Work in Progress

Services.

Websites are the focus — handcrafted, fast, secure, and priced to make sense. Custom software too, when that's what the project calls for.

What I Offer

Start with a website.

Website Creation

Handcrafted from scratch — no page builders, no WordPress, no mystery plugins. Just clean code on a proper stack: GitHub Pages, Cloudflare, a real domain, and security done right. Fast, maintainable, and exactly what you actually need.

  • Portfolio & personal sites
  • Small business landing pages
  • Custom domain + GitHub Pages setup
  • Cloudflare CDN, DDoS protection & WAF
  • SSL, DNS, security headers — handled
  • Ongoing updates included in monthly plan

Custom Software

When a static site isn't enough. APIs, backends, mobile apps, cloud infrastructure — scoped and priced before any work starts.

  • Web & mobile applications
  • APIs & backend services
  • Cloud architecture & infrastructure

Transparent Pricing

What it costs

Two line items on your bill every month: hosting & infrastructure (with a $25 floor, even if the actual cost is less) and dev hours at $40 each. One hour is included in the base plan. Add more any month — same as hiring an hourly dev, no contract.

Minimum Plan
$65 /mo

Hosting fees ($25 minimum) plus one hour of dev time. Enough to keep a static site running and updated — domain, Cloudflare, GitHub Pages, SSL, security layer, and an hour of changes each month.

  • $25 hosting floor (domain, GH Pages, Cloudflare, SSL)
  • 1 hour dev time included ($40)
  • Use that hour for anything — updates, fixes, new features
  • Security headers, DDoS protection, CDN
  • Scale dev hours any month, no contract
Extra dev hours, any month +$40 / hr

Custom Software
Let's scope it

Custom applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure — scope and pricing depend on what you're building. We talk it through first, agree on what it costs, then get to work. No surprises.

  • Pricing based on scope — agreed upfront
  • Hosting billed at actual cost
  • Hour estimate & scope before any work starts
  • Architecture review included
  • Infra varies by project — Azure, Vercel, etc.
Let's Talk Scope

Real example — a site like mine (ajobrien.com)

Domain (~$15/yr), GitHub Pages (free), Cloudflare, security tooling actual cost varies
Hosting line item (floor applied) $25.00 / mo
1 dev hour — content updates, tweaks, new sections $40.00 / mo
Monthly total $65.00 / mo
Need a bigger push that month? Add hours at $40 each — stop any time. + $40 / hr
