Nigel, can you help? See what I can help with
Small jobs welcome

You work directly with me.

What's doing your head in?

You don't need to know what the technical problem is called. Here are a few things I can help sort out.

  • Fix my website

    Broken forms, awkward mobile layouts, WordPress problems, content changes and small website builds.

    For example: “The form says it sent. Nobody got it.”

  • Sort out my spreadsheets

    Clean up messy files, fix formulas, combine information and make recurring reports easier.

    For example: “Only one person understands this spreadsheet. They've left.”

  • Stop the double handling

    Reduce repetitive emails, data entry and copying information between systems.

    For example: “Why am I typing this in twice?”

  • Make my software work together

    Connect your website, CRM, accounting software and other business tools.

    For example: “These two systems are apparently not on speaking terms.”

  • Help me work out what to do

    Investigate something broken, review your setup, or give you a practical second opinion before you spend money.

    For example: “I've been told we need a whole new system. Do we?”

Not sure where your problem fits? Tell me anyway.

Start with the thing that's annoying you.

  1. Step 1: Tell me what's happening.

    A quick description is fine. No technical brief required.

  2. Step 2: We agree the next step and the cost.

    I'll explain what I suggest, what it will cost, and whether we need to investigate first.

  3. Step 3: I get on with it.

    I'll keep you informed and explain what's been done in plain English.

Straightforward pricing.

Tell me about your job
Nigel McLaughlin smiling, wearing a black shirt, with bright red spiky hair.

Yes, there is an actual Nigel.

I'm Nigel McLaughlin, based in Melbourne. I've worked across websites, business software, integrations and automation, helping people make their systems work better.

I'm comfortable with the technical bits, but I speak human. You can explain what's getting in the way, and I'll help work out a practical way to fix it.

You work directly with me, from the first conversation through to the work itself.

Right. What's annoying you?

What's broken, taking too long, or making your day harder? A quick description is enough to start.
