Your website should bring in leads and customers, not just sit there looking nice. I build and optimize high-performing sites for Fortune 500 brands (Procter & Gamble, GE, McDonald’s, Samsung) and growing businesses — built to convert from day one. ◆ 100% Job Success ◆ Expert-Vetted (top 1% on Upwork) ◆ 15+ years ◆ Fortune 500 & global enterprise clients WHAT I DO FOR CLIENTS: • Build fast, modern WordPress & Elementor sites built to convert, without agency bloat • Turn existing sites into lead machines with CRO, SEO, and conversion tracking • Connect your site to your CRM and automate the busywork so no lead slips through • Own the strategy above the build — I think like a marketing leader, not just a developer RESULTS I’VE DELIVERED: • Generated $5M+ in annual revenue for a national financial services provider through WordPress CRO • Boosted a B2B SaaS firm’s lead conversion by 32%, supporting 8-figure annual revenue • Cut Elementor page load time from 6s to 1.4s, increasing site traffic by 125% • Built and automated a WooCommerce store generating $275K/mo for a specialty retail client You may already have a decent-looking site, but it is not generating enough leads, sales, or measurable results. Or you may be tired of managing your website, plugins, tracking, forms, automations, and SEO in separate silos. I help pull those pieces together into one website and marketing engine that is built to perform. My best-fit projects range from focused Elementor builds to larger WordPress, CRO, and automation engagements. Where I bring the most value: WEB BUILDS & WEBOPS I build fast, flexible websites that are clean, scalable, easy to manage, and built to convert. • WordPress & Elementor builds, rebuilds, landing pages, and page-builder work • WooCommerce, Shopify, Webflow, and Framer builds when the project calls for them • Responsive, mobile-optimized builds tuned for speed, Core Web Vitals, and clean UX • Plugin cleanup, malware recovery, technical fixes, and site rescue DESIGN, BRANDING & UX I turn rough ideas, brands, and layouts into polished pages that feel clear, credible, and on-brand. • Figma design and prototyping, including AI-assisted concepts with Figma Make • Adobe production work for web graphics, assets, and brand execution • Conversion-focused design grounded in CRO, UI/UX, and user behavior • On-brand layouts that keep messaging, visuals, and calls to action consistent FULL-STACK TECHNICAL DEPTH I can go beyond the page builder when a project needs custom code, hosting fixes, or deeper technical work. • Custom solutions in PHP, JavaScript & CSS • Command line, AWS, VPS, server administration, and deployment workflows • Enterprise & managed WordPress hosting, including WP VIP and WP Engine • MySQL databases, Git, version control, and custom API integrations • CMS support and migrations involving Drupal, Joomla, Craft CMS, and legacy/custom platforms AI & CRM AUTOMATION I connect your website to CRMs, forms, chatbots, and automations so every lead is captured and routed. • Website & customer-support AI chatbots • Optimized lead-capture forms with Gravity Forms, WP Forms, and Typeform feeding straight into your CRM • Lead routing, CRM workflows, and integrations via Airtable, Zapier, and Make • CRM & marketing platforms: HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign SEARCH & VISIBILITY I help websites get found through technical SEO, local search, tracking tools, and emerging AI search visibility. • Technical SEO grounded in mechanics, not guesswork • Local SEO: Google Business Profile, citations, multi-location, reviews, and rank tracking • Tools: Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, Local Falcon, BrightLocal • AI search / answer-engine visibility — the emerging side of getting found MEASUREMENT & TESTING I set up tracking, dashboards, and tests so you can see what is working and improve with real data. • GA4, Google Tag Manager, conversion tracking, call tracking, and attribution • Looker Studio dashboards so you can see what’s working • A/B testing to improve, not guess • Tracking audits that often find money you’re already leaving on the table MARKETING STRATEGY & GROWTH I help align your site, SEO, automation, and paid channels into one focused growth engine that drives leads. • Fractional CMO / growth marketer — set strategy, align channels, own the numbers • Hands-on Google Ads & Meta Ads experience; can run paid directly or direct a specialist • One marketing engine where site, SEO, automation, and spend pull the same direction For clients who want ongoing support, I offer managed care plans for hosting, maintenance, updates, monitoring, optimization, and priority help after launch. Let’s talk. The fastest way to know if I’m the right fit is a quick call. Send me a message with what you’re working on, and I’ll let you know whether I can help, what I’d recommend, and how I’d approach it.
