say hello
Let's talk.
A website to build, a server to land on, software you're curious about, or words that need writing — whatever brought you here, the fastest way forward is just to tell me about it. A real person reads every message, and that person is me.
drop me a line
Tell me what you're up to.
No form-letter required. A sentence or two about what you need is plenty to start — we'll figure out the rest together.
before you ask
A few things people tend to wonder.
What does "donation-ware hosting" actually cost?
Whatever it's honestly worth to you and your work. There's no price sheet and no minimum — generous when you're able, lean when you're not. I'd rather keep a worthwhile site online than win an argument over a few dollars.
Will you build me a brand-new website?
Often, yes. I hand-build sites that are fast, readable, and made to last — and because writing is the other half of what I do, I'll help with the words too, not just the layout. Tell me what you do and who it's for, and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.
Do I have to be technical to work with you?
Not in the least. You bring what you know — your craft, your parish, your business, your book — and I bring the code. Plain language only; I'll never bury you in jargon to look clever.
Can I move a site I already have onto your hosting?
Usually, yes — and tools like WhatYou.site are built precisely to bring existing, "unmanaged" HTML pages into something tidy without a ground-up rebuild. Send me the details and I'll let you know what's involved.
Is the writing for sale, or free?
Both. My Heart Leaps Up is a paperback you can buy on Lulu; Geek Orthodox is free to read and free to subscribe; and there's a shelf of stories and poems given away for nothing at blog.ehewlett.net. Pick whichever suits.
