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I’m a good fit if your site is broken, outdated, hard to edit, unfinished, or needs a reliable WordPress developer who can take ownership and get things moving again.

Hello!
My name is Morgan, and I've been building websites professionally since 2012. I specialize in front end development - simply put, I take design mock ups and turn them into fully-functioning websites. However, my skills span all areas of the website creation process, from design to development to marketing, promotion, and SEO. This wide range of knowledge gives me a keen insight into how to build websites around my clients' specific needs.
Choices made during the design and development phases will ultimately affect promotion and SEO, and a mistake made early on can be incredibly costly down the line.
It's all too common to have a designer build you a website that looks good, but is slow, bloated, and buggy. Designers are great at making sites look good, but they're not always the best at translating their designs into code.
So then you need a web developer go back through the site, fix the code, and speed everything up. Ouch, you didn't expect that extra cost, but at least the work is done and the site is ready to go, right?
Wrong. Your site has been live for six months and the phone hasn't rung once. Google isn't sending any traffic to your pages, and when you try to post links on Facebook and Twitter, your image previews show up cropped and the right text isn't showing up in the captions. No one is "liking" or "following" your pages, and you're scared you just dropped a whole bunch of money for nothing!
In comes the digital marketer to tell you that you're going to need to rewrite half of your content and completely restructure your site structure if you want to compete on Google. You're also going to have to recode a bunch of site files to make sure you're using the structured data markup that Google, Facebook, and other sites need to understand your site content. And it's going to be costly...
So you've just paid to build the same website three times and launched it six months late. Ouch. Hiring a web agency with a full team of specialists could have avoided this situation, but at those rates you probably would have spent roughly the same amount. What's the solution?
I'm the solution. I'm a designer who plans like a coder and thinks like a marketer. When I show you a mockup for a webpage, I know exactly how I'm going to build it, and exactly how it fits into your overall marketing strategy. I know the keywords it's going to rank for in Google, and I know how many searches per month those keywords get. I know what your competitors are doing right, what they're doing wrong, and I already have a plan to beat them.
I provide all the benefits of a full web agency at the price of a freelancer.
So if you're tired of building the same site three times, or sick of dealing with a different person every time you call your web agency (while running up a fortune with their billing department), please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I'm always happy to rescue a new client from the nightmares of the web development process and provide them with the expertise and timely communication they deserve.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Morgan :)
