I’m Craig Burdett, a full-stack web developer and SEO consultant in New York City.

Is your website slow? Can people find it on Google? Ask me what’s holding it back.

Send me your address. I’ll look at how fast it loads, how it shows up in Google and how easily visitors can get in touch, then email you plain-English suggestions. It’s free, with no strings attached.

I’ll only use your email to reply. The form is sent through Formspree. How I handle your details.

What I can help with

  • Rescues and rebuilds

    Sites that are slow, hacked, broken on phones or abandoned by the last developer. I get them back online, then rebuild them properly.

  • Search and conversion

    Find what your customers actually search for, fix what stops Google understanding your site, and test what turns visitors into inquiries and sales.

  • Ongoing help

    Hosting, updates, content, email newsletters and the steady work that keeps a site earning its keep.

  • Books, magazines and print

    Editing, design and layout for books, monthly magazines and brochures, in print and digital editions.

Engineer by training, building websites for more than 20 years

I fix sites that have stopped working for their owners, then make them fast, findable and easy to look after. Clients find me through a lost site, a hack or a slow month, and some have stayed for more than a decade.
