Let our team handle the technology while you focus on creating.

Cathy is a chemistry professor turned robotics coach turned the smartest, quickest, most helpful developer ever and someone who knows the OSS Ghost CMS inside out, even contributing goodness upstream. I've plagued Cathy with some total bullshit requests on our site and she's fixed things, tweaked things in real-time and generally just been a font of multiplatform developing goodness. Want videos playing where hero images go? It's not there natively but she can do it. Things moving around and animations and whatever? Done. Don't hold her responsible for how our site looks; that's me and I'm still thinking through some clunky/fugly bits, but she's a godsend. I love working with Cathy. She's just f******g cool and telepathically smart. (You know when you have to explain something to someone 10 times and they still don't get it? She's the opposite. You've barely said it and it's understood/done.)

If You Value Time & Expertise, Cathy Sarisky is Your Go-To Problem-Solver! ⚡

For three months, I struggled with a stubborn Ghost CMS third-party theme issue. I’d tried multiple solutions, wasted hours Googling, and even consulted others—but nothing worked.

Within 30 minutes, she:
🔹 Diagnosed the root cause of the problem,
🔹 Fixed the code in the theme’s documents,
🔹 Delivered a flawless, long-term solution.

If you’re running a newsletter, blog, or any web project, do yourself a favor: Hire Cathy before you waste another hour on headaches. She’s the consultant you’ll wish you’d found sooner.

I had the pleasure of working with Cathy Sarisky on a particularly challenging project involving our Ghost Installation. Cathy expertly managed numerous moving parts, coordinated seamlessly across multiple teams, and consistently delivered outstanding results. Her professionalism and responsiveness made the complex process not only manageable but enjoyable. Cathy is truly a joy to collaborate with—I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated professional who can confidently tackle even the toughest projects. She also handled subsequent updates several weeks later with her usual professionalism, ensuring we fully understood every aspect of the complex process.

Cathy's expertise in all things Ghost is unparalleled. Her straightforward advice and guidance are not only freely given but incredibly valuable. So valuable, in fact, that I willingly invested in her services to streamline my backend operations.

Cathy operates with a refreshing blend of professionalism, service orientation, and unwavering honesty. Her approach is direct, her service impeccable, and her depth of knowledge and talent undeniable.

I wholeheartedly recommend Cathy to anyone seeking to maximise their Ghost experience. With her at the helm, you're not just getting assistance; you're getting a partner committed to your success.

I run a Ghost website covering state politics. As such, even with my background in IT, I just don’t have time to figure out a coding problem; I’m too busy writing and editing. 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.

“I used Spectral Web Services to modify my Ghost home page (adding text that would resize automatically). Cathy was very responsive and did a great job; two attributes that are rare. I would recommend them for Ghost and web help.”

--Neil Potter, https://www.improvingyoursmallbusiness.com/

Cathy is excellent to work with! She was quick, concise, and responsive. Her changes worked the first time and she intuitively pointed out things that I overlooked. She'll be my first choice on future work.

Spectral Web Services has been an absolute gift for our Ghost publication DCW.

With many of our readers being institutional subscribers at high-security organizations, magic aren’t a good option for us, despite loving a lot about Ghost. Enter Cathy and her innovative approach to making password login possible via Ghost. This was a legitimate game changer! It’s hard to overstate the difference it has made. Now our subscribers are actually, you know, getting into the site. What’s more, Cathy has been very responsive when issues arose, and always quick to fix issues that came up due to (sometimes unannounced) ghost updates.

There’s a small ecosystem of interesting, talented people working in the Ghost ecosystem making all sorts of things possible… Cathy is front and center. Plus, it’s a genuine pleasure to work with her!

You really are an extraordinary developer.

I used to write requirements specifications for big, complicated enterprise systems for the phone company. One of my colleagues once talked about a programmer who thought waiting for the specs was a waste of time. As my friend said, "he thinks he can just sit in a meadow somewhere with the end-user and write the code on the fly."

Working with you is surprisingly like that image—only better, because I'm in a comfortable chair and there are no bugs.
