I help businesses fix, improve, redesign, and maintain WordPress websites — especially sites built with Elementor, WooCommerce, Astra, Divi, Avada, and custom themes. Most clients hire me when they need someone who can jump into an existing site, diagnose the real issue, clean up the build, and get the site working properly without unnecessary complexity. I can help with: ✅ Elementor page edits, redesigns, and layout fixes ✅ Responsive/mobile cleanup ✅ WordPress troubleshooting and plugin conflicts ✅ WooCommerce product pages, checkout issues, and store updates ✅ Website speed optimization, caching, and performance cleanup ✅ Staging-to-live launches and migration support ✅ Ongoing WordPress maintenance and small updates My approach is practical: confirm the scope, check the site carefully before making changes, fix the issue cleanly, test across devices, and explain what changed. My Upwork history includes both quick WordPress fixes and long-term website support, so I’m comfortable handling one-off issues or staying involved as your site evolves. I’m a good fit if your site is broken, outdated, hard to edit, unfinished, or needs a reliable WordPress developer who can take ownership and get things moving again.

I combine full stack web development, AI/LLM expertise (backed by USAII certification), and proven digital marketing into a single, streamlined service. Whether you need a cutting-edge AI-powered platform, an SEO-optimized site that ranks, or a custom web app built to scale, I have the tools, credentials, and experience to deliver. I go above and beyond for every client—ensuring clear communication, fast delivery, and solutions that move the needle for your business. Let's build something powerful together.

I am a web designer and front-end developer living in Portland, Oregon, with near 20 years’ experience helping clients develop their online brand. I’ve been told I play well with others and enjoy collaborating on web projects with teams of all sizes. Web accessibility remediation and UI/UX design are specialties of mine. My passion for creating an inclusive user experience comes from my years working in social services. I’m intimately familiar with a variety of CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Big Commerce, Shopify, et al.) and peripherally familiar with more. I love to work outside of any framework or dependencies when the opportunity arises. I've included a few samples of my work below.

I keep WordPress running when the site actually matters to the business. I run the infrastructure behind 200+ production WordPress sites as CTO of a New York digital agency. Uptime, security, performance, deploys, and the on-call pager. Sixteen years in WordPress, and on Upwork since 2014. I hold 20 to 30 hours a week for client work here, and I have run it that way for a decade. If I can't give your project what it needs, I will say so in the first message rather than take it anyway. Most WordPress problems aren't WordPress problems. They're hosting, database, caching, plugin-conflict, or process problems wearing a WordPress costume. Running a fleet of 200 sites teaches you to tell which one you're looking at, usually inside the first hour. What I get hired for: PERFORMANCE Slow WooCommerce stores, failing Core Web Vitals, sites that fall over under traffic. Query and database tuning, caching architecture, hosting-layer fixes. Not a plugin and a hope. SECURITY AND RECOVERY Malware removal, hardening, post-breach cleanup, getting sites off Google's blocklist. I've done the 2am version of this more times than I'd like. MIGRATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE Host moves, staging and deploy pipelines, PHP and core upgrades on sites nobody has touched in years, multisite, DNS and SSL. FLEET OPERATIONS FOR AGENCIES If you're maintaining 20+ client sites on spreadsheets and hope, this is what I do professionally every day. Monitoring, update strategy, standardization, and the automation that makes it cheap. I built the internal AI systems our team uses to run that fleet, which is where AI actually earns its keep in this work. RETAINER MAINTENANCE Ongoing care for sites that make money and can't be down. A note on how I work. I don't hand back a PDF of recommendations. I find the actual cause, tell you in plain terms what it takes to fix, then fix it. I take a small number of clients at a time, which is how those hours stay real. If your site is slow, broken, compromised, or just held together with more tape than you're comfortable with, send me the URL and what's happening.
