I turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect WordPress websites, fast and clean. With my own AI workflows, I build in half the time most developers take, and the quality bar never drops.
What I do best:
- Figma design to WordPress, built in Elementor or Bricks
- Pixel-perfect, fully responsive builds, tested on every screen size
- AI-generated prototypes (Lovable and similar) rebuilt as clean WordPress
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), custom post types, and dynamic templates
- Performance tuning for top Core Web Vitals (FlyingPress, Perfmatters, LiteSpeed)
Why I'm faster:
I have built my own AI workflows for WordPress. They take care of the repetitive work, so my time goes straight into what matters: getting your build accurate, fast, and clean. Every build still passes my own QA before it ships, so the speed never costs you quality.
How I work:
- Clean, modular builds your team can update without breaking anything
- I treat estimates as commitments, not starting points
- Proactive updates, so you always know exactly where your project stands
- Flexible hours and same-day replies, so I am never the bottleneck across your time zone
Here is what working with me looks like: you hand over your design, and you get back a clean, pixel-perfect WordPress site, fast, with nothing breaking and no chasing needed. Send me a note about your project and I will walk you through exactly how I would build it.

Top-rated Plus WordPress, WooCommerce, and Brilliant Directories developer with 15+ years of experience fixing, improving, and maintaining real business websites.
I help founders, agencies, and businesses with the messy website work that needs an experienced developer: broken checkouts, plugin conflicts, slow WordPress sites, WooCommerce issues, Brilliant Directories customisation, migrations, imports, API integrations, hosting problems, and technical SEO fixes.
Most of my work falls into these areas:
• WordPress development, troubleshooting, and maintenance
• WooCommerce checkout, shipping, payment, invoice, and plugin issues
• Brilliant Directories setup, customisation, member plans, claim listings, and CSV imports
• Website migrations, hosting moves, DNS, SSL, Cloudflare, and server configuration
• Speed optimisation, Core Web Vitals improvements, and technical SEO cleanup
• Custom PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and WordPress plugin/theme fixes
• API integrations, webhook debugging, and workflow automation
• Shopify, BigCommerce, and Klaviyo support where websites, e-commerce, and data need to connect properly
Clients usually come to me when something important is broken, unclear, or underperforming.
That might be a WooCommerce checkout that is losing sales, a WordPress site that became unstable after updates, a directory website that needs better structure, a failed migration, a plugin conflict, a slow site, or a technical issue their previous developer could not finish.
I am especially useful when the job is not just “write code”, but understanding the whole system: the website, plugins, hosting, database, third-party services, business workflow, and the risk of downtime.
I do not believe every problem needs a rebuild. Often, the right solution is to diagnose carefully, fix the root cause, document what changed, and leave the site easier to maintain than before.
Platforms and tools I work with regularly:
• WordPress, WooCommerce, Brilliant Directories
• PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, MySQL
• Elementor, Divi, Avada, and custom themes
• Shopify, BigCommerce, Klaviyo, and ecommerce integrations
• Cloudflare, cPanel, WHM, DNS, SSL, and hosting environments
• AWS, Docker, API/webhook integrations, and automation workflows
• React, Next.js, FastAPI, and Python when custom development is needed
If you need an experienced developer to fix, improve, or maintain a WordPress, WooCommerce, or Brilliant Directories site, send me the issue, your website URL, and any relevant screenshots or error messages. I will help you identify the safest next step.
