I’m Yanni Sanmiguel, a freelance MODX developer based in the UK. I have more than 15 years of experience, and MODX is the only platform I use.
I don’t work from templates or pre-made themes. Before I design anything, I learn how your business works: what slows you down, what your customers need and what your team does every day. Then I build the site, and any tools it needs, around that. The layouts fit your content. The editing screens are simple enough for you and your team to use. The features solve your problem, not someone else’s.
You talk to me, the person who builds your site, from the first message to launch and beyond.

MODX extras: I build and publish my own MODX extras under the MonsterExtras name.
How I work
Discovery: I learn your goals, your content and what slows you down today. Then I send you a clear quote and timeline.
Design: I design the key pages, layouts, colours and components, and we refine them together.
Build: I build on a private link you can log into at any time. The site is fast by default and tested on real devices.
Launch: I train you, then we go live with backups and my support whenever you need it.
I always tell you the cost before I start any work.
Pricing
New websites start from £1,200, with the first year of MODX hosting included.
Fixes, updates, new features, upgrades and speed work are £40 an hour, billed every 5 to 10 hours.
I'll always give you an estimate before I start, no surprices.
