Hire the Best Web Designers in Omaha, NE

I turn Figma designs into pixel-accurate custom Gutenberg blocks and FSE themes — no page builders, no bloat. If your team needs editor-friendly WordPress that designers and content editors actually enjoy using, that's what I build. As lead web developer at [Buildertrend / a SaaS platform serving X+ users], I rebuilt the marketing site from the ground up — [LCP from Xs to Ys, CWV from red to green] — and built the scalable block system now used across multiple properties. I bring the same rigor to freelance work. What I deliver that most WordPress developers can't: → Custom Gutenberg & React blocks — purpose-built components that give your content team real editing power without touching code. I extend core blocks or build entirely new ones tied to your design system, with block.json and theme.json done right. → Figma-to-block conversion — pixel-accurate translation from design file to production block, with editor controls (spacing, colors, variations) that match your brand tokens. No "almost matches the mockup." → Performance rebuilds — Query Monitor + Lighthouse audit, prioritized fix list, then implementation: object cache, autoloaded option cleanup, render-blocking asset removal, image pipeline. Sub-2s loads, green CWV, before/after metrics documented. → Production-grade theme architecture — block themes built with @wordpress/scripts, theme.json, and clean separation of design tokens, blocks, and templates. Code your team can maintain after I'm gone. 5-star Upwork rating across every project. 15+ years in WordPress, PHP, React, and the modern block toolchain. If you need more than a WordPress installer — someone who can engineer a solution — let's talk.

Most clients come to me after something isn’t working. Others come to me for sleek, interactive websites that perform at a high level and drive conversions. Their site is slow. Their SEO “should be better by now.” Their developer disappeared. Their traffic dropped after a redesign. Their WordPress site is fragile and no one wants to touch it. They need a sleek website that is interactive and they can update themselves. That’s where I come in. I’m a technical web developer and SEO specialist with 14+ years of experience fixing, optimizing, and rebuilding websites so they perform the way they’re supposed to — fast, stable, accessible, and search-friendly. I specialize in the intersection of development + SEO, which means I don’t just make sites look good. I make sure they: Load fast (Core Web Vitals, mobile performance) Rank correctly (technical SEO, indexing, structure) Convert users (UX, layout, clarity) Don’t break every time you update a plugin And when the “theme can’t do it,” I can. I build custom solutions with: Custom HTML/CSS/JS (and PHP when needed) Custom WordPress templates, shortcodes, and lightweight plugins Interactive SVGs and SVG-based UI components (maps, diagrams, infographics, animated or clickable elements) What I help clients with: WordPress & Elementor troubleshooting and optimization Technical SEO audits and fixes (GSC, GA4, Ahrefs) Core Web Vitals & performance improvements Site migrations & rebuilds (without tanking SEO) Drupal development and optimization Accessibility & structural cleanup Custom-coded enhancements (features, components, integrations) Ongoing site maintenance when you need someone reliable I’ve worked with universities, agencies, small businesses, and national brands, and I’m currently the Director of Web Strategy for a private university, where I lead large-scale web work: web modernization, SEO strategy, performance reporting, and governance. On Upwork, clients hire me when they want: Clear answers (no jargon fog) Work done correctly the first time Someone who actually understands SEO and development together A professional who communicates and follows through I don’t oversell, disappear, or duct-tape fixes. I diagnose, explain, and solve. If you’re dealing with a slow site, SEO issues, or you need custom code / SVG-based UI to bring a page to life, send me the URL and tell me what’s not working. I’ll tell you honestly what needs to happen.
