Fixed-scope freelance work
I build simple, practical websites and small web tools for freelancers, sole traders, and small businesses. My focus is clear scope, useful features, mobile-friendly design, and honest handover notes.
What this means
Freelance web development means hiring me for a specific website or web app project instead of hiring a full-time developer. We agree the scope, price, and expected outcome before work starts, then I build and launch the agreed project. This keeps the work realistic, easy to understand, and easier to hand over.
Services
These are the kinds of fixed-scope projects I am best placed to help with at this stage.
Simple, clean websites for sole traders, freelancers, local businesses, and small services.
One-page sites for a service, project, portfolio, or small business idea.
Small database-backed tools where a static website is not quite enough.
Deployment support for sites and Django apps I build as part of the agreed project.

Quoted
Discussed after the scope, content, features, and hosting needs are clear.
Process
The aim is to keep the work clear from the start, with sensible checkpoints and no mystery handover.
We talk through what you need, who the site is for, and what success looks like.
I outline the pages, features, deliverables, price, and expected timeline.
You provide text, images, branding, domain details, and any required business information.
I build the agreed website or tool using the chosen structure and features.
You review the build, then I make agreed revisions within the original scope.
I help launch the project and provide clear notes for using or updating it.
Proof of approach
These projects show the kind of practical Django, deployment, content, and product thinking I bring to small freelance builds.
A Django setup recommendation builder with forms, rule-based logic, SEO pages, admin-managed content, sitemaps, robots.txt, Heroku deployment, and affiliate links.
A Django software and AI stack recommendation project for small businesses and freelancers, useful for showing product-led recommendation logic.
A Django ecommerce-style project with product browsing, cart and checkout-style flows, and account/order-style backend thinking.
FAQ
I can help set up deployment for projects I build, usually using Heroku or a similar service. Hosting costs are normally paid directly by you.
You should own the domain and hosting account. I can guide the setup, but it is better for the client to keep control of important accounts.
For Django projects, I can build simple admin-editable content where it fits the scope. For static pages, updates may need a small agreed change request.
Ongoing support can be discussed separately, but it is not included by default. I include 14 days of bug-fix support after launch for issues related to the agreed project scope.
A small landing page may take around one to two weeks once content is ready. Django tools and multi-page sites depend on scope and review time.
I usually need the goal of the site, page list, written content, images or branding, contact details, and any domain or hosting preferences.
Yes, where the feature is small and clearly scoped. Good examples include forms, listings, simple dashboards, admin-managed content, and rule-based recommendations.
No. I can add sensible technical basics such as titles, meta descriptions, sitemap and robots.txt setup, but rankings are not guaranteed.
