From static sites to CI/CD pipelines, I cover the full lifecycle: development, deployment, and ongoing support. What I bring to the table: I specialize in JAMstack and static site generators (Hugo, Next.js), but I also handle the infrastructure side - setting up automated deployments, configuring cloud hosting, managing DNS, SSL, and keeping your site fast and reliable without unnecessary overhead.

Welcome to my profile! I always aim to provide not just support, but real value. I take the time to understand what a client needs, suggest improvements whenever possible, and remain committed to delivering consistent results. Top rated plus freelancer with an eye for proper protocol. Programmer emphasizing efficiency. Web Developer with attention to detail. Are you merely content with a pretty-looking website, or are you in search of a digital asset that can actively grow your business? Hi, I'm Loieto, but you can call me Louie. I'm a web developer, designer, and programmer with a passion for creating online experiences that go beyond the ordinary. I don't just build websites; I engineer platforms optimized for converting casual browsers into loyal customers. Utilizing proven strategies in UI/UX design and targeted call-to-actions, I deliver solutions that not only look good but also perform. Let's turn your website into your best salesperson. Starting out online with just a few ideas? No problem! I’m here to guide you. I’ll help turn your ideas into a clear plan, suggesting the best tools and asking questions to help you think more deeply about what you want. If you’re unsure about the look and feel of your site, we can look at other sites you like for inspiration. I have special questionnaires to understand exactly what you need, making the start of building your website smooth and stress-free. I also use a special checklist to make sure every important part of your site is perfect. For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to designing top-tier websites that marry visual allure with unparalleled functionality. My approach hinges on truly understanding your business's core and ensuring the website resonates deeply with your objectives and audience. From responsive designs to cross-browser compatibility, every site I craft stands as a testament to precision and innovation. As you review my profile, you might notice a number of jobs listed as "in progress." Most of these, however, are not actively ongoing. I'm mindful about not closing these contracts myself due to the potential impact on my Job Success Score (JSS). It is often advised that having clients conclude contracts is preferable, as it encourages them to leave feedback, which is crucial for a freelancer's reputation on Upwork. Though I have successfully completed many projects and received payment, some clients have not taken the step to formally end the contracts or leave feedback. I have made polite and periodic attempts to contact them for closure and reviews, often without receiving a response. There are also instances where clients have ceased communication, possibly moving away from Upwork. Despite these challenges, I am fully committed to delivering quality work on every project I undertake. Please be assured, these open contracts do not reflect my dedication to my work or my ability to deliver high-quality outcomes. I am proactive in communication, strive for excellence, and only accept projects I am confident I can successfully complete. I am well-versed in different popular content management systems and website builders, including: ● WordPress ● WebFlow  ● Shopify  ● ClickFunnels  ● Moodle ● Kajabi  ● Kartra  ● Hubspot I have experience with a wide variety of WordPress themes. These are my favorite page builder themes and plugins: ● Divi ● Elementor ● Oxygen ● Beaver ● Enfold My primary areas of expertise include: ● PSD/Figma to WordPress using a template ● WordPress website design from scratch ● Existing website retouching and customization ● Interpret website and product mockups and wireframes ● WordPress + Woocommerce setup ● Shopify development ● Git and Github ● ClickFunnels/Kartra landing page design ● Malware and exploits clean-up ● Backup restoration ● Website migration from one hosting provider to another ● Website speed optimization and adhering Google standards ● Locking down and hardening Wordpress website ● Full website administration ● Custom Google Maps integration (API) ● Video Creation ● Full technical site audit ● SEO keyword report I have a strong mastery of written and oral communication skills and excellent interpersonal skills to create marketing materials that convey value and satisfaction to my clients. Think I would be perfect for your project? Let's talk!
