Book Your Call

People usually book this when they're trying to make better decisions, pressure test ideas, or get unstuck on something specific. This is a focused hour to talk through your situation and get clarity from someone who has experience building, advising, and working with modern tools and workflows.

What we can use this time for

Most people bring things like:

  • How to use AI more effectively in your work
  • Pressure testing ideas or offers
  • Simplifying tools and workflows
  • Getting a second opinion before committing more time or money

Who this is for

This session is a good fit if you:

  • Are actively building something or trying to improve how you work
  • Value direct, honest input
  • Want a second perspective before making decisions

What this is not

This session is not:

  • Ongoing consulting
  • Guaranteed implementation or setup
  • A sales call
  • Beginner training

If we decide to look at something hands-on during the call, we can, but the goal is clarity, not completing work.

What happens after

Some people leave with clarity and move forward on their own. Other times, we may identify deeper opportunities where further consulting, a larger audit, or project makes sense. There is never any obligation to do so, only recommendations.

Important notes

  • This is a paid, one-time session
  • Payment is required to book
  • Sessions are non-refundable
  • You may reschedule once with 24 hours notice
  • Please only book if you are open to direct, honest feedback

What people are saying

I originally reached out to Mark after finding his YouTube course on custom post types. He reassured me that the data architecture I had in mind was achievable, though it would require transitioning from ACF Pro to JetEngine. Mark offered a clear, practical, no-shortcode-reliant path forward—unlike other developers I’d spoken with—and then guided me through migrating my data architecture to the new system. What I appreciated most was that Mark stayed committed to the final outcome rather than being strictly bound by the original estimate. When we hit an unexpected hurdle, he explored several solutions on his own time and ultimately developed a custom, Claude-assisted plugin to resolve the issue. I also appreciated him following up after our sessions to check in on the site’s deployment. In addition to his unquestionable expertise in data architecture and his effective use of modern tools, including AI, Mark is personable, easy to work with, and brings a great sense of humour to the process. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone dealing with complex data challenges.

Mark Rescued My Entire Data Structure

I reached out to Mark after seeing his content, and he immediately understood the mess I was in with my travel website's data structure. He put together a clear proposal and got to work that same week. Destinations, attractions, articles, all interconnected through JetEngine relations. He understood the hierarchy I was trying to build (country, region, city) and not only set up the queries and relationships, but wrote custom code so the system automatically classifies content by level when I publish. Over 10+ hours of advisory sessions, he solved problems I didn't even know how to articulate, from relational queries to display logic to front-end dynamic content. I trusted his judgment so much that when he suggested a better builder, I was ready to migrate the whole site. The data architecture is set up perfectly now, and I can scale to hundreds of destinations without the system breaking. If you need someone who genuinely understands how content systems and data architecture work at a deep level, Mark is that person.

We are definitely entering a new era with AI. After stumbling into Mark's videos on youtube, I decided to get on an advisory call with him regarding a specific project that involves several approaches with web apps, wordpress, etc. He helped me put my head around it all, and gave me several suggestions on how to approach all this with Claude Code and really, an overall look at how to approach these things in todays age. He was extremely honest, caring, and, as all this is new, enjoyed putting his thinking cap on to talk things through. If you are on the fence, or just a little hesitant on how to get things going with these new AI approaches, I highly recommend one of these advisory calls.

Mark surfaced obvious flaws in my marketing strategy.

Talking with Mark surfaced obvious flaws in my marketing strategy (I was spreading myself too thin and should focus on one thing: promoting myself instead of trying to build a ’network’ of brands). I’m excited to redirect all of my web stuff to me, and be proudly solo. Super helpful.

He really took the time to understand my business.

Mark helped me work through many nuanced business topics related to business development and client interfacing. I was impressed by his deep knowledge of these topics and his ability to provide valuable insights and advice. One thing that stood out to me about Mark was his attention to detail. He really took the time to understand my business and its unique challenges and opportunities, and tailored his recommendations accordingly. This level of personalized advice was incredibly helpful and helped me to feel more confident in my decision-making. In particular, Mark was able to provide me with valuable insights on how to provide different services, such as SEO and graphic design.

I can gladly recommend Mark.

I am pleased to highly recommend Mark Szymanski and his consultancy services, which have been invaluable during the development stage of our web application. Mark joined our project during a critical phase when we faced the complex challenge of dynamically generating intricate class plans for instructor course management within our Learning Management System. His expertise and insights were crucial in navigating these complexities and contributed significantly to our progress. Mark's ability to quickly diagnose the problem and articulate a clear path forward was pivotal. His proposed solution did not only address the current problem which we were experiencing but was later on taken as a part of the planning system used by all our educators. He brought in deep technical skills, a methodical problem-solving process, and an uncanny ability to simplify what seemed to be complex issues. Mark made a change in the daily planning of our instructors and improved the overall functionality and user experience of our application. He always seemed to find the time to help, verify and reiterate requests made along the way. I can gladly recommend Mark for the services needing professional advice on improvement or development of their technological solutions, more so for those with JetEngine and Bricks Builder in WordPress.

Mark Was awesome to say the least! I hired him to consult on a new business and automated website I am creating. Mark went above and beyond, I was pleasantly surprised to find out he did research on my business competition and really made an effort to understand the industry before we met. He brought perspectives to the table I hadn't considered and with his guidance I was able to avoid some pit falls I didn't see coming. He brought multiple skillsets to the table I can't recommend him enough!

Mark is an exceptionally talented young man. I reached out to him seeking help with an issue on my website, and the only solution I found during my search was a video on his YouTube channel, so I sent him an email with little hopes of him replying, but to my surprise he replied promptly. Mark took some time from what I assume a busy daily schedule and met with me online, during which he was able to resolve my issue within 10 minutes, maybe less. Our meeting was extended for over a couple of hours where we discussed his approach of resolving the issue rather than just fixing the problem, which was enjoyable. Mark’s methodology of tackling issues is so unique and opened a lot of possibilities for my website, and for that I would like to thank him for his assistance.

I am very happy to have met Mark. It was very spontaneous. We met within a few hours and already had a video chat, despite the time difference. Because he knew exactly my problem, he was able to help me in a very short time, so I understood it. In addition, he is a very sympathetic and interesting man. I appreciate this kind of support very much. And I would be happy to continue working with my new international colleague. Thanks a lot.

Mark and I have been friends for a long time. Throughout our time in school together, and even now in our professional careers, his character has always embodied authenticity, passion, and generosity. No questions asked, he'll be there to help if someone needs it. In more recent years, I've experienced Mark transform into a more self-aware individual. He sincerely values happiness and fulfillment and wants to spread that mindset to everyone he meets. Mark has helped me, and many others, start to realize what is truly important in life.
