What clients say about working with me

Mitchell Allen

"I needed a new home for my former Substack newsletter. Magic Pages let me import the subscribers, even though I had already deleted my Substack account. Honestly, Jannis is the best part about the service! Ghost is great, but Ghost is inscrutable. Jannis offered me all the help that I needed."

Common questions about Ghost consulting

How quickly can you help?

I typically have availability within 48 hours for consulting calls. For emergencies, I try to make time same-day when possible. Just mention it's urgent when booking.

What if my issue takes longer than expected?

I'll always give you a realistic estimate upfront. If something takes longer than anticipated, we'll discuss options before proceeding. You're never locked into spending more than you're comfortable with.

Do you work with Ghost self-hosted installations?

Absolutely! I work with Ghost installations everywhere - self-hosted, Magic Pages, other managed hosting, or any platform. The hosting doesn't matter; solving your problem does.

Can you teach me instead of doing it for me?

Of course! Many clients prefer to learn how to handle things themselves. I'm happy to guide you through the process, explain what I'm doing, and make sure you're comfortable managing it going forward.

How does billing work?

You pay for the actual time spent on consultation. I'll give you a clear estimate upfront and track time transparently during our session. No hidden fees or surprise charges.

Why should I choose you over other Ghost consultants?

I run Magic Pages, hosting hundreds of Ghost sites, which means I work with Ghost every day across many different use cases. This daily hands-on experience with real Ghost challenges gives me practical insights into what works and what doesn't.

Ready to solve your Ghost challenges?
