I build and redesign websites using WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow, with a strong focus on clean design, responsive layouts, performance, and making the website easy to manage after launch.
I've worked on hundreds of websites over the years, from business websites and landing pages to eCommerce stores and custom website builds. I can work from an existing website, Figma design, or a simple idea and turn it into a polished, working website.
๐ฅ๏ธ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐
I have extensive experience with WordPress, including Elementor, Divi, and Avada. I work on complete website builds, redesigns, landing pages, WooCommerce stores, custom layouts, responsive fixes, integrations, speed optimization, and ongoing maintenance.
๐๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ณ๐ & ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ
I build and customize Shopify stores with a focus on both the visual experience and the customer journey. This includes custom theme work, product and collection pages, landing pages, third-party integrations, checkout improvements, and conversion-focused updates.
I also work with WooCommerce for businesses that need a more flexible WordPress-based eCommerce solution.
๐จ ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ณ๐น๐ผ๐
I build modern Webflow websites from Figma designs or existing concepts, including responsive layouts, CMS collections, interactions, animations, and custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript where needed.
โก Website Improvements & Maintenance
If you already have a website that needs work, I can help with:
โข Redesigning outdated pages
โข Fixing responsive and layout issues
โข Improving website speed
โข HTML/CSS adjustments
โข WordPress theme and plugin issues
โข Shopify theme customization
โข Webflow updates and CMS work
โข Landing page improvements
โข SEO and technical improvements
โข Ongoing website maintenance
I don't believe every project needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Sometimes a few well-planned improvements can make a much bigger difference. I'll look at what you already have, understand what you're trying to achieve, and recommend the most practical way forward.

Full-stack web developer building fast, conversion-focused websites on WordPress, Shopify, Replit, and Webflow. I help startups, agencies, and growing brands turn rough ideas into polished, revenue-ready products that clients can confidently manage themselves long after launch.
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ:
- WordPress: custom WordPress themes, plugin setup, and speed optimization. I run zero-downtime WordPress migrations and keep every WordPress dashboard clean, secure, and simple for your team to update. From brochure sites to membership portals, my WordPress builds are structured to last.
- Shopify: custom Shopify themes, app configuration, and checkout optimization. I migrate stores onto Shopify and scale a Shopify catalog from a single product to thousands of SKUs. Every Shopify store is tuned to convert and stays easy for non-technical owners to run.
- Replit: rapid prototypes, live collaborative builds, and lightweight apps shipped fast. I use Replit for client demos and pairing sessions, document every Replit project for a painless handoff, and lean on Replit when you need to validate an idea quickly. A Replit workspace is often the fastest path to a working proof of concept before a full WordPress or Shopify build.
- Webflow: pixel-perfect, fully responsive Webflow sites with smooth interactions. I build clean Webflow CMS collections, handle Webflow migrations, and dial in Webflow SEO so your site loads fast and ranks well.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฒ:
- Strategy first. I plan your content structure before writing code, so your WordPress or Webflow site stays maintainable for years, not months.
- Built to convert. Whether it's a Shopify storefront or a Webflow landing page, every build is focused on measurable results, not just looks.
- Fast validation. Need to test an idea before investing? A quick Replit prototype gets you something working in days, not weeks.
- No disappearing acts. I communicate clearly, hit deadlines, and stay available after launch, so you always know where your WordPress, Shopify, Replit, or Webflow project stands.
๐ ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐ธ๐ถ๐:
- WordPress: Elementor, Gutenberg, ACF, WooCommerce, custom blocks, security hardening
- Shopify: Liquid, sections, metafields, third-party apps, conversion tuning
- Replit: Node, Python, React, version-controlled and collaborative Replit builds
- Webflow: interactions, CMS collections, responsive structure, on-page SEO
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐:
- Clean, well-documented code and a website you fully control
- Honest timelines, steady communication, and support after launch
- A developer fluent across WordPress, Shopify, Replit, and Webflow, never locked into a single stack
- Builds that load fast, rank well, and are ready to grow with you
Whether you need a brand-new WordPress build, a Shopify store that actually sells, a quick Replit proof of concept, or a striking Webflow site, I deliver clean, well-documented work on time and on budget. Send me a message with your goals and I'll reply with a clear plan, an honest estimate, and the next steps to get started.

Most websites do not fail because they look bad. They fail because they were never built to convert. That's the problem I've been solving for businesses for over 8 years.
๐ Top Rated Freelancer | 100% Job Success Score | 5 Star Reviews
I help SaaS companies, B2B businesses, premium brands, wellness companies, and eCommerce businesses build modern websites using Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Framer, and React. I also design and develop custom web and mobile applications tailored to business goals and user needs.
Every solution I build is fast, mobile-first, SEO-friendly, and strategically designed using CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) principles to improve user experience, increase engagement, and generate qualified leads, customers, and long-term revenue.
Over the years, I've partnered with clients across the United States, Europe, and beyond to design premium websites for SaaS startups, luxury and lifestyle brands, B2B companies, wellness businesses, and growing eCommerce brands.
Every project is built around strategy, user experience, performance, and measurable business outcomes, not just aesthetics. My goal is to create websites that not only look exceptional but also build trust, improve conversions, and support long-term business growth.
Whether I'm designing for a luxury lifestyle brand, a fast-growing SaaS startup, or a B2B service business, every website starts with understanding your goals, audience, and conversion opportunities before a single design decision is made.
What I Can Help You Achieve:
โ Webflow Development, CMS, Animations & Figma to Webflow
โ WordPress, WooCommerce, Elementor & Custom Website Development
โ Shopify 2.0, Framer, React Development & eCommerce Optimization
โ UI/UX Design, Custom Website & Web/Mobile App Design, Website Redesigns & High-Converting Landing Pages.

