About Me
I’m Longsaar Francis, a full-stack web engineer with over four years of experience building reliable web products for startups and businesses.
I help clients turn ideas into scalable, production-ready applications, focusing on performance, maintainability, and systems that won’t need rebuilding a few months after launch.
I work primarily with Typescript - React, Next.js, Node.js - Firebase, and Supabase. I also use WordPress when it is explicitly specified as a project requirement.
I value clear communication, thoughtful technical decisions, and long-term thinking. My goal is to build software that supports real business growth, not just feature delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? I've got answers. Here are some common questions about my services and process.
I primarily work with modern JavaScript frameworks and tools such as React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and Express. For databases, I use MongoDB and Firebase. I also integrate secure payment systems like Paystack, PayPal, and Flutterwave, as well as third-party APIs and backend services. My tech stack continues to evolve with the latest best practices and technologies.
Pricing varies based on what you need, how complex the project is, and your timeline. I'm flexible—whether you prefer a fixed price, hourly rate, or a retainer. To give you an idea, simple websites start from $275 (₦400,000), while larger or more complex apps can go up to $5,000+ (₦7,300,000). I'll share a clear, personalized quote once I understand your project needs.
Yes, I'm highly skilled in WordPress development and have built numerous websites using it. However, I often prefer modern frameworks like Next.js and React for projects that require better performance, scalability, and deeper customization. That said, when WordPress is the right fit, I'm fully equipped to deliver high-quality, optimized solutions with it.
I primarily work on a cash basis with flexible payment terms. I accept upfront deposits (typically 40-60%), milestone-based payments, and final payment upon completion. For startups with compelling ideas, I'm open to discussing equity arrangements or hybrid models on a case-by-case basis.
Project timelines vary based on complexity. Simple websites take 1-4 weeks, medium projects 4-8 weeks, and complex applications 2-6 months. I provide detailed timelines after the initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the development process.
Yes! I offer comprehensive post-launch support including bug fixes, updates, feature additions, and performance optimization. I provide maintenance packages ranging from hourly support to monthly retainers, ensuring your website stays secure and up-to-date.
