Website Services and Support

Engage me for contract or freelance support across web development, CMS migrations and management, technical SEO resolution, and tech stack optimization.

What I offer companies

Contract and freelance support for teams that need production engineering, CMS work, and technical SEO — without standing up a full in-house web org.

01

Web Development

Front end & back end

Full-stack builds and production work — React/Next.js front ends, Node APIs, and the day-to-day engineering that keeps marketing and product sites shipping.

  • React, Next.js, HTML/CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript UI builds
  • Node.js APIs, Express, and database-backed features
  • Figma-to-production components and landing pages
  • Sprint collaboration, QA, and stakeholder delivery
02Specialty

CMS Migration Strategy & Development

Plan, cut over, and ship

End-to-end platform moves with a cutover plan that protects live traffic — from content modeling through dual-stack routing and publisher handoff.

  • WordPress → Contentful (and similar) migration architecture
  • Zero-downtime cutovers with reverse proxies (e.g. AWS Lambda / API Gateway)
  • Content modeling, redirects, and SEO preservation
  • Documentation so your team owns the new stack
03

CMS Management

WordPress or Contentful

Ongoing CMS operations for marketing teams — publishing workflows, component upkeep, and reliable day-to-day management on WordPress or Contentful.

  • WordPress / WP Engine site operations and theme or block work
  • Contentful models, entries, and publisher enablement
  • Page builds, content updates, and release cadence
  • Governance, QA, and handoff for content owners
04

Technical SEO Resolution

Find it · fix it · verify it

Resolve the technical issues that block discovery — crawl/index problems, broken routes, metadata, localization, and Core Web Vitals — so content can rank.

  • Technical audits and remediation roadmaps
  • 404s, redirects, metadata, and structured data fixes
  • Multilingual / localized SEO health
  • GTM, analytics, and tag-layer cleanup
05

Tech Stack Optimization

Performance · architecture · maintainability

Tighten the stack your site runs on — hosting, CMS, build pipeline, and front-end architecture — so the site is faster, cleaner, and easier to maintain.

  • Stack assessment (CMS, hosting, build, CDN)
  • Performance and Core Web Vitals improvements
  • Modernization paths (Jekyll/legacy → Next.js, headless CMS)
  • Developer workflow, docs, and maintainability upgrades

How I work

A migration-aware production process — discover risk early, cut over safely, then measure what changed.

01

Discover

Map goals, content owners, SEO risk, and what must survive the migration or redesign.

02

Architect

Define CMS models, routing, proxy strategy, and a cutover path that keeps the live site stable.

03

Build & migrate

Ship pages from Figma, move content, wire GTM, and validate across locales and devices.

04

Measure

Monitor SEO health, publishing velocity, and performance — then document so the team can own it.
