Websites don't just need to look good they need to rank, convert, and perform. I build and optimize websites across WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, HubSpot CMS, Wix, and Squarespace. Most of my work falls into one of two areas: custom development from a design or brief, and fixing sites that are slow, poorly indexed, or bleeding organic traffic. On the development side, I work with Elementor, ACF, and custom blocks in WordPress; Liquid templating and theme builds in Shopify; Figma-to-Webflow with CMS collections and interactions; and HubSpot landing pages paired with workflow and CRM setup. I also handle Wix and Squarespace when the project calls for it. On the technical SEO side, I run full audits crawl and indexing issues, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, TTFB), schema markup, sitemap structure, and metadata. I fix things, not just flag them. Page speed work is usually JS/CSS optimization, image delivery, render-blocking resources, and server response time. I also set up GoHighLevel funnels and CRM pipelines, HubSpot marketing automation, and Zapier workflows when clients need their tools to actually connect. Separately, I apply keyword mapping and content clustering to help sites build topical authority without guessing. What I work on WordPress — custom themes, Elementor, ACF, WooCommerce, plugin integrations Shopify — Liquid theme builds, app integrations, conversion optimization Webflow — Figma-to-Webflow, CMS collections, animations, responsive builds HubSpot CMS — landing pages, workflows, CRM setup, reporting Wix & Squarespace — SEO-ready builds, custom design tweaks, performance fixes Technical SEO — Core Web Vitals, crawl fixes, schema, sitemap, on-page Page Speed — LCP/CLS/TTFB audits, JS/CSS minification, image optimization GoHighLevel — CRM setup, funnels, pipeline automation, white-label environments Figma to Code — pixel-perfect, responsive implementation across any CMS Site migrations, staging environments, backups, and ongoing maintenance I keep up with how agencies work the tools, the workflows, the AI-assisted processes and apply that directly on client projects. If you're ready to build something that actually grows your business let's talk.

Hi, I’m Steve, a Top-Rated WordPress Developer, SEO Expert, and SEO Content Writer with 20+ years of experience helping businesses increase traffic, improve rankings, and boost conversions. If you’re looking for someone who understands SEO strategy, WordPress development, and high-converting content writing all in one, you’re in the right place. I don’t just build websites. I build Search Engine Optimized WordPress websites that rank on Google, attract qualified traffic, and convert visitors into paying customers. Here’s what I can do for you: ✅Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Complete, data-driven SEO solutions designed to increase rankings, organic traffic, and revenue. From On-Page SEO, Technical SEO, and Off-Page Link Building to Local SEO, E-Commerce SEO (Shopify & WooCommerce), Etsy SEO, SEO Audits, and Competitor Analysis, I optimize every layer of your website using advanced tools like Ahrefs and Google Search Console to deliver measurable growth. ✅WordPress Development High-performance, SEO-friendly WordPress websites built for speed, scalability, and conversions. I specialize in Custom WordPress Development, Elementor & Divi builds, WooCommerce stores, PSD/Figma to WordPress conversion, Website Migration, Redesign, Speed Optimization, and Core Web Vitals improvements, ensuring your website is fast, secure, and conversion-ready. ✅SEO Content Writing & Copywriting Strategic, keyword-optimized content that ranks on Google and converts visitors into customers.

If your WordPress site has already been "optimized" and the numbers still don't move — that's the work I do. 25+ years in web infrastructure. 12 years focused exclusively on WordPress. I specialize in the performance problems that persist after everyone else has "fixed it": LCP that won't drop below 4 seconds, TTFB creeping back up after a caching plugin, INP failures on Elementor-heavy pages, CLS triggered by late-loading assets nobody thought to audit. I work at the server level — SSH, MySQL, Apache, and PHP configuration — because that's where these problems actually live. I work in Elementor Pro daily. Most CWV problems on Elementor sites aren't WordPress problems — they're builder-level problems. Bloated DOM output, render-blocking widget scripts, unoptimized dynamic CSS. I fix them at the source, not by bolting on another optimization plugin. WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed: LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, TBT — full CrUX and lab score analysis Server-level optimization via SSH (Apache or NGINX) MySQL query profiling and database optimization PHP configuration, memory limits, and error resolution Server-side caching (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare CDN Render-blocking resource elimination at the code level Elementor-specific DOM and script optimization Real user metrics, not just lab scores Technical SEO: Hand-coded JSON-LD schema — not plugin-generated .htaccess for redirects and canonicalization robots.txt and llms.txt for traditional and AI crawler control Crawl error diagnosis via server log analysis RankMath Pro configuration and optimization WordPress Infrastructure: Migrations between hosts with zero downtime Staging environment setup and backup protocols Security hardening at the server and file permission level cPanel, WHM, and Kinsta environment management Ongoing maintenance with monthly reporting CLIENT RESULTS Corporate services site (2025): 47 hand-coded JSON-LD schemas — Service, Person, FAQ, AggregateRating with page-level targeting. Site health 88% to 99%. PageSpeed desktop +32 points. Delivered 5 days early, zero validation errors. Local business (2024): SEMrush visibility +25.6% in four months. 14 new top-3 keyword rankings. 92% site health score. E-commerce (2024): Domain authority 0 to 36 in under a year. Google Ads CPC dropped from $163 to $0.30 — 99.8% reduction in ad spend through organic visibility gains. Nonprofit (2020-2025): Inherited site with zero DA. Audit found database timeouts, 300+ broken redirects, unparseable schema — none addressed by the previous agency. Fixed all three. Result: 400%+ organic traffic increase, DA 0 to 25. WHO I WORK BEST WITH You're a good fit if: - Your site has CWV failures or PageSpeed scores that survived a previous optimization attempt - You've hired someone for this before and got a report instead of results - Your site runs Elementor, and performance is degrading as the content grows - You need server access, not just dashboard access - Your budget is $1,000- $5,000 for project work. WordPress only. Not the right fit for Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or basic plugin updates. TOOLS Performance: GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, CrUX, SEMrush, Search Console WordPress: Elementor Pro, Perfmatters, EWWW Image Optimizer, RankMath Pro Server: SSH, cPanel, WHM, phpMyAdmin, MySQL, Apache, NGINX Hosting: Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, A2, Liquid Web, Cloudflare Minneapolis-based (CST). All work through Upwork.
