Craig Burdett

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

Find out what's holding your website 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 won't share your email address with anyone.

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.

How the free review works

  1. Send your address

    Use the form on this site. If something about your site is already bugging you, say so.

  2. I go through the site

    How it loads on a phone, what Google sees, how the pages are built, and how easy it is to get in touch.

  3. You get suggestions by email

    In plain English, most important first, so you can act on them yourself or pass them to whoever runs your site.

  4. You decide what's next

    Fix it yourself, ask your current developer, or hire me. There's no obligation either way.

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.
