Any of this sound familiar?

  • Can’t find anybody good on Fiverr or Upwork, don’t know who you can trust, or don’t even know where to start looking for somebody?
  • You’re worried that service providers might be taking advantage of you to sell you into stuff you don’t need… or make you dependent on them for everything.
  • You’re not even exactly sure what you need. You need somebody with experience and judgement to step in and help… and finding somebody you can trust seems impossible.
  • Don’t know who to hire for that job you need help with, but it is too large for Fiverr and too small for a qualified consultant?
  • You need somebody who understands business and marketing…. AND the tech stuff. And it seems like most people can only do one or the other.

I can take it off your plate… and make your site do what you need it to do. Via flexible, ala carte technical services for WordPress sites.

No big commitments. No massive estimates. We keep it flexible by using a credit system. Just put credits on account… and we’ll deduct them as we do what you need done on your website.

Most agencies that do development services for WordPress usually want to blimp up and overcomplicate things. And you have no idea what you’ll be spending before going into it. Worse, you have to contact them and get into all the details of your project and listen to their “sweet talk”. Only to get a fatty estimate and a sales pitch. You don’t want any of that. Plus, they usually overestimate those things to cover their bases.

I like to keep things simple and flexible. Put credits on your account. Pricing is upfront. And then we get the work done. You’re kept in the loop the whole time. Pay as you go.

Competent, trustworthy and fast.

“I can’t speak highly enough of David. If you run a blog or membership website and you want someone that is knowledgeable, honest, efficient, trustworthy and just a genuinely nice and fun person to work with then look no further, you’ve found your man. He knows his stuff and if he doesn’t he will tell you. Honestly, I’ve rarely worked with someone as competent, trustworthy and fast.”
Mark Farrell

Incredibly timely, highly responsive

“After several frustrating hours of trying to move my primary WordPress navigation to where I wanted it, I gave up reached out David to see ask if he offered any direct assistance for such things. Fortunately, he was able to work me into his schedule. In a matter of minutes he not only fixed the navigation issue, but also identified a number of additional issues and fixed those, too. David was incredibly timely, highly responsive, and went out of his way to make sure that my membership site was configured for an optimal user experience.”

A joy to work with

Thank you for getting my site up and running so fast. What a relief to have that done. As a non-tech person, I can’t tell you what it means to know I have someone to call on who knows what to do, and does it so well. You are a joy to work with. Yesterday’s session with you pointed me in the right direction. So much so that I woke in the wee hours of the morning, and wrote out three pages of ideas!

I have built four websites. All were crap. When I decided to build a new website to move my online course content onto, I knew I needed help. But I was nervous. I have hired techies in the past and it just never went well. The problem is, I’m not a techie. It’s not my area of expertise. I don’t speak the lingo. Getting a site built that was functional, visually pleasing and within my capabilities to manage seemed like a big ask.

I have been a member of the Blog Marketing Academy and I always appreciated David Risley’s straight-goods approach to coaching. So, I decided to reach out and seek his advice. How do you go about finding trustworthy, affordable technical support? Imagine my surprise and gratitude when David offered to help.

In the end, I got just what I wanted – a conversion-based, mobile responsive website that I can manage on my own. I cannot stress what a huge endeavor this has been for me. Tech stuff scares the beejeesus out of me! When I got anxious, David made it easy. When I got stuck, David coached me through it. David Risley made the impossible possible. As a result, I now have a website I can be proud of.

I would highly recommend David Risley to anyone who wants to get free of the fear and frustration that comes with being a non-techie in the online world of business. If you’re struggling to find technical support, look no further. David Risley is a clear, credible and responsive coach. He’s also a very nice guy!

I plan to continue to call upon his expertise in helping me to build my online business.

My website and membership site had become so filled with problems I decided to press the “reset button” and start over again. However, what I didn’t know was whether I should start from scratch and redo both sites or try and repair the existing sites. I scheduled a meeting with Dave and within a few short minutes he knew exactly what to do. He strongly believed I should not start over. We established a plan based on Dave’s recommendations that’s worked beautifully.

Now my website and membership site have been separated, and the membership site was upgraded to the new Buddyboss platform and theme.

In the first couple days he reduced the site’s footprint to make it faster, created a new subdomain for the membership site and separated it from the main website, streamlined and simplified both sites utilizing Thrive Themes, changed and improved hosting, and many other things.

I’m already receiving compliments from my members about how great it looks and how much easier it is to navigate. And my main site is ready to support important marketing campaigns coming soon. There is plenty of work to do to keep improving both sites, but now it’s possible, I have a clear direction and both sites work!

