Technical Consulting
Consulting on technical solutions, system architecture and implementation — for clarity before you invest time and budget.
Clarity before the decision — instead of costly detours
Not every technical decision needs code right away. Often it needs clarity first: Which system fits? Is a switch worth it? Where is the real problem? With well-founded technical consulting you avoid costly detours and wrong decisions.
A neutral assessment, not a sales pitch
I look at your situation and give an honest recommendation — even when the answer is sometimes “you don’t need that”. The goal is a solution that fits your budget and your goals.
From system choice to implementation strategy
Whether choosing the right platform, assessing existing technology, analysing performance or a concrete roadmap for implementation — you get an understandable basis for your next decision.
What audits typically uncover
After many audits, the same patterns keep showing up. The most common findings:
- 40–60 active plugins, a third of them unused — each one a potential security and performance liability.
- Backups stored on the same server as the site: if the server dies, the backup dies with it.
- Forgotten admin accounts of former agencies and freelancers.
- Server response times above 2 seconds caused by overloaded hosting or page-builder bloat.
The good news: in most cases a handful of targeted fixes resolves 80 percent of the issues — no relaunch required.
A second opinion before the big project
Before you sign a 15,000 or 25,000 euro quote, an independent review pays for itself. One real example: a client was advised to do a full relaunch for around 20,000 euros. The analysis showed the actual problems — load time and page structure — could be solved with targeted changes to the existing system for a fraction of that. Sometimes the second opinion confirms the quote instead: then you sign with confidence, knowing exactly what you are paying for.
How an audit works, step by step
- Access: I get read-only access — nothing on your system is changed.
- Inventory: plugins, theme, PHP version, database, hosting.
- Measurement: Core Web Vitals, server response time, mobile rendering.
- Security check: user accounts, update status, backup strategy.
- Report: a prioritised action list in plain language, followed by a walkthrough call.
Duration: typically 3–5 working days. Many recommendations can then be implemented right away — for example as part of ongoing website care.

Frequently asked questions about technical consulting
Who is technical consulting useful for?
For anyone facing a technical decision — a new website, a system switch, performance issues or evaluating a quote.
Do I get a neutral recommendation?
Yes. The recommendation follows your goal and budget, not a product. Sometimes the most honest answer is that something is not needed.
How does a consultation work?
After a short description of your situation I analyse the starting point and deliver an understandable assessment with concrete next steps.
Can implementation follow the consultation?
It can — but it does not have to. You can also implement the recommendation with another provider. The consulting stands on its own.
Technical consulting for web projects — neutral, well-founded and practical
Well-founded technical consulting creates clarity before time and budget are invested. Not every decision needs code right away — often it needs the right questions first: Which CMS or shop system fits? Is a switch worth it? Where is the real problem? As an independent IT consultant I analyse your starting point and give an honest, practical recommendation.
System choice and technical audit
Choosing the right platform determines the success of a web project for years. I support the system selection between WordPress, WooCommerce, OpenCart, Magento and other systems, and review existing installations in a technical audit for security, performance and maintainability — including concrete recommendations for action.
Performance and SEO analysis
Slow load times and technical SEO errors cost visibility and revenue. With a structured performance analysis and a technical SEO check I uncover the decisive weaknesses and show where the biggest lever is — prepared in an understandable way, even without a technical background.
A neutral recommendation without sales pressure
My recommendation follows your goal and budget, not a product. Sometimes the most honest answer is “you don’t need that”. You get an understandable basis for your next decision — whether as a second opinion on a quote, a roadmap for implementation or neutral project guidance. The consulting stands on its own and commits you to nothing.
