Hire Web2py Developer
7+ Years Python Development | Rapid Web Application Development with Web2py
I build Web2py applications with clean MVC architecture, built-in security, and rapid deployment — ideal for enterprise web apps, internal tools, and data-driven platforms.
Web2py is a shrinking ecosystem, but there are thousands of production applications still running on it that need maintenance, bug fixes, and new features. I'm one of the few developers who will take on Web2py work without immediately pushing for a full rewrite. Projects I handle: adding new DAL-based features to existing Web2py apps, optimizing slow SQLFORM-heavy pages, migrating Scheduler jobs, and planning phased migrations to Django for organizations ready to move — keeping the existing app running while the new one is built alongside it, with zero-downtime cutover.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectWeb2py in Production — Making It Work or Moving On Safely
Not every Web2py app needs a rewrite. Here's how I assess what's right for yours.
Web2py is niche. Most Python developers haven't used it and won't take the project. You're stuck.
I've worked with Web2py DAL, SQLFORM, the Scheduler, and the LOAD component. I can add features, fix bugs, and improve performance without a full rewrite.
'Let's rewrite it in Django' sounds simple. In practice it takes 12 months, goes over budget, and the old app has to be frozen while the new one is built.
New Django modules deployed alongside the existing Web2py app. Traffic migrated route by route. Old app stays live until the new one covers 100% of functionality. Zero-downtime cutover.
Web2py's DAL abstracts SQL well but makes it easy to fire N+1 queries without realizing it. Pages slow to load, database CPU spiking.
Slow queries identified with Web2py's built-in query logger. DAL queries refactored to use joins instead of nested loops. Caching added for repeated heavy reads.
Web2py Scheduler tasks failing without alerts. No visibility into which jobs ran, which failed, and why.
Scheduler worker logs reviewed and structured. Failed tasks trigger email or Slack alerts. Job history table queried to surface failure patterns.
Full-time hiring takes 2–3 months of recruiting, interviews, and notice periods. Your roadmap sits idle.
No recruiting pipeline, no notice period. Reach out today and we can be writing code by end of week.
Account managers relay messages to developers you've never spoken to. Feedback takes days to reach the person building.
You talk directly to me — the person writing every line. Slack, email, or video. No middlemen, no message relay.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectHow It Works
A straightforward process built for fast starts and transparent delivery.
Tell Me About Your Project
Send the project form with your requirements, timeline, and what success looks like. I respond within 24 hours with questions and a scoping proposal.
Agree on Scope & Rate
We align on deliverables, timeline, and engagement model — hourly, fixed-price, or retainer. A signed agreement before any code is written.
Web2py Environment Audit + Documentation
Existing Web2py version noted, DAL schema exported, Scheduler jobs documented, and dependencies catalogued. Migration path assessed: maintain in place vs. phased Django migration.
Feature Development or Migration Module
New features built in Web2py DAL using existing patterns, or new Django app modules built in parallel. Either path: old system stays live throughout.
Delivery: Working Features or Migration Milestone
New functionality tested against the existing DB. If migrating: Django module deployed to a subdomain, traffic routing plan documented for stakeholder review.
Transparent process, no surprises, no scope creep without discussion.
Code, IP, repository, deployment credentials — all yours from day one.
Daily or weekly async updates. You always know what's built, what's next, what's blocked.
Common Questions
How quickly can I start?
Within 24–48 hours after scope is agreed.
How do we communicate?
Directly — Slack, email, or video. No account managers or relay chains.
What if requirements change?
Changes discussed openly — scope and timeline impact agreed before proceeding.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full IP ownership transferred on delivery. No strings attached.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectPricing & Rates
Transparent, flexible pricing that scales with your project complexity and needs
Engagement Models
Perfect for smaller tasks, quick fixes, or when scope isn't fully defined. Pay only for time spent.
Clear scope, defined deliverables, and fixed price. Great when you know exactly what you need built.
Ongoing monthly commitment for continuous development, maintenance, or on-call support.
Pricing is always discussed upfront and aligned with scope. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why.
Pricing Questions
Can I get a discount for longer engagements?
Yes. Retainer arrangements and long-term commitments typically have lower rates, reflecting the stability and predictability they provide.
Do you offer fixed-price projects?
Absolutely. If your project scope is clear and defined, I can agree on a fixed price upfront with specific deliverables and timeline.
What if scope changes mid-project?
We discuss and adjust transparently. Changes are tracked, impact is calculated, and we align on new pricing or timeline before proceeding.
Do rates go up for more complex work?
Yes. Complex architecture, legacy migrations, or technical leadership responsibilities command higher rates reflecting the skill required.
Do you offer payment plans or installments?
We can discuss flexible payment schedules for larger projects. Installments typically align with project milestones and deliverables.
How is the final rate determined?
During our initial conversation, I'll understand your project scope, complexity, and needs — then discuss what makes sense and agree on pricing together.
