Web Development + UI / UX Expert
Your company has an ambitious goal —
— and you want to do it right the first time while staying under budget. Seems reasonable, but you're not sure where to start or how to put all of the pieces together.
This is where my years of experience really matter. With 18+ years of experience, I've worked with numerous teams, guiding them and their companies to successful project outcomes.
My consulting experience ranges from reviewing planned SEO strategies and making crucial adjustments to organizing and facilitating the development of full technology platforms used for e-learning software, everything from the aesthetic design, UI & UX design, scalability, code performance, and much more.
Whether you need someone to lead a team or only a second opinion, I'm here to help.
Made for CMOs, SVPs, Directors
My consulting is built for marketing leaders at mid-sized and enterprise companies: a SVP of Marketing, a CMO, or a Director of Digital. You may have an in-house team, an agency, a freelance developer, or all three. What you need is a senior person who can look at the plan, spot the problems before they cost money, and tell you plainly what to do next.
Senior Judgment.
Backed by Data.
Common Consulting Engagements
Redesign / Migration Plan
A new website or a move to new hosting is the easiest way to lose rankings, leads, and tracking overnight. I review the plan before launch: redirects, URL structure, content, structured data, and conversion tracking, so the new website keeps what the old one earned.
GA4 & GTM
Good decisions start with numbers you can trust. I review your GA4 property and Tag Manager container, fix key events and conversion tracking, and connect them properly to Google Ads so the data matches what is happening on your website.
Proposals / Code Review
Before you sign an agency proposal or pay a developer's invoice, get a second opinion. I review the proposal, the quote, or the code itself and tell you what is solid, what is missing, and what is overpriced.
Page Speed & CWVs
Slow pages lose visitors and rankings. I find what is slowing your website down, from images and scripts to hosting and caching, and fix it or show your team exactly how.
AI in Your Workflow
I use Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini every day. I help teams put these tools to work on real tasks such as content, data analysis, and development, with a clear process for checking everything AI produces before it is used.
Rescuing a Stalled Project
A developer disappears, a launch date slips, or a project has gone in circles for months. I step in, find out where things stand, and get the project to the finish line.
How a Consulting Engagement Works
We talk about your goals, your team, and what is at stake.
I look at what you have now: the website, code, analytics, plans, and proposals.
You get written findings in plain English, ranked by priority.
I do the work myself, or I guide your team or developer while they do it.
He has been a crucial extension of our team, finding and fixing issues before we are even aware of them. We learn so much from him on every call, and our entire digital team has benefitted from his insights.”
He is a good communicator, explains the why and the how and treats projects as if they were his own by implementing the solutions that make the most sense for the present and the future.”
I really appreciate his professionalism when it comes to educating other members of XENON’s management team on SEO terminology and practices, in an easy relatable and non-intimidating manner.”
Your board sees the budget.
I know where it should go.
I know which investments move rankings, leads, and revenue, and which ones only look good in a proposal.
Your budget goes to work that pays off.

How Consulting Is Billed
Fixed-fee Reviews. A defined Review with a set scope and a set price, agreed before any work starts. Best for a redesign plan, an analytics setup, a proposal, or a codebase.
Hourly, as needed. For ongoing guidance, you call or email me when you need me, and you pay for the time involved. I'm always happy to meet in person and travel the country to visit clients.
Work Directly with Me
When you hire an agency, the person who sells you the work is rarely the person who does it. With me, the person on the first call is the person doing the Review, writing the findings, and doing the work.

Frequently Asked Questions about Web Development Consulting
Can you work alongside our in-house team or agency?
Yes. I can review your team's plans, guide your developers, or fill in the skills your team needs. It's fun to work with larger teams.
Can you review a website another company built?
Yes. I can give you a second opinion on a website, a codebase, or a proposal from another company.
How is consulting priced?
Two ways. A fixed-fee Review has a set scope and a set price agreed before work starts. Ongoing guidance is billed hourly, as needed, so you only pay for the time it took.
How soon can you start?
Availability is limited, but most new work starts within a few weeks. It's best to inquire early.
Do you work with companies outside Boston?
Yes. I'm based in Boston and have great clients across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Europe.
