I've built everything from sharp landing pages and interactive prototypes to test out new concepts, right through to more complex web apps with user accounts and e-commerce capabilities. The beauty of it, and where my experience really shines, is in understanding the nuances of each platform to push its limits and deliver something that's not just quick to build, but also scalable and genuinely solves a problem for the business. I love showing people how much you can achieve without writing a single line of code, or by using just a little bit to get that extra custom touch.

So, how experienced am I? Well, I've been really deep in the no-code and low-code development world for a good while now. I've seen how these platforms are total game-changers for getting ideas off the ground fast and building some seriously cool, functional web apps and internal tools without getting bogged down in traditional coding. My sweet spot is really understanding what a business needs and then translating that into a working solution using platforms like Webflow, Bubble, or maybe even tools like Softr or Glide. I'm not just about dragging and dropping; it's about architecting the solution smartly – figuring out the best way to structure data within these platforms, setting up the logic, and integrating with other tools like CRMs or payment systems to make everything hum.

That's a great question, and for something like a web development project using no-code or low-code, my approach to pricing is all about transparency and tailoring it to what you actually need. It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. Here’s generally how I figure out the price: Understanding Your Project (The Discovery Bit): First things first, we'd have a good chat. I need to really get what you're trying to achieve – what kind of website or app is it? What features are absolutely essential? Who's going to be using it? The more I understand your vision and the specific problems you're trying to solve, the better I can estimate. Scope of Work – What Needs Doing?: Based on our chat, I'll outline exactly what's involved. This includes things like: Complexity: Is it a simple landing page, a multi-page website with a blog, or a more complex web application with user logins, databases, and integrations? Building a basic portfolio site is different from, say, a custom internal tool for your team. Design: Are you providing a design, do you need something based on a template, or are we talking custom design work within the no-code/low-code platform? Key Features: What specific functionalities are needed? E-commerce capabilities, membership areas, complex forms, integrations with other software (like your CRM or email marketing tools), automation workflows – all these play a part. Content: Will you be providing all the content (text, images, videos), or do you need help with that side of things? Platform Choice: The specific no-code or low-code platform we decide to use (Webflow, Bubble, Softr, Adalo, etc.) can sometimes influence the time and effort involved, as each has its own strengths and learning curve for complex features. Estimated Time & Effort: Once I have a clear scope, I estimate the amount of time and effort it will take to deliver each part of the project – from initial planning and design, through development and testing, to launch and handover. My Value & Expertise: My pricing also reflects the experience and strategic thinking I bring to the table. It's not just about building something; it's about building the right thing, efficiently, and setting you up for success. This includes understanding how to best structure things on the chosen platform, how to integrate tools effectively, and how to create a good user experience. Project-Based vs. Hourly (Usually Project-Based): More often than not, I'll provide a project-based price. This means you get a clear, upfront cost for the agreed-upon scope of work. This way, there are no surprises, and you know exactly what you're investing. For smaller, very specific tasks or ongoing support, an hourly rate might sometimes make sense, but for a full build, a project price is usually better for everyone. So, in a nutshell, I'll listen carefully to what you need, define what needs to be done, estimate the work involved, and then give you a clear, project-based price. It's all about making sure you get great value and a fantastic end product.

That's a fair question! When it comes to pricing and discounts, here's my general approach, keeping it in that same straightforward, human style: While I don't have standard, across-the-board discounts advertised, I'm always open to a discussion to see how we can best make a project work for both of us, especially for clients I'm keen to partner with or for projects that have some flexibility. Here are a few situations where we might be able to find some wiggle room or added value, which can feel like a discount: Scope Adjustments: If your budget is a bit tight, we can often look at the scope of work. Sometimes, phasing a project – focusing on the absolute must-haves for an initial launch and then adding more features later – can be a great way to manage costs. Long-Term Partnerships: If we're looking at a longer-term collaboration or multiple projects, that's definitely something I'd take into account when discussing pricing for ongoing work. Building a solid, lasting relationship is valuable to me. Referrals or Testimonials: For clients who are happy to provide a great testimonial or refer new business my way down the line, I'm always appreciative, and that can sometimes be factored into our overall arrangement. Simpler Requirements: If, after our initial chat, it turns out the project is simpler than initially anticipated, or if you're able to provide a lot of the assets (like fully finalized design mockups or all content perfectly ready to go), that can sometimes reduce the overall effort and, consequently, the cost. Non-Profit or Social Impact Projects: If your project is for a registered non-profit or has a significant social impact component, I'm sometimes able to offer a more favorable rate, as I do like to support good causes when I can. The best way to approach it is for us to have that initial chat about your project and what you're looking to achieve. Once I understand the scope, if there's a budget you're trying to work within, let me know. I can then see if it's feasible to meet your needs within that budget, perhaps by being creative with the scope or approach. Ultimately, I aim to provide excellent value for the investment, delivering a high-quality solution that meets your goals. So, let's talk first, and then we can see what's possible on the pricing front!

Absolutely! I recently worked with a small business owner who was really struggling to manage her customer inquiries and project workflows. She was using a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and sticky notes – you know the drill – and things were starting to fall through the cracks as her business grew. She needed a simple, centralized way to track everything without a massive budget or a super complex CRM. So, we decided to build a custom internal dashboard for her using a combination of Airtable as the database to keep things organized, and Softr to create a really user-friendly, visual front-end. With these no-code tools, I was able to quickly build a system where she could: Log new customer inquiries with all the key details. Visually track the status of each project (e.g., 'New,' 'In Progress,' 'Awaiting Feedback,' 'Completed'). Assign tasks to herself or her small team. Even set up some basic automated email reminders for follow-ups using Airtable's automations. The outcome was fantastic for her. She told me it was like a weight lifted off her shoulders. She could finally see everything in one place, nothing was getting lost, and her team was much more aligned. Because we used no-code tools, we got it up and running in just a couple of weeks, which was way faster and more affordable than if she'd gone for a custom-coded solution. She felt much more in control and could actually focus on growing her business instead of constantly chasing information. It was a great example of how these tools can deliver real, practical solutions quickly.
