Coding with AI
AI didn't kill the joy of coding. I almost did.
Letting agents run ahead while I skimmed the diffs drained the fun out of coding. Here is what brought it back.
I build secure, robust, tested Statamic sites and Laravel apps. Built to last, patched fast, no vendor lock-in.
Vetted by Statamic
Statamic has reviewed and recognised my work, so you can skip the vendor screening and hire with confidence.
Pre-vetted by Statamic.
Direct line to the Statamic team for support and roadmap insights.
Code follows Statamic best practices, so your team can build on it confidently.
No fluff
No lengthy email exchanges, multiple calls, proposals, and negotiations. Book a call, agree on scope, and get started.
Team-ready
I’ll quickly adapt to your process, whether that’s Jira, Linear, Slack, GitLab, etc. I’ve seen all kinds of setups over the years.
Yours to own
Every project ships with tests, docs, and a clean handover. Your team can maintain the codebase without me in the loop.
Easy and smooth process due to a very high skill level and great communication.
Tested, hardened code with a safe update path. When a vulnerability is found, your site gets patched fast.
Choose how we work together: daily rate or fixed-price projects.
I help scope features, explain trade-offs, and write documented, tested code your team can build on.
No PM layers or proxies. You work with me, the person shipping your code.
Deep expertise in Statamic/Laravel means fewer surprises and code that holds up.
Claude Code handles the busywork. Architecture, security, and code review stay human-led.
Phenomenal, speedy work. Jason consistently goes above and beyond. We'll definitely be in touch on the next project.
Years of Statamic best practices, page-builder patterns, and pre-built Alpine.js components rolled into one starter kit. Your project starts on a proven foundation instead of from scratch.
Having worked with Jason for more than 5 years, I knew he was the right person to help build Clearwise as the CTO.

HUGE thank you for your impeccable, high-quality work as well as your patience and creativity.
Being a Statamic Partner means the Statamic team has reviewed and recognised my work on the platform. For you, that means three things:
vetted quality (Statamic only lists developers who've shipped real high-quality work),
direct line to the Statamic team for support escalation or roadmap context,
confidence that my work follows Statamic best practices, and you'll get an easy-to-maintain, solid codebase that your team can build on.

It can range from a small Statamic marketing website to a big news portal or a hybrid Statamic–Laravel app (think membership platform). Or from a simple app to a more complex SPA with Inertia.js and Filament admin panel.
Lastly, I focus on the Laravel ecosystem. This is what I'm good at, and what I enjoy. And I think you can pretty much build anything you want within the Laravel ecosystem.
My day rate is $480 / €420 / £360.
Most projects fall into a few brackets.
A small marketing site (homepage, +2-3 unique pages/layouts) is typically ~10 days of work (2 weeks, $4800).
A mid-size site with a blog, multiple content types, and light integrations runs about 20 to 30 days (4-6 weeks, $9600-$14400).
Hybrid Statamic and Laravel apps, such as membership platforms and large-scale sites, are often project-priced ($20000+). For a precise quote, send a brief, and I will reply within 24 hours.
If you feel more comfortable with fixed pricing and you need a standard Statamic website with a clear scope, then no problem, reach out, and I'll send an estimate.
Simple, no long sales cycle:
Book a 15-min intro call so we can confirm fit and scope.
You share designs (or I can help create them), I estimate and send a fixed quote for clear-scope builds, or we agree on a daily-rate engagement for ongoing work.
We kick off in weekly sprints. Each sprint ends with a working demo and your feedback.
Final delivery includes documented code, deployment setup, and a smooth handover so your team can maintain the site in-house without depending on me. Or, if you'd rather not, I offer a maintenance retainer and keep supporting your site. Either way, you keep control of your codebase and service accounts, so there's no vendor lock-in.
For most projects, I can start within 1 week of the intro call.
I am EU-based in Vilnius, Lithuania (Eastern European Time, UTC+2/+3) and work remotely with clients worldwide.
US East Coast: 2 to 4 hours of live overlap (your 9am to 1pm ET maps to my late afternoon and early evening). Enough room for daily standups, planning calls, and same-day reviews.
US West Coast: 1 to 2 hours of overlap with my late evening (your 8am to 10am PT). Most work runs async with a weekly call to align on priorities.
Australia: 1-2 hours of overlap with my early morning (your 3pm to 5pm). Most work runs async with a weekly call to align on priorities.
Outside live hours, I work async through your project tool (Jira, Linear, Trello, GitHub) and record Loom walkthroughs for demos, code reviews, and decisions.
Yes, I'd be happy to! And congrats on discovering Statamic and considering the migration. You'll thank yourself and wonder “why I didn't do this earlier”.
You’ll work directly with me, Jason Baciulis.
For websites: SALT (Statamic, Alpine, Laravel, Tailwind). For web apps, Laravel with Filament (Livewire, Tailwind). For certain projects, Laravel with Inertia (Vue.js or React.js) and Laravel AI SDK.
Yes. If your Statamic project needs maintenance, version upgrades, or just someone to keep up with the crazy pace of security patches as new vulnerabilities surface daily, my standard package covers all of that. You can also add or remove monthly dev time based on your needs.
Absolutely. For less technical clients, I have my own process. For teams with an established workflow, I'll follow your conventions and adapt to your process. Whether that's Jira, Basecamp, GitLab, whatever it is, I've seen all kinds of setups over the years.
Coding with AI
Letting agents run ahead while I skimmed the diffs drained the fun out of coding. Here is what brought it back.
Freelancing
AI erased capacity as the reason to hire an agency over a freelancer. Now, a single developer can outweigh the team. Here is how to vet them before you sign.
Statamic
I moved every freelance build from WordPress to Statamic 5 years ago. Here is the honest case on speed, security, and maintainability.