Why Clients Choose to Work With Me:
โ I combine strategy, UI/UX, development, and CRO into one seamless process.
โ Every website is strategically planned around user journeys, content hierarchy, and conversion goals before design begins.
โ I build fast, scalable, and responsive websites that deliver exceptional experiences across every device.
โ I communicate proactively, meet deadlines consistently, and make the entire project experience smooth and stress-free.
โ I focus on long-term partnerships by delivering websites that create lasting business value, not just beautiful designs.
Your website should be your hardest-working salesperson, building trust, generating qualified leads, and driving business growth 24/7. If it's not doing that today, I'd love to help you change that.

๐ต Shopify losing 20%+ sales at checkout? WordPress slow and heavy? Webflow CMS messy with broken GSAP?
๐ข I build fast, conversion-focused Shopify stores, custom WordPress themes, and clean Webflow CMS sites with smooth GSAP built to convert!
๐ข Impact: 200% subscriber growth, 52% higher CVR, 4.9s load cut to 1.6s, qualified leads up 46%
๐ Results Delivered ๐ฝ
๐ SHOPIFY โ for stores leaking revenue at PDP and checkout
Most stores donโt have a traffic problem; they have a conversion architecture problem: bloated themes, slow mobile PDPs, and over-engineered checkouts. I rebuild for frictionless funnels and measurable lifts.
โAPL (Athletic Propulsion Labs) โ Rebuilt PDP + checkout on Shopify 2.0 with conversion-first sections, metafields, and streamlined UX. CVR up 52%, AOV up 18%, checkout abandonment down 27%.
โBRICโs โ Full Figma โ Shopify 2.0 migration with custom Liquid and performance budgets. Mobile load 4.9s โ 1.6s, 96+ PageSpeed, mobile revenue up 31%.
โJot โ Subscription UX wired into Recharge + Klaviyo lifecycle flows and post-purchase upsells. Recovered 12% abandoned carts, repeat purchase rate up 24%, churn down.
โDTC subscription store โ Optimized journey mapping, one-click upsells, and server-side tracking for accurate attribution. CVR up 41%, revenue up 27%, CAC down 37%.
โก WORDPRESS โ for sites that load slow, fail Core Web Vitals, and wonโt rank
โElementor/Divi + 10+ plugins = failed Lighthouse, poor INP/LCP, and ranking decay. I hand-code custom themes in clean PHP for speed that compounds.
โSilver Opus โ Fully custom Figma โ WordPress theme, zero page builders, semantic HTML + critical CSS. 100 Desktop / 95 Mobile PageSpeed, delivered in 4 days.
โDerek Daneault โ Core Web Vitals rescue + technical SEO (schema, internal linking, CWV fixes) with a performance-first build. 100% URLs passing, organic traffic up 63%, load time down 68%, lead generation up 39%, bounce rate down 22%.
โWooCommerce enterprise โ Custom checkout, product architecture, and backend workflows for scale. CVR up 34%, support tickets down, AOV up 15%.
๐จ WEBFLOW & FRAMER โ for high-converting, animation-rich sites that donโt tank LCP
Pixel-perfect designs that break on mobile, heavy animations killing paint, and CMS workflows that require a dev โ I fix all three with Client-First + performance budgets.
โBioniq โ Figma โ Webflow, Client-First architecture with GSAP interactions tuned for LCP/CLS. 1.4s load with motion, 95+ Lighthouse.
โMusemind โ Scalable CMS-driven build; marketing self-publishes without dev. Publishing time down 90%, dev dependency eliminated.
โRemotely Talents โ Landing page rebuilt on CRO heuristics (value prop, social proof, CTA hierarchy). Demo bookings up 57% on same ad spend.
โSaaS startup โ High-converting Webflow site with interactive motion and optimized funnels. Qualified leads up 46%, demo-to-call rate up 28%.
๐ฏ UI/UX DESIGN โ for products users abandon before activation
High churn usually means confusing onboarding, weak information architecture, and no design system. I map drop-offs, then rebuild flows around intent and cognition.
โGood Fitness โ Full UX + design system overhaul across onboarding, paywall, and core flows. Paid subscribers up 200%, onboarding completion up 47%, 4.8โ from 12,000+ ratings.
โAgileLoop AI โ UX research, IA, and end-to-end user-flow redesign. Drop-offs down 38%, task success rate up, support tickets down.
โBuck Mason โ Journey mapping, navigation hierarchy, and checkout UX audit + redesign. Purchase completion up 33%, return visitors up 19%.
โNelson Bay Beach House โ Booking flow simplified around user intent and friction points. Booking time down 41%,
โ๏ธ Letโs build something that performs, scales, and actually drives revenue, not just another pretty website or app. If youโre serious about growth, Iโm ready to execute. Message me and let's get started.
