WordPress web development

I develop and launch custom WordPress themes. My themes are technically sound and built the WordPress way. They all use the latest development techniques for performance and flexibility and fully utilise the WordPress block editor, no page builders = less bloat = faster site. I’m an advocate of website best practices and create sites that are accessible and fast as well as beautiful. Take a look at some of my work.

Web design

My background is in design, and I craft websites with a strong focus on typography, accessibility, and intuitive usability. Before writing a single line of code, I provide full site designs to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the overall look, feel, and functionality. A well-structured site plays a crucial role in its success, so we’ll take the time to plan everything properly, ensuring the best possible experience for your users.

Website consultancy

Maybe you have an existing site that has stopped working since it was updated, or just one that needs some more general TLC and a spring clean. As a WordPress expert with over 15 years experience I can advise on how best to tackle the issues. There’s not much I haven’t had to solve before!

SEO and analytics

Over the years I’ve worked with many SEO agencies and along the way have learned a good deal about the process of good and bad SEO and Google’s best practices. I am able to advise on these. Any theme built by me will be fully set up to work with any of WordPress SEO plugins.
