Freelance software development

Christopher Meyer

I build websites, web applications, mobile apps, APIs, and more. I’m also looking to build internal tools for local businesses—to replace disconnected software, improve workflows, and connect the systems they already use.

Not sure whether your project is a fit? Reach out, and I’ll take a look and give you an honest assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions before reaching out.

What’s included in the starting price?

A custom homepage, the core pages your business needs, a contact form, an embedded Google Map, and SEO basics so people can find you — all mobile-friendly and fast. Add-ons like booking, a blog, or custom design scale the price from there.

How does billing work for maintenance changes?

Small, reasonable changes — swapping a photo, updating text, adding or removing a button — are included in the Hosting & Maintenance plan. Larger changes, like new pages or features, are quoted separately before I start.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The site, its content, and its domain are yours. Hosting and maintenance plans keep things running smoothly, but you’re never locked in.

How long does a typical build take?

Most websites take 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly I get content and feedback from you. Custom software timelines vary and get scoped up front.

What if I’m not sure which option I need?

That’s normal — reach out with a quick description of your business and what you’re trying to accomplish, and I’ll help you figure out the right starting point.
