From Tech To Strategy:

WordPress For Business…
Simplified.

My weekly newsletter is for creators, membership site owners, coaches and marketers using WordPress. Sent every Monday morning.

Hey, I’m David

Yup, I know. Finding somebody you can trust with your website and talks to you like a normal person can be daunting. I started Concierge specifically to fix that. So that you can be on a first-name basis with your “web guy”.

My intention is to provide a “one stop shop”. Where I can utilize the best hosting, the best services, the best plugins and themes… and basically help run my clients’ sites just like I run my own. Not only that, I want to provide something that truly feels like a WordPress CONCIERGE.

  • “He’s been my rock.”

    David is awesome, couldn’t ask for anyone better to help me with my projects and business. I trust him 100% I’ve been in his realm for many years using his courses and in 2024 knew he was the one to tackle one of our biggest projects to date in 20 years in business! … and he’s been my rock. He’s easy and so gentle with my total tech-unsaviness. He gives you input, is responsive, knowledgeable, genuine and a family man, what else do you want?!

  • “Best decision I’ve made for my business in the past year or more.”

    Hands down, deciding to have David become my webmaster/tech guru was the best decision I’ve made for my business in the past year or more. He immediately diagnosed my tech issues, helped me upgrade the site on my current host, and did it quickly and efficiently. The monthly money I pay David is a bargain!
