// Not Just Another Digital Agency.If agencies have left a bad taste in your mouth, here’s an idea worth considering…I believe in a dedicated, one-on-one service for every client. I consciously don’t work like other digital agencies. A large agency may have a long list of clients but chances are you’ll be paying for mediocrity, at best. You may even feel like you’re being boxed into a category that suits their processes, not your needs. To make matters worse, the disconnect between their staff and your business is paralysing to the entire process of assessing, strategising and execution. I’ve proven that the right guy looking after your business for a specific function beats a distant team or division in a large agency, hands down.What’s more is I don’t lock clients into a contract because I simply don’t need to. I’m dedicated to understanding where your business has been and where you want it to go. I deliver and the value is obvious from the outset. ☑ Startup Technical Advisor ☑ Front End Development | Wordpress, Joomla CMS | Static Site Generators ☑ e-Commerce | Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Sales Funnels ☑ SEO Audits | Fix errors and warnings to improve SEO results ☑ Customer Big Data | Segment, Mixpanel ☑ Web & Email Hosting ☑ Full Stack Development | Technical Co-Founder
