Freelance web developer

Freelance web developer with 16 years in WordPress, Shopify and Next.js

I am a freelance web developer and have been coding for the web since 2010, with more than 400 projects behind me. You talk directly to the person writing the code, and you get a written estimate before we start. I work inside your existing setup, whether that is WordPress, Shopify or something built in-house.

  • My lifeline when something is urgent

    Mikkel Tschentscher is my lifeline when something is urgent and nobody else can work it out.

  • The technical help I cannot do without

    I would never be able to serve my clients as well as I do without Mikkel.

  • Sets the standard for other suppliers

    Warning: work with Mikkel and you risk damaging your relationship with every other supplier you have. It happens because he sets, by nature, an extraordinary standard for flexibility, decency and not least delivery time.

Freelance web developer

Typical jobs for a freelance web developer

  • Urgent errors: something broke and nobody in-house knows why.
  • Taking over a project from a previous developer or an agency that stopped.
  • Cleaning up technical debt on a site that has been patched for years.
  • New functionality on top of a system that already runs.
  • Extra capacity for agencies that said yes to more than they can deliver.
  • Integrations between website, webshop and the systems the business runs on.

How I work

  • We have a short call, and I say so if the job is not a fit for me.
  • You get a written estimate with a clear scope before anything starts.
  • I work directly in your own setup and deliver changes in pieces you can approve. No zip files.
  • Everything is documented alongside the code, so knowledge does not sit only with me.

What I do not do

I do not do graphic design from scratch. I am happy to work from Figma and have an eye for detail, but if a visual identity has to be created from nothing, you need a designer on board.

I also do not run ad accounts. I will gladly set up the measurement so an ads specialist can work properly, but I do not touch the budgets.

What you get

Concrete deliverables, not a report of recommendations someone else has to find time for.

  • A written estimate

    With a clear scope: what is included, what is not, and when it is done.

  • Code you own

    Everything I build sits with you from day one, with no licences and no lock-in to me.

  • Documentation alongside the code

    The next developer to open the project can find their way without having to call me first.

  • A video handover

    A short walkthrough at the end that you can rewatch when the questions come up.

The work in practice

View all cases

How it works

Four steps. You know what happens when, and you can stop after any of them.

  1. 01

    We walk through the job

    A 20-30 minute call where you describe what needs to be built or repaired. I ask about platform, access and deadline, and tell you honestly if the job sits outside what I am good at.

  2. 02

    Review of your code

    Small jobs get a price after a short clarification. If a larger existing project needs a technical review first, we agree the price and scope of that review before I open the code.

  3. 03

    Written quote with a clear scope

    You get a firm agreement on what is included, what is not, and when it will be ready. If the scope changes along the way, we deal with it openly instead of letting it drift.

  4. 04

    Delivery in your own setup

    I work in your own repository and your own hosting and deliver in pieces you can see and approve. When we are done, you have the code, the access and documentation that makes you independent of me.

Frequently asked questions

What does a freelance web developer cost?
It depends on the scope of the job, how much existing code I need to read into, and how tight the deadline is. Send two lines about the task, I will ask a couple of clarifying questions and come back with a concrete quote. You get a reply the same day.
What does a freelance web developer do?
All the practical work of building and maintaining websites and webshops: code, integrations, bug fixing and optimisation. With me that covers WordPress, Shopify and Next.js, and I take both short jobs of a few days and longer engagements as part of a team.
Do you only work in Copenhagen?
No. I live in Herlev in the Copenhagen area, but most of the work is remote, and I have clients in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Aalborg and a few abroad. I am happy to meet in person when it makes sense.
Can you take over a project from another developer?
Yes, it is a large part of what I do. I usually spend half a day to a day reading the code first, so you get an honest assessment of its state before we agree to anything bigger.
How quickly can you start?
Smaller jobs I can usually fit in within a week or two, while longer engagements need some planning. Write to me and you will know the same day how the calendar looks right now.
Can we start with a small job?
Please do. A scoped job first is the cheapest way to find out whether we work well together, and I often suggest it myself.
Who owns the code when we are done?
You do, from day one. There are no licences on what I build, and the documentation is written for the next developer. You can change vendor at any time without asking my permission.
