licences even more so – but they also allow me to share the benefits with my clients.

Transactional emails are the messages sent by your website—like contact form notifications, reminders, and admin alerts. They are crucial for functionality and reputation but unfortunately often not taken seriously enough. I typically set up my clients with Smtp2Go for transactional emails. Omnisend for marketing emails and/or Vaia for individual emails if needed. All highly reliable services with excellent features.

The web is increasingly under threat by all kinds of bad actors, and you really don’t want any of them breaking in to your site to plant ransomware, have emails scraped or inject harmful code. A Malware scanner continuously compare the clean code for unknown changes and replace damaged code with the original clean code.

Off site backup is the digital equivalent of “Don’t put all eggs in the same basket”—a necessary insurance against disaster.

pricing

Each plan is set up to suit the specific needs of you and your website. The cost depends on the tools and solutions involved. Regular maintenance is always included. If you’d like help with things like content updates, handling support emails, or other ongoing tasks, we can add that to your plan for an additional monthly fee.

Most clients spend between €50 and €400 per month, depending on the level of support required.

If you want a bare minimum price, we can opt for that as well. You can always buy extra hours should you get stuck (See below).

I use a sliding hourly rate to keep things fair—after the inital meeting all projects start at €120/hour, but the longer we work together, the more hours you will accumulate and your rate drops—all the way down to €50/hour.

Hours can be bought as credits in advance at a discount. I invoice them in batches of 3 hours (10% discount) or 5 hours (15% discount). Purchased hours do not expire and can be used at any time. I will keep track of your remaining credit and provide an update with each invoice.

Hourly fees

T1 First 2 hours: €120/hour
T2 3–15 hours: €100/hour
T3 16–40 hours: €85/hour
T4 41–100 hours: €65/hour
T5 Over 100 hours: €50/hour

As a freelancer in Italy I do not charge VAT.
