Who is this for?
Small business owners, founders, and non-technical people planning, choosing, or already working with a developer. Typical project budgets are €100–€10,000+. If the project is too large or specialised for this service, I’ll say so before you pay.
Why does this service exist?
Because many website problems start before development begins. Non-technical clients often receive vague offers, unclear scope, risky promises, or work they cannot properly evaluate. I help translate those decisions before money is spent — and give an honest opinion when something does not feel clear.
Why €70 an hour — is that a lot?
€70/hour reflects 15 years of real project experience: development, technical review, team leadership, teaching, and public-sector work. You are not paying for “just an hour” — you are paying for compressed judgement, pattern recognition, and mistakes you do not have to learn the expensive way.
How did you get the idea for a service like this?
I kept seeing the same pattern: non-technical people asking for websites, receiving very cheap offers, and having no reliable way to judge the real quality, risk, or scope behind them. Some offers were simply unclear. Others looked unrealistic, rushed, or technically risky. After seeing this often enough, the need became obvious: people need an independent second opinion before money, access, and reputation are on the line.
Do you guarantee results?
No. I give you an honest read on the plan, offer, or finished work. The decision and outcome stay with you. Anyone guaranteeing results on work they are not doing themselves is selling something else.
Will you contact the developer on my behalf?
No. I stay out of the conversation. I’ll give you the right questions to ask and the language to use, but the relationship with your developer stays yours.
Can you help if the site is already built?
Yes. Website analysis reviews code quality, performance, structure, security, SEO basics, and maintainability. You get a prioritised list of what needs fixing — whether with your current developer or another.
What do you need from me before we meet?
Depends on the stage. Before hiring: a short description of the business and goal. During selection: proposals, estimates, and scope emails. After delivery: a site link and access, if available.
Do you build websites through this service?
No. This service is consulting only. If you want development after we talk, I can connect you with
vDisain and step out of the advisor role. I don’t take referral fees and I don’t recommend developers during consulting.
Do you consult other web agencies or studios?
No. I only consult individuals and companies whose business is not web development. Advising agencies or studios would conflict with my role at
vDisain.
Do you offer refunds — and what happens before the first invoice?
I don’t offer refunds for work that has already been invoiced. Before the first invoice, we have a short fit check. If I’m not the right person, the timing isn’t right, or there’s nothing useful I can add, we simply don’t proceed — and you won’t be charged.
