05. FAQ

While I primarily focus on Shopify these days, I can certainly help with WordPress projects. These platforms share similar underlying concepts—themes, templates, hooks, and customization patterns. If you have a WordPress project that needs development work, feel free to reach out and we can discuss it.

Absolutely. Whether you need a second pair of eyes on tricky code, help with a specific integration, or just want to offload part of a project, I'm happy to collaborate. I work well with other developers and can adapt to your existing codebase and workflows.

Not at all. Think of coding like the building trade—every contractor or landscaper has their own know-how and ways of getting the job done. Sure, there's code that works and code that doesn't, but the path to a solution can vary. You don't need to know the technical jargon or any programming language names. Just tell me what you want or need in your own words—that's more than enough. I'll translate that into a solution and come back to you with options.

It depends on the scope. Small fixes and tweaks can often be done within 24-48 hours. Larger features or custom builds typically take 1-2 weeks. For full projects, I'll provide a timeline estimate after understanding your requirements. I always communicate proactively if anything changes.

Yes. After a project is complete, I can provide ongoing support for updates, bug fixes, and new features. Many clients prefer a retainer arrangement for regular maintenance—this ensures quick response times and priority support when issues arise.

That's completely fine. Many clients come to me with a problem rather than a solution in mind. Just describe what you're trying to achieve or what's not working, and I'll help figure out the best approach. The initial consultation is free—no commitment required.

I've been around computers before I could walk—my parents were generous enough not to hold me back. As I grew, I explored various coding languages, starting with simple HTML and CSS. I particularly remember Ucoz, one of the first template-based site builders—it felt revolutionary at the time. From there, one thing led to another, and I've grown quite comfortable with all this coding stuff, especially after building Skylit Studio from scratch.

Axel.
