ROYL Development

I'll Take It
From Here

Your site is broken. I fix it. I step in, figure out what went wrong, and get it running.

What I do

I fix more than just websites.

  • Crashing Rails apps? Fixed.
  • Overcomplicated hosting setups? Simplified.
  • Broken front-ends and flaky code? Cleaned up.
  • No deployment process? Built and running.

I help teams recover from messy projects and get things working again. Clean code, solid hosting, clear process.

Examples of the work I've done

Problems I've solved

Rails App Rescue

Moved a failing Rails app off a single server and onto hosting that stays up and scales.

Deployment Cleanup

Cleaned up the development pipeline so code gets tested, deployed, and monitored without manual steps.

Front-end Cleanup

Untangled bloated front-end code to improve load speed and usability

Founders' Rescue

Helped founders recover from incomplete freelance work and finally ship

System Integration

Built a WordPress plugin that connects multiple systems and automates the data flow between them.

CRM Integration

Built a WordPress plugin that pulls data from multiple CRMs into one place and keeps everything in sync.

My Approach

01

Understand the real problem

I look at the code, the hosting, and the team situation. The fix starts with knowing what's actually wrong.

02

Make a clear, honest plan

I tell you what needs fixing, how I'll fix it, and what it'll cost. Plain language, fixed price.

03

Fix what's broken, reinforce what works

I'll work with you to fix the problem and make sure it doesn't happen again.

04

Support the system or hand it off cleanly

Once it's stable, I can stick around for support or hand everything off to your team with clear documentation.

Solo, fast, simple.

One person, clear communication, no layers between you and the fix.

What ROYL Development Offers

Roy Lindauer

I'm Roy. I've been building for the web since 2005. Apps, sites, infrastructure. I work with founders, teams, and agencies who need someone to step in and fix things, usually after someone else didn't.

If your project feels fragile or overly complex, I'll make it solid.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of projects do you take on?

I focus on cleanup, stability, and rebuilding. Fixing broken sites, stabilizing web apps, cleaning up code, or moving to better hosting.

Do you build new apps and features?

Yes. I build Rails apps, WordPress sites and plugins, and Laravel applications.

Do you only work with Rails?

No. I work with PHP (Laravel, WordPress), Ruby on Rails, and DevOps/infrastructure. I handle front-end work too, but I do my best work on the backend and operations side.

What happens after I reach out?

I'll ask a few questions about your project. If it's a good fit, I'll send you a plan and a fixed-price estimate. Straightforward.

Do you do ongoing support?

Yes, for projects I've built or fixed. I know the system already, so ongoing support makes sense.

Can you help if another developer disappeared?

Yes. That's where most of my projects start. I step in, assess what's there, and put together a clear plan to get it working.
