Hi, I'm Ben C, a freelance web developer and software engineer from Australia.

Website Design and Development
If you need a website designed and built from scratch, or you already have a design idea and media and you need somebody to assemble it into a website for you, I can help.  I specialise in identifying the best way to meet your business needs, not just with a website but a strategy to build your digital presence to maximise the value for your business, and then set it up with the most cost effective hosting and maintenance approach into the future.

I can also help build your digital presence in other ways, such as setting up your Google My Business profile, your social media pages, and helping you work out  your overall digital strategy for attracting your kind of customers.

"Ben helped me build our new website and social media presence. His expertise, and collaborative nature resulted in a fantastic outcome for our business. We are very pleased, and would thoroughly recommend his services to other small businesses. Thanks Ben!"

Web Apps and Mobile Apps
Some businesses need the functionality of pro tools like Javascript, Node and React because they need a proper dynamic web application that runs in a web browser or a smartphone.  While these can be a longer term investment to set up initially, they can deliver far more functionality and far better security so your clients get the excellent customer experience they deserve. 

I have a background in data science and software engineering, and experience in JavaScript, Java, Python just to start.  I can take care of the technical work myself, or I've lead small teams to bigger goals.

Ask about my qualifications as a software engineer.

Website Maintenance and Rescue
If you already have a website and you need it fixed or a new function added, this is a specialty of mine.  I have experience with all the major website builders (WordPress, Wix, Shopify, SquareSpace to name a few), with the essential elements like HTML/CSS and Bootstrap, and many of the popular hosting platforms (AWS, SiteGround, HostPapa, CrazyDomains, GoDaddy, using cPanel).  I often help clients who bought a cheap website template, then found it was only half finished.  I can help you get it online and working so you all your customers get through to you and can access your services.

"Ben is a very professional, highly responsive and honest service provider. I highly recommend him for his services. Nothing was too hard for him, and the cost for his services is very good for the value provided."

Pay-Per-Click Advertising Management
Thinking of extending your business reach through paid Google Ads or Facebook Ads?  These can be an excellent way to rapidly expand your business, but they can also be very very expensive, so you want to have the right strategy to get value for money.  I have a background in data analytics and a keen eye for spotting value-for-money and eliminating waste, so you can make the most of your ad spend and maximise your margins.  

Ask about advertising support packages.

Consultation and In-Home Support
I keep abreast of the most cost-effective ways to build and manage your own website and enhance your online digital presence.  If you are on a tight budget and just need a few pointers to get started, understand your options and what you get for your money when you sign up for something, ask about my introductory consultation.  Many clients find this is enough to get going, and others then go on to hire me as their developer.

Ask about my introductory consultation.

Graphic Design
If your website needs graphics or logos designed, images sourced, photographs taken, I can arrange all of these for you, or recommend a photographer or digital artist if you'd like to arrange it directly, and then use the material in your website build.  I have the Adobe Suite so I can take care of it quickly myself if you just need something simple designed, or an existing logo touched up or reworked for a new format.

Ask about options for sourcing graphics and design.

He also provided me with a document outlining and explaining the steps he took to resolve the problems with some helpful links and tips for future improvements.
