Your website should sell while you sleep - not load slowly and lose the click. I am a WordPress and Shopify developer who turns Figma designs into fast, conversion-focused websites for US brands, with 5 years and 80+ sites behind the work. Here is what most business owners run into: a site that looks fine but converts under 2%, takes 4+ seconds to load, and breaks the moment someone opens it on a phone. That is lost revenue before a visitor ever reaches checkout. I fix that. WHAT I BUILD • Custom WordPress sites and custom WordPress theme development for service businesses • Shopify store setup and customization for DTC and ecommerce brands • WooCommerce stores built to scale without slowing down • Figma to WordPress and Figma to responsive website builds, pixel-perfect • High-converting landing page design and development for launches and campaigns HOW I BUILD IT I start with your goal, not a template. Every build pairs clean web design and development with page speed optimization, so your site passes Core Web Vitals and stays quick under real traffic. Elementor, when you want easy edits, hand-built when you want control - either way, you get a responsive website developer who codes for mobile first. SEO structure is baked in from the first wireframe, which is what an SEO-friendly website developer should do, not bolt on at the end. WHO BENEFITS Service businesses that need a credible, SEO-friendly site that books more calls. DTC founders who want a Shopify store setup and customization that actually converts. Agencies and designers who need a reliable Figma to WordPress handoff without the back-and-forth. If conversion-focused web design and ecommerce website design are what you are after, that is the center of my work. WHY CLIENTS STAY • Conversion-focused web design tied to a number, not a vibe - I report on it • Clear updates and quick replies, so you are never guessing where your project stands • On-time delivery with no surprise scope or hidden fees • Trusted by small businesses and funded startups across the US If you want a WordPress developer or Shopify developer who treats your site as a revenue tool - not a brochure - send a note with your goal and timeline, and you will get a straight, specific reply.

I’m an experienced WordPress developer and web designer specializing in custom web design and high-performance web development for businesses that value clarity, conversion, and scalability. I combine strong design judgement with solid technical execution to build websites that are visually engaging, fast, and reliable. My core strength is WordPress development and WordPress customization, where I work confidently with Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Oxygen Builder to create clean layouts, strong hierarchy, and intuitive user experiences. Whether using a visual builder or custom code, I focus on spacing, typography, and flow to ensure every page feels intentional and conversion-driven rather than templated. On the technical side, I work extensively with PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, allowing me to move beyond page builders when needed. I handle theme and plugin customization, API integrations, bug fixes, and performance improvements with care, especially on live sites. This full-stack approach ensures stability, flexibility, and long-term maintainability. I also have hands-on experience with WooCommerce, building and optimizing e-commerce websites with a strong emphasis on usability, speed, and conversions. From product page structure to checkout flow and third-party integrations, I approach WooCommerce with both design and performance in mind. Across all projects, I prioritize website optimization, clean code, and scalable design systems. I’m comfortable working independently, making informed design and development decisions, and collaborating with teams when required. The goal is always the same: deliver WordPress websites that look polished, perform well, and support real business outcomes. If you’re looking for a professional who understands WordPress, web design, web development, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Oxygen Builder, PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and WooCommerce at a practical, production level, I bring that balance to every project.

The problem is rarely the traffic. It's the design, the structure, and how the site makes people feel the moment they land on it. I'm an 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 and 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 who builds and redesigns high-converting websites across 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗳𝘆, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀/𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲, 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄, 𝗪𝗶𝘅, and 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. Every site I build is designed to look premium, load fast, and turn clicks into real business revenue. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼: - 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Full ecommerce store builds on Shopify, WooCommerce, and Webflow. Product pages, collections, checkout optimization, payment integrations, and a conversion-focused structure built to sell from day one. - 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 & 𝗨𝗜/𝗨𝗫: Every project starts with a Figma web design mockup so the layout, user flow, and visual hierarchy are finalized before a single line of code is written. What you approve in design is exactly what gets built. - 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Custom WordPress website design and development, Elementor builds, WooCommerce setup, theme customization, plugin configuration, speed optimization, SEO, and WordPress migrations handled end-to-end. - 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Shopify store setup, Liquid customization, Shopify theme development, app integrations, Shopify SEO, conversion rate optimization, and Shopify Plus builds for brands that are ready to scale. - 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Webflow website design and development, Figma to Webflow builds, Webflow ecommerce stores, and CMS-powered sites with pixel-perfect responsive design throughout. - 𝗪𝗶𝘅 & 𝗦𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲: Full Wix website design and development and Squarespace website design and development including custom builds, redesigns, and ecommerce setup on both platforms. - 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 & 𝗖𝗥𝗢: If your site exists but isn't converting, I audit it, find exactly what's blocking results, and fix it. Faster load times, stronger mobile UX, and a layout that actually moves people to take action. - 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗲𝗯 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: For businesses that need something beyond a template, I build custom web solutions using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, PHP, and API integrations. 𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: I start by understanding your business and goals, design everything in Figma for your approval, then build it clean, fast, and mobile-ready. You get a site that's easy to manage and built to perform from day one. If your website isn't performing the way it should, send me your project details. I'll look at it, tell you exactly what's wrong, and show you the fastest way to fix it.
