Websites and web systems for government agencies

Government websites need to be secure, easy for the public to use and easy for staff to update. I have built a government agency's CMS from the ground up and run platforms for national trade promotion programs.

I know the paperwork side too: data privacy notices under Republic Act No. 10173, accessibility, audit logs, and handing over documentation your IT team can use.

Short project or long term, both work

A few days to about 3 months

Short-term project

One clear goal with a written scope and a fixed quote before work starts. You see progress on a staging link every week.

  • A registration system for one event
  • A website or landing page
  • Fixing, upgrading or speeding up a Laravel app
  • A dashboard, report or integration

3 months and up

Long-term development

A platform built in phases, released early and improved with what users actually do. One developer who knows the whole system, start to finish.

  • A multi-event or year-round platform
  • Replacing an old system with a migration plan
  • A product that grows feature by feature

Month to month

Monthly retainer

A set number of hours each month for maintenance, security updates, backups, small features and support before and during your events.

  • Keeping a live system patched and backed up
  • A steady list of small changes
  • Peak-season support for trade shows

Part-time or full-time contract

Extra developer for your team

I join your team's repository, tools and meetings, and work through your backlog with your developers.

  • Agencies with more projects than developers
  • In-house teams that need Laravel experience
  • Covering a developer on leave

Questions clients ask

Do you build open-source tools for government?

Yes. My free tools page lists open-source projects for budget transparency, procurement red flags, FOI requests and an HR system for government offices.

Can our IT team take it over later?

Yes. It's standard Laravel with tests and written documentation, so your team or another developer can maintain it.

How much does it cost to hire you?

It depends on the scope, so every project gets a written quote first. Send a short brief (it takes about 30 seconds) and I reply within one business day with questions or a quote. Retainers and team contracts are billed monthly.

Do you take small or short projects?

Yes. Fixes, upgrades, a single feature, a landing page or a registration form for one event are all welcome, as long as the goal is clear.

Can you work with us long term?

Yes. Most of my systems have run for years, and I still maintain them. Long-term work can be a phased build, a monthly retainer or a part-time or full-time contract on your team.
