Ways to work together
I work with stores that already make money. So every engagement starts with understanding the system, not with a guess.
Where most start
Architecture audit
For teams being pitched a rewrite, a replatform or a big budget who want an independent view first. Five business days, report and call.
Fixed price · on request
Details →Project work
Staged modernization
When it's clear what needs to change and you need someone to design it and see it through to production.
Each stage has a fixed price
Details →Monthly
Fractional tech lead
For stores without a strong CTO. Architecture, roadmap, vendor review, releases.
Monthly · on request
Details →Two common directions inside modernization
- Headless 1C-Bitrix
A Next.js storefront on the existing backend.
- Search and catalog
Elasticsearch: morphology, typos, fast filters.
Audit, project or monthly engagement
| Architecture audit | Modernization | Fractional tech lead | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Good fit when | You're debating a rewrite or switching vendors | You know what to change and need someone to design and build it | No strong CTO, several vendors |
| Timing | Five business days | In stages, each timed after the audit | Monthly |
| What you get | A 15–25 page report and a walkthrough call | Working changes in production, stage by stage | Written decisions, a roadmap, release control |
| Price | Fixed, on request | Fixed per stage, after the audit | Monthly, on request |

What I don't do
- brochure sites and landing pages from scratch;
- hourly "fix this button" support;
- SEO promotion as a standalone service;
- projects that need a ticket executor with no say in architecture.
