Four months ago a founder hired me for a $120 Supabase job. Today her app is live on the App Store and Google Play.
She had a reading tracker she’d built with AI tools. It worked on the web, the backend was written and waiting, and she needed someone to wire it up, deploy it and make sure a reader’s library synced across phone and laptop. Setup, not building. A small, clean job.
I did that one properly, with a short note explaining how it all fits together so she could manage it after. Then she came back for the next phase, and the next.
When she wanted a mobile app, I didn’t start over. I kept her backend and built iOS and Android on top of it, so the same accounts and the same library work everywhere. I wired in Stripe and RevenueCat so a subscription works across web and phone, and took it through both store reviews. App Store in August, Google Play in September.
Last month we shipped book clubs: one book read together in parts, with discussions that stay locked until you reach that part.
Small first jobs are how I’d rather start too.

Myth: once the site is live, the project is done.
Fact: launch is the first day the site meets real visitors. It needs care after that: updates, fixes, content and tracking.
What a monthly check covers on the sites I look after:
• Updates on staging first: core, theme, plugins or apps
• Every form tested end to end. Does the email actually arrive?
• Search Console: new errors, new 404s, pages dropped from the index
• Speed on the top pages, on mobile, not just desktop
Most problems I find in audits weren't there at launch. A plugin update broke a form, a page was renamed without a redirect, a new script slowed the homepage.
None of them are dramatic. They just pile up when nobody looks.
Who checks your site after launch, and how often?
One real site, one real tip, every day. Follow for more videos.

Launch day is when the real data starts, and most owners stop looking right then. What's the first thing you check in the first week after a site goes live?
I rebuilt the NFCtree website to match the new app.
Same colors, same fonts, same textures, from one design system.

I explored layouts in Paper first.
Looked at how Anchor, ugly.cash and Klarna handle scrolling.
Picked one.

Then I designed it in Figma.
Claude Code turned it into code.
Pushed to GitHub.
Vercel published it.

The scroll motion is CSS only.
It turns off when reduced motion is on.

Does your website look like your product?
