Sometimes looking for a "bargain developer" will cost you more in the long run in time, money, and frustration. You want to hire someone who: • understands and knows the builder you use • adheres to your style guide and brand colors • doesn't hardcore your changes/updates into your WordPress PHP template • is responsive and doesn't disappear for days on end • gives suggestions to improve your website • you can trust I have over 20+ years of WordPress experience. I offer fast turn-around times and unsurpassed quality. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. Period. I'm skilled in Elementor, Bricks, Avada, and other WordPress page builders. --- What My Clients Say --- “In an era where we believe experts must be narrow specialists, especially in technology disciplines, Kevin breaks the mold. He is a renaissance man, whose intelligence and skills span many domains — from communications to information architecture, from web design to marketing automation, from image management to editorial word-crafting. Kevin understands and practices digital communications with great effect. Most web-dev firms try to cobble together five-person teams to cover adequately what Kevin himself does as a solo practitioner. I would recommend highly to anyone who is seeking more than an implementation of a WordPress template. His decades in the publishing industry prepared him to practice digital publishing skills better than many younger but talented technologists whose experience was built solely in the digital era. One more thing... Kevin is a disciplined craftsman. He delivered for me on-time, on-budget. And he knows how to scope a project properly.” — Steve Rees, CEO Educator—Schoolwise Press “Simply Amazing. He is fast and effective. He communicates early and often, and makes everything easy to understand. He even helps you think through how his work furthers your business objectives. When this project finished, I immediately started another one with him. Work with Kevin if you want to get things done, smile more, and grow your business.” — Dawan Stanford, President – Fluid Hive, A Design-Driven Innovation Company