I could never have done this work without Dave. A thousand thank-yous, Dave!”

I really enjoyed your June 28th video and article on security plugins. You are such an excellent communicator! I appreciate your attention to detail in explaining the ins and outs of protecting a website. Watching the video and reading the article reminded me again of why I trust you to work on my sites. Your honest, intelligent, and you have your client’s best interest at heart. Additionally, you know how to explain things clearly and practically. You are able to strike a rare balance between handling all the geeky technical stuff and explaining issues in a way that empowers your clients to do better.

I first met David about ten years ago. He stood out to me because I always found him to be an extremely honest, nice guy who really knows wordpress and the blogging for business models. I trust him 100% on these subjects. Every time we have worked together it has been helpful. He always responds quickly and we solve whatever needs solving. I personally wouldn’t even try to have a wordpress based business without his help. I have gotten to know him pretty well during all this time and continue to be grateful for his WP knowledge and kindness-based approach to life. I do not hesitate to recommend David fully and I simply would not do that with a lot of internet marketers because I think they are a tad sleazy.

If You’d Like To Have My Help, Here’s How It Works

There are no contracts. No “free strategy calls” where I’m going to then try to sell you on a multi-thousand dollar project.

I like to keep things flexible – both for you and for me.

So, I work on a simple credit system. Anytime Credits can be used either for strategy calls or tech service… this way we can even schedule a call together to discuss your project if you need to.

Credits go on your account and they do not expire. Roughly speaking, a credit is equal to about an hour of work. But, keep in mind… I can work pretty fast here. An hour by me isn’t the same as an hour by somebody who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

Ready To Get Going?

I’ve spoken to too many people who have had bad experience with other service providers who misled them. Charged them a bunch of money and created a site which, unfortunately, was too difficult to manage.

Worse, some agencies build things in such a way where you become reliant on them completely. You end up feeling “stuck”.

That is very much against my philosophy. I believe in digital sovereignty. I want you to feel empowered with your own website. I want you to be in control at all times. I’m hear to help you, but I have no interest in you becoming reliant on me for every little thing.

You have my word that I will always advise you in your best interest. I will never try to take advantage of you. I will treat your site just like I would if it were mine.

I look forward to working with you.

My approach to technical services is not to give concrete upfront estimates. Instead, you can purchase credits with upfront pricing and we’ll use those credits toward “pay as you go” services. Then, we can do big things or small things… depending on your needs.

Estimates take up a lot of time. It incentivizes agencies to overestimate and you therefore almost always end up paying more. It also incentivizes agencies to go into “sales mode” to try to close the deal and that’s not particularly enjoyable for anybody.

So, I keep things simple. Tech services here are “pay as you go”. Credits are available using upfront pricing. You’re in control the whole time. No commitments. Easier for everybody.

Well, I can give you my “gut feeling” on it if you want to get in touch with me. But, in the end, my clients are always better served using this credit approach than if they were to work with another company that does upfront estimates.

I go pretty fast. I use tools I’m very familiar with so we don’t waste time.

It is highly variable. On the low-end, I once re-built 3 smaller websites for a client and converted him from Thrive Themes to Kadence and those 3 sites took about 3 hours (and hence 3 credits). He wasn’t a Concierge client, so he paid $375 for those 3 hours. But, $375 to fully re-build 3 websites? Not a bad deal for him. 😇

On the other end, I also helped another client migrate his marketing funnels and list out of Keap (formerly Infusionsoft) and into FluentCRM. It involved re-building all his automations, getting all his tagging right, re-building emails, re-building sales funnels, and more. It was quite the project. Over the course of several months, he probably used about 40 credits for that project.

Concierge clients have many advantages when it comes to technical services.

  • They save 30% on Anytime Credits automatically
  • We can use any of my premium plugins without incurring any licensing costs, since the Toolkit is included in Concierge
  • Since I am maintaining your site and actively involved with how it runs, I know it well and we can work even faster.

Concierge clients use Anytime Credits to get work done on their sites all the time.

And while you don’t need to be a Concierge client to book technical services with me, there are many advantages to it.

Absolutely not. But, credits are 30% cheaper if you’re a client.

So, my specialty here is the technical aspect of your business and website. I work with and build membership sites and the “plumbing” that goes with it. I work with WordPress sites only.

I will not do SEO for you. I will not put together ads. I don’t write content or copy. I don’t do graphics design.

If you’re wondering if what you have in mind is something we can do together, just shoot me a message and ask.
