About Paul, the Web Dev Handyman

I’m Paul Kragthorpe, the developer behind Web Dev Handyman. I help small businesses and marketing agencies with the website work they need done, from small fixes to custom development.

The idea is simple: when something in your building needs fixing, you call someone who knows the work. Your website deserves the same practical help.

Building websites since 2001

I started developing websites in my free time while serving in the U.S. Air Force. After my military service and studies in Computer Science and Information Technology, I worked in technical support while continuing to build websites.

In 2011, I joined WebRanking as an SEO specialist and web developer. After six years there, I went out on my own, partnering with agencies and small businesses on websites and the ongoing changes that keep them useful.

Work directly with your developer

Some businesses need a full website. Others need a reliable person to change a page, repair a form, or implement a technical recommendation. Both are legitimate projects.

I can help define the work, make the changes, and explain what was done. You do not have to know the technical cause before asking for help.

A useful fit for agencies, too

If your team has a strategy and a development task list, I can help with implementation. We can agree on the brief, availability, communication, and review process before getting started.

Learn about agency development support, small business website help, and how pricing works.

Tell me what your website needs next.

See an example of this work in The Movement Clinic website repair case study, covering navigation repairs, shared forms, and WordPress cleanup.

Apps I build and maintain

Alongside client work, I build my own apps. Here are five projects that put my development work into people’s hands, whether they’re driving, cruising, or taking a break with a game.
