FAQs help, but a planning path is usually faster once you know what you are trying to decide.

1

What services do you offer?

I specialise in workflow automation, business process optimisation, web applications, client portals, company intranets, dashboards, and integrations with existing systems.

2

How do you charge for your services?

Most work is either a focused package, pay-as-you-go at $200/hr NZD, or monthly ongoing work at $150/hr. Fixed-price quotes are available when the scope is clear.

3

What is your typical project timeline?

Simple automations can take a few days. More substantial portals, intranets, dashboards, or applications usually take several weeks. The planning stage sets a realistic timeline.

4

Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes. Monthly support and development options are available when a system needs ongoing improvements, maintenance, fixes, or iteration.

5

Can you integrate with our existing systems?

Yes. I regularly work with existing CRMs, project management tools, accounting platforms, scheduling systems, databases, and custom APIs.

6

What technologies do you use?

I use practical modern tools including React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Supabase/PostgreSQL, Vercel, and automation platforms. The stack depends on the job.

7

How do I get started?

Start with a Tech Clarity Session or a short contact message. The first step is naming the bottleneck clearly enough to scope the right fix.

8

Do you offer training?

Yes. I provide training and documentation with delivered systems so your team can use the system confidently without guessing.

Missing something?

Ask the question in plain English.

A short message is often enough to work out whether you need a tool, a planning session, a fixed package, or nothing at all.
