I will migrate your current website, from wherever it is, onto Statamic. I have experience writing custom migration scripts to minimise, or sometimes eradicate, the need to manually move content.

I am an official certified freelancer with Statamic, meaning my work has been vetted by the Statamic team and I get access to exclusive partner meetings where I get to quiz the core team on best practices and seek advice on issues I have.

I work with web agencies or businesses that are using Statamic as their CMS.
If you are in an agency setting, I get existing developers educated and help ensure best practices are adhered to, help with specification writing and quotations.
Statamic & Livewire
Livewire is a fantastic tool for Laravel developers. When you use Livewire and Statamic, there are some quirks that you need to know how to handle. I know how to handle them.
I use Livewire extensively and would say that using Statamic and Livewire together is one of my specialities.

Case Study
Statamic development case study

Statamic was the perfect fit for their requirements and I replatformed to Statamic. I handled content migration from WordPress into Statamic as well has handling any redirects to retain search engine positions.

Why would you choose Statamic to run your website?
There are a ton of technical reasons why you would choose Statamic. Such as having all your data stored in a version control system, enabling rollbacks and automatic deployments. I won't bore you with the nerdy stuff, so here are a few good non-technical reasons:
Security
Statamic is a modern CMS meaning there is no old code which can be exploited. The most common explots are using database injection - but Statamic doesn't have a database!
You can easily lockdown your control panel, to stop anyone even seeing the login screen, let alone hack it.
Statamic is built on Laravel meaning it has all of the security features that Laravel has.
Load Speed
This website is built using Statamic, have you noticed how fast it is to load when you click on another page?
You can set your Statamic site to show plain old HTML pages without needing to constantly render pages using the server. Meaning you can get near perfect speed scores for SEO.
Extendable
The sky's the limit in terms of what you can do with Statamic. You can ask me to build any feature and I can do it with Statamic.
Because Statamic is already built on one of the most popular website frameworks (Laravel), it makes adding custom functionality a doddle.
Premium Support
Statamic has free and pro versions. The professional licence gives me (and you) access to premium support. This means that any bugs fixed nearly immediately by the developers over at Statamic.
