Thinking about launching a website for your business but not sure where to start? You’re in the right place.
I’m Mark Jandoc, a freelance web designer and WordPress developer based in Manila, Philippines. With over 9 years of experience, I help startups, entrepreneurs, and small to medium-sized businesses turn their ideas into fast, mobile-friendly, and SEO-ready websites—without the stress or bloated costs.
In this post, I’ll walk you through how I work, what to expect when you partner with me, and how we go from your first message to a fully launched website.
Why Choose a Freelancer Over an Agency?
When you’re starting or growing a business, every peso counts. One of the first major steps in building your online presence is getting your website up—but that doesn’t mean you need to spend a fortune.
As a freelance website developer in the Philippines, I work directly with startups and small to medium-sized businesses who need high-quality, functional websites without the high overhead of a traditional agency.
Here’s why working with a freelancer like me might be the smarter choice for your business:
1. You Only Pay for What You Need
Agencies often offer all-in packages that include services and tools you may not actually use. I take a lean and intentional approach—focusing only on what’s essential to get your site live, functional, and effective.
No upselling. No fluff. Just what your business really needs.
2. Tailored for Startups & SMEs
Your business is unique—and so are your goals. I tailor every project based on your current stage and priorities. Whether you’re launching your first website or improving an existing one, I provide custom web solutions that align with your budget, timeline, and growth goals.
I build sites using the latest content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, WooCommerce, and other scalable tools to make sure your website is easy to manage, flexible, and ready to grow with you.
3. Direct, One-on-One Collaboration
When you work with me, you talk directly to me—not a project manager or a rotating team of account handlers. I work hand-in-hand with my clients, ensuring every step is clear, collaborative, and aligned with your vision.
4. No Hidden Costs
Transparency is non-negotiable.
Before we start, I provide a detailed proposal with clear pricing and scope. There are no surprise charges or unexpected fees along the way—just honest, upfront communication.
5. Smart Features That Serve Your Goals
You don’t need 20 plugins or 10 unnecessary pages. I’ll help you define the core website features that support your business goals. From contact forms to e-commerce integration, booking systems, and SEO tools—you get only what you need to succeed online.
6. Long-Term Support, Minimal Costs
Unlike some agencies that vanish after launching your site, I’m here for the long run. From minor content updates to troubleshooting and scaling, I offer affordable ongoing support to ensure your website continues to grow with your business.
Work with Someone Who Understands Small Business
I’ve spent the last 9 years helping brands just like yours launch smart, strategic, and sustainable websites. I understand the pressure of starting small—and the power of doing things right the first time.
Whether you’re a startup founder or an established entrepreneur, I provide cost-effective, high-quality web development that’s built around your needs—not an agency’s template.
