Hi I'm David Colgan. Yes, I do freelance web development. But so does everyone else. You've tried Upwork, you've tried local developers, you've tried your cousin's brother's cousin. What do they all have in common?
They are hard to work with.
Devs going dark without warning for weeks on end. Devs who can't actually do anything without you sitting on them. Devs who add more work to your plate than they remove.
What is the most common feedback clients say about me? That I am good at the communication part of freelancing. That I can manage your project from start to finish. That I won't just up and leave suddenly without telling you. _That I answer my email._
Sure I've built lots of websites and webapps in the past. Quite a lot of them. But instead of a portfolio I submit to you my mailing list letters, where for the past year I have written about the human side of freelancing and consulting. My goal is to teach other people how to be more effective at the craft of solo devving, and I aim to practice what I preach.
