00Intro

  Available for freelance

I build WordPress systems, not just websites.

I take a business problem from requirements to a WordPress system that runs it — architecture, custom plugins, integrations, performance and security, and the upkeep after launch. Eight years of client work, with Laravel and Vue when a CMS is the wrong tool.

Sorbet Magazine

An international fashion and culture magazine, built in WordPress with Elementor and WooCommerce — an editorial site with articles, photoshoots and video, plus a store that sells subscriptions, print and digital issues, and back issues.

Arvale

A fashion and homeware store I designed and built end to end — Elementor Pro for every layout, WooCommerce for the shop, and a custom plugin that adds the features premium store themes sell, on top of WooCommerce rather than around it.

Shopfront POS

The words "Shopfront POS" set on pale slate, beside four shelf columns standing in for stock levels, the third nearly empty and lit in indigo

A till and inventory application in Laravel — and an audit of my own code, which turned out to be selling stock it did not have and letting the browser decide what things cost.

02Services

Plan & architect

  • Business requirements turned into a written scope before any code — fixed price, no surprises
  • Content models, custom post types and user roles designed around how the business actually works
  • An honest platform call: WordPress where it fits, Laravel and Vue where it doesn't
  • Audits of inherited sites — what's there, what's risky, and what to fix first

Build

  • Custom plugins, from small fixes to React applications inside wp-admin
  • Custom themes with a content model the client's own team can edit
  • Elementor Pro builds for teams who run the site themselves
  • WooCommerce, LMS and membership platforms

Integrate & automate

  • REST API endpoints and third-party services connected to WordPress, not bolted on
  • Forms that store, route and email submissions without anyone copying data by hand
  • Contact Form 7, ACF and WooCommerce extended through hooks, never by editing the plugin
  • Data migrations done in code — thousands of records moved with $wpdb, not by hand

Secure & maintain

  • Page-speed work: caching, query clean-up and lighter assets
  • Security done properly: sanitised input, escaped output, nonces and capability checks
  • Broken, slow or inherited sites made maintainable again
  • Ongoing maintenance — updates, plugin conflicts and fixes against production

03Experience

2021 — 2026

White-label WordPress partner

US digital agency

  • Around 45 production WordPress sites for clients in construction, industrial manufacturing, hospitality, education and e-commerce — the volume where a set of preferences turns into a method.
  • Custom themes with modelled content, page builders where the client's own team maintains the site, WooCommerce and LMS builds, all to the agency's design files and review process on US hours.
  • Maintenance, debugging, performance and security work on live sites — much of it directly against production, where a mistake is a client's outage.
2018 — Present

Freelance WordPress developer

Remote, via Fiverr

  • 223 orders delivered at 100% on-time for clients in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
  • Design-to-code conversion from June 2018; WordPress builds and rescue work since late 2020.
  • Fixed price throughout, which is where the scoping discipline came from.

The same question opens every project, and it is never the technical one: who maintains this after I leave? It decides page builder or custom theme, and it decides what belongs in a plugin's settings page and what belongs in its hooks.

06Beyond the build

A Contact Form 7 shortcode escaping bug

Form tags being escaped into visible text on save. Found and patched on a live site without touching the plugin's own files — and it is the bug Defer Forms for Contact Form 7 grew out of.

This became a product →

ACF repeater migration with $wpdb

A field group redesigned after the content already existed. Thousands of repeater sub-rows moved onto the new structure with direct database queries rather than by hand.

Selects that arrive after the page loads

Forms added by AJAX, popups and a form plugin's own conditional logic appear after DOMContentLoaded. Watching the DOM instead of the load event is what makes a restyled select work on exactly the forms most likely to need it.

This became a product →

Compiling a visual form down to CF7 tags

A drag-and-drop form has to become tag syntax Contact Form 7 parses into precisely the form that was drawn. Where the two cannot be reconciled, the builder refuses rather than producing something close.
