I'm Ian McIlwraith, a Web Developer.

What I offer

Comprehensive Website Development Services

If you’re looking to partner with a website developer over the long term, you’ve come to the right place. I offer full stack development services at a flat hourly rate. I work with companies of all sizes—from sole-proprietors to institutions with 100+ employees. While every company requests a different amount of work, I typically take care of content updates, design updates, feature development, and anything else related to the website.

I specialize in maintaining WordPress and Drupal sites, including those using visual builders as well as custom-coded modules and templates. Additionally, I assist with performance improvements, CMS structure and design, analytics, and security improvements.

Why work with an independent developer?

There are a lot of companies and agencies that offer the same thing as me. So why should you work with an independent developer?

  • Communication. Because you have one point of contact for all your web needs, there’s no question about who can help.
  • Cost-Effectiveness. It’s just me. Without a team or any additional personnel overhead, all the cost savings get pass directly to you.
  • Long-Term Relationship. Building a long-term working relationship with me leads to a greater understanding of your organization and your unique needs, resulting in a website that is perfectly tailored for your company.
  • Custom Solutions. I’m here to develop solutions that are tailored specifically to your business.

As a growing church plant, we approached Ian with the need to develop a website that represented our ministry well and allowed our users ease of access to all of our church’s information. Ian listened to our vision and applied all of our formatting needs exactly as we desired. Working with him was a breeze and the project was completed within the timeframe we needed. We are looking forward to working with Ian again in the future.

I am so thankful for Ian’s skills and expertise and highly recommend him for building a website that can bring your vision to reality! He went above and beyond in answering my questions and making the changes that I requested along the journey so that the website turned out exactly as I wanted. He provided options and alternative choices that I wouldn’t have even known about so that I could make sure I was getting both what I needed for the website but not pay more than was necessary either. He not only built the website but also provided an incredibly helpful video that explained how to go about different tasks on the website moving forward! He was professional and easy to work with throughout the process. Thank you Ian!

Ian created an exceptional website for my event & wedding venue. In the beginning, I didn't know what I needed, but he gave me many suggestions and was able to interpret my desires and create exactly what I wanted. His organized communication throughout the process made my decisions easy! My favorite part about working with him is his foresight and ability to predict what I needed. He answered questions before I even knew I had them and provided tutorials and articles to help me manage the site after he finished. He even gave me a wonderful demo of the site in the middle of the project so that I could collaborate with him and be part of the design process! He was extremely professional and exceeded all of my expectations in only a few weeks! I highly recommend hiring Mcllwraith Enterprises, LLC for your website!

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Ian on my new website. Right from the start he was very responsive and made changes to the site as soon as I requested them. The only thing that held up the process was me at times because I had to write up things for my website. I've been getting even more calls for business now that my new site is up. And on top of that 3 out of 4 customers comment on how much they love my website. His pricing was very fair and the quality was great. Can't speak highly enough abut my experience with Ian and the work that he does. Highly recommend this web designer.
