A second opinion from a senior developer before you commit budget: an audit of a site that is slow, fragile or unexplained, a review of a quote or a plan from another team, or an architecture decision on a new build. You get a written answer, in plain language, with what to do next and what it should cost.
Verifiable
Most consulting work starts with one of these. If yours is not on the list, describe it anyway.
Orders that vanish, members who lose access, a site that slows down every afternoon. We read the logs, code and data first, and tell you the cause before anyone changes anything.
We read another team's proposal or estimate and tell you whether the scope, the approach and the hours are reasonable, and what is missing from it.
Custom plugin or off-the-shelf, WooCommerce or a separate application, headless or not, which membership or LMS stack. Decided with the trade-offs written down.
A ranked diagnosis of what is actually slow, measured, with the fix for each item and the order to do them in. Not a list of plugins to install.
A review of custom code, plugins and server configuration before launch, after an incident, or before you buy or inherit a site.
PHP, WordPress, WooCommerce or theme framework upgrades on a site with years of custom code. We plan the order, the test coverage and the rollback.
Each of these started as a question, not a build. Client names are removed; the details are not.
Members were losing access with valid subscriptions. The cause was payment webhooks the site was quietly throwing away.
A review of a store's customer sync showed it could merge or delete the wrong accounts across two sites.
A contractor's site with years of custom code, upgraded against a baseline of nine page types before anything went live.
Short, because the value is in the findings, not the process.
Send the form with your site address and what you need to decide. A developer reads it, not a sales team.
We tell you how many hours the question needs before any time is billed, and you approve it.
Code, logs, plugins, data and hosting, with read-only access wherever possible.
What we found, what we ruled out, what to do next, in what order, and roughly what it costs.
Use the findings with your own team, another developer or us. There is no obligation either way.
Quoted word for word from Codeable's verified reviews.
"He didn't just identify issues, he explained what mattered, why it mattered, and what should be done next without trying to overcomplicate or oversell anything. I've already decided to continue working with him on the next phases."
"Very thorough and helpful! Really fast and did a lot to make me understand."
"When he found an issue with a theme purchase after the fact, he was upfront about it immediately and worked with me to find the best solution rather than just pushing ahead. He explained technical decisions in plain language."
The same published rate as all our open-ended work. Every hour is a senior developer.
Talk the problem through and find out whether it needs a consultation at all. Often it does not, and we will say so.
Audits, reviews, second opinions and architecture work. The hours are agreed before work starts and billed in 15-minute increments against a log you can read.
When something is already broken, a written diagnosis comes first, then a fixed price for the repair.
The same person can do both. The difference is the deliverable: a consultation ends in written findings and a recommendation, not in changed code. That is useful when you need to decide something before spending, or when you already have a team and want an independent view.
No. The findings are yours to use with anyone. If you ask us to do the work, we quote it separately as a fixed price against a written scope.
As little as possible. Many questions can be answered from a staging copy, a database export or read-only access. Please do not send passwords through the request form; we will agree a safe way once the scope is set.
Yes. Store architecture, checkout and payment flows, subscriptions, integrations with CRMs and ERPs, and performance under load are a large part of our work.
Yes, including code reviews of work done by other contractors and second opinions before an agency commits to a client quote. See white-label development for ongoing agency work.
Describe it in a few sentences. A senior developer will tell you how many hours it needs, or whether a free call is enough, within one business day.
A plugin? A SaaS MVP? A WooCommerce system? An AI-powered feature? Tell us your idea. We'll help you figure out the way to build it.
No hard selling. No confusing technical talk. Just honest guidance from a senior development team.
Tell us what you need. A developer, not a salesperson, replies within one business day with questions or a fixed price.
