About Chris
The technical point person
small businesses usually don't have.
I run websites, SEO and technology projects for a living - and I help business owners make those decisions without becoming the IT department themselves.
I've spent twelve years on the technical side of organizations that don't have a technical department: running the website, the SEO, the member portal, the hosting for a fleet of small-business sites, the app, the developers, the vendors and the projects - usually at the same time.
That's the perspective I bring to small businesses. Not a developer who wants to build the biggest thing, and not an agency that needs you on a retainer to survive. Someone who has owned the outcome, knows which corners can be cut and which can't, and would rather give you a defined package with a known price than a proposal with a surprise at the end.
How I work
- Scope first. Every service on this site has a written scope, a price and a way to start. If your situation doesn't fit, I'll say so and suggest what does.
- Measured, not vibes. Speed work gets a before-and-after. SEO work gets Search Console. Automation gets a run log. You should be able to see what changed.
- You keep the keys. Standard tools, documented handovers, admin access in your name. Nothing here is designed to lock you in.
- Plain language. You'll never have to pretend you understood something. Ask twice.
Where I am
Monmouth and Ocean County, New Jersey - and remote for everything that doesn't need a room. Most of this work happens over a screen share anyway.
What I bring
Websites & hosting
WordPress and custom CMS builds, plus day-to-day hosting operations for a fleet of small-business sites - updates, backups, resource policies, the unglamorous parts.
SEO
Technical SEO, on-page optimization and reporting across content-heavy sites; managing SEO consultants and developers toward changes that actually show up in Search Console.
Portals & ecommerce
Owning a member portal and its development team: tickets, releases, testing, and the bugs that matter to real users rather than the ones that look bad in a demo.
Project & vendor management
Scoping, briefs, oversight and sign-off for technical projects where the business owner isn't the technical one - which is most of them.
Workflow automation
Lead scraping, enrichment and qualification pipelines built with n8n, Airtable and APIs, handing clean data to the CRM instead of a spreadsheet.
AI in practice
Designing AI-assisted workflows and agents with clear roles, guardrails and human review - and knowing when the right answer is not to use AI at all.
