About
A small practice, on purpose
TDM Advisory is a one-person practice. You speak to the person doing the work, which means nothing gets lost between a salesperson, an account manager and whoever is actually building your site.
Most of the work starts the same way: a business is busy, the website has not kept up, and the admin behind it has grown into a set of habits nobody chose. The fix is rarely one big rebuild. It is usually a clearer website and two or three connections between tools you already pay for.
I quote a fixed price before anything begins, so the number does not move while the work is in progress. There is no retainer waiting at the end of a project. If you want the next piece built, we scope it separately.
I will also tell you when not to spend money. If your site is fine and the real problem is the process behind it, saying so is more useful than selling you a redesign.
- Who you deal with
- One person, start to finish
- How work is priced
- Fixed quote, agreed before anything starts
- Ongoing commitment
- None by default, no retainers
- Who owns the accounts
- You do, from day one
Remote-first. Most projects run over email and a couple of calls.
Questions about working together
Who actually does the work?
- One person, start to finish. The person who scopes the project writes the copy, builds the site and hands it over. Nothing is passed to an account manager or subcontracted out, which is why the scope is deliberately finite rather than open-ended.
Do you work on a retainer?
- No. Projects are scoped, quoted at a fixed price and finished. If you want more help afterwards you can come back and scope the next piece, but nothing renews automatically and there is no monthly fee holding your website hostage.
What size of business is this for?
- Small businesses, typically ones where the owner is still close to the day-to-day work and can answer questions about how a job actually runs. That closeness is what makes the work possible, because the useful detail lives with the person doing the job rather than in a process document.
What do you not do?
- Anything I would talk you out of buying: a rebuild when the copy is the real problem, a blog nobody will write, monthly fees for a site that does not change, or automation of a process that should simply be removed. If a smaller piece of work solves it, that is what gets quoted.
