    Websites for musicians
    As I’m a musician, most of the work that I do is for musicians. I understand them, I understand what they are trying to say and do, and can help them realise this painlessly.
    I am now increasingly consulting on websites, their content and success. In particular, I’m called in when a client needs to add something database-driven: a content management system, a shop, a diary or something similar. Just contact me if you think I will be able to help.

    Editor/blog writer

    For much of my working life I was a magazine editor, writing and editing huge amounts of copy for a newsstand magazine and its website. So if you need something written – whether it’s copy for the website, a blog or anything else, let me know and I’ll help you out. My composing and lyric writing skills experience are proof that I can really add value to your website.  Click here to contact me for a quote.
