Quick Fix (Same-Day Help)

Perfect when something is broken, throwing errors, or behaving strangely and you need it fixed fast.

What I Fix
  • Broken or slow websites
  • 500 errors / timeouts
  • DNS & domain issues
  • SSL certificate problems
  • GoDaddy / Hostwinds headaches
  • IIS & Plesk configuration
  • .NET & SQL errors
  • Deployment & MSDeploy issues
  • WinRM / HTTPS setup
  • SMTP / email delivery
  • Backups & restore problems
  • VPS & firewall issues
$150–$500
Depending on complexity and urgency.
Most quick fixes are paid in full upfront as a one-time retainer for the work. For returning clients, follow-up fixes can be billed on completion.

Request a Quick Fix Describe your issue and I’ll respond as quickly as I can.

While I handle all critical engineering work myself, I collaborate with a small network of experienced engineers for specialized tasks or high-volume projects. This allows me to move quickly without compromising quality.
Quick Fix Checklist

You don’t need all of this, but the more you can provide, the faster I can help.

✓
What’s broken?
Error message, screenshot, URL, when it started, and any recent changes.
✓
Access details (as needed):
Hosting login (GoDaddy, Hostwinds, etc.), server credentials (RDP/Plesk/IIS), FTP/SFTP, database login or backup, and admin panel access.
✓
Code access (optional):
GitHub/Bitbucket repo if the issue is code-related.
✓
Desired outcome:
Explain what “fixed” looks like—secure SSL, stable deploys, site loading fast, etc.
✓
Urgency:
Let me know if this is fully blocking your business (site down, payments failing, etc.).

For work that requires deeper access (servers, databases, code, DNS), I use a simple Authorization & Limited Liability Agreement to protect both of us.

Retainers & Billing

I keep billing straightforward and predictable so you always know what to expect.

Quick Fix Retainer

Most one-time fixes are billed upfront as a small retainer fee. This reserves time in my schedule and covers the full cost of the work, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Project Retainer

Larger projects typically start with a 30–50% retainer, with the remaining balance tied to clearly defined milestones or delivery. No surprise invoices, no scope creep without discussion.

Monthly Retainers

CTO-for-hire and ongoing support arrangements are billed as monthly retainers, paid in advance, with a defined number of hours and response expectations.
