Hi! I’m Alex, and I run Cobalt Grid, my freelance web development business.
I’ve been creating websites, programs, widgets and more since I could use a computer, and professionally since 2018. From online communities and groups, to portfolio and business sites, and even medical devices and applications, I have been involved in a wide range of projects for clients from multiple sectors.
My experience mainly lies in web development, crafting elegant web pages and functional applications that are a perfect match to help my client's business, project or community thrive.

What do you get?
We work hard to ensure that you get exactly the right solution for your specific purpose. By choosing Cobalt Grid, you are choosing a developer who cares about their work and the outcome from the project. Unlike many other agencies, we won't charge extreme fees for nit-picky things here and there; we will be as invested in your project as you are.
Here is what you can expect from start to finish:
Initial Contact
Once you get in contact with us, we'll schedule a chat to discuss your ideas and project in more detail, taking a look over anything you have done previously and the end goals for your project with us.
Proposal
After we are happy we understand what you are looking for, we will write you a detailed proposal detailing our plan to fulfil your goals. This will include the financial and legal bits of course, but most importantly it will outline what the final product will be able to do, and timeline for deliverables and demos. After you accept this, we can get started on crafting the perfect solution for you.
Discovery
After we've agreed to work together, we will hold detailed workshops with you to explore in-depth what you want to get out of the project. This is the time where we will plan the timeline for the project, and make sure we completely understand what you want to achieve.
Development
Through an iterative process of creating design concepts and discussing with you and gaining user feedback, you'll be able to see your project come to life. After we have completed our development process, together we'll have the chance to take a detailed look into how the solution works, and make any changes or modifications as required.
Deployment
Depending on our original agreement, we'll assist you in transitioning from any previous service or platform into your sparkling new one, with support and guidance on infrastructure and other technical bits. We can even manage all of this for you too!
Support
We care about your post-completion experience, and will support you as far as possible. If we are providing deployment and maintenance as part of our services, then we will be with you every step of the way.Alternatively, if you choose to take the project and continue without us, we would of course be there to help you with any questions and support you might need.
