Working with Ghost? Hire me!
Is Ghost misbehaving? Do you need some help? Want your website to include a feature that isn't in your theme? Wish someone else would wrangle that CSS into submission?
I'm your gal. Please use my contact form.
Small jobs are welcome. I can mod your theme to switch to dark mode, add a drop-down menu or table of contents, change image sizes, retrieve some values from a public API, make custom pages for your theme, and more!
Get in touch and let's see how I can help you make your Ghost site exactly how you want it!
On a forum for Ghost users and developers, I posted a particular feature I wanted to add to my site, and asked if anyone was interested in building it. Ms. Sarisky immediately contacted me, and after a few emails to make sure the details were agreed upon, got to work. In a few days I had the feature I wanted, coded very cleanly and professionally. I installed it, and it worked perfectly the first time I tested it.
If you are looking for software development work, you should definitely contact Cathy Sarisky. I’ve now got her in my contact list with an A+ beside the name.

Can I see some of your work?
Yes and no. Much of the work I do is smaller jobs, not entire sites, where I'm customizing a theme, not creating a whole site from zero. I encourage clients to buy/choose a theme that gets them 'close' to the goal, because that's a strategy for saving money compared to starting from zero! Much of the credit for the looks of the sites below goes to the theme creator, who I've linked to credit for their awesome work.
Here are some examples of how I've made great themes better fit my clients' needs and wants:
- Roostyreports.com - add 'QuickLinks' section automatically generated for each product card. (Reiro theme customization)
- Forwardky.com - add page views counter (integration with clicky) to the Krabi theme.
- Drashti.com - customize Siskin theme, add testimonials carousel & forms
- Starbuck.org - edit layout of authors page. (Edition theme)
- BlueLightReviews - add a search box in the middle of the hero section. Tweak header to make Blue actually be blue. (Edition theme)
- The Sustainable Investor - add a user-editable banner box across the top of Tripoli.
- City pages and geo-localization for CityMyWay (like subsites!) (Tripoli Theme)
- Deeply nested content for https://elenaeleadi.com.
- Drop down menus, related and featured posts for https://www.digitaltourbus.com/ (10k posts!)
Here's some other work that wasn't theme customization.
- Bulk repricing of subscriptions (via Stripe API) and MailChimp/MemberPress to Ghost import for https://austinpolitics.net/
- Convert a Webflow export to Ghost for https://grand.io
- Set up Cloudflare to enable institutional access (IP-based) to Ghost, for https://chinatrademonitor.com.
- Set up full text indexing, including PDF file content, for https://library.rolltoroll.org.
I've also been known to work on other platforms... Here's a review from work I did (via Catch A Fire) on a troublesome Wix migration:

How much does it cost? There are a lot of variables for custom website work, but here's a short list of common items:
