I help B2B, DTC, and agency clients turn WordPress and Shopify sites into platforms that actually convert. Fast, editable, and built to hold up as the business scales.
83 projects. 641 hours. Top Rated since 2022. Working with founders, marketing teams, and white-label partners across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
Most of what I get invited for falls into three shapes:
š ļø WordPress builds and rebuilds
Elementor Pro, Bricks Builder, ACF, custom PHP. From Figma to launch, or from strategy if you don't have designs yet. Clean CMS so your team can edit without breaking anything.
š Shopify development and CRO
Custom Liquid themes, section builders, PDP and checkout customization, third-party app integrations. If your store's leaking conversions, I find where, quantify it, and rebuild the pages that matter.
ā” Migrations, speed, and dev cleanup
Wix or Squarespace to WordPress. WooCommerce to Shopify. Sites where a previous developer walked away mid-build. PageSpeed stuck in the 30s. Broken checkouts. A lot of my invite work sits here.
š What you get working with me:
ā Direct access to me, not an account manager or offshore team
ā Scoped upfront with fixed timelines and clear milestones
ā Design and dev thinking under one roof (I don't just build what you send, I flag what won't work)
ā Conversion and performance considered on every build, not bolted on after
ā Reachable across PST, EST, GMT, and AEST
š What I don't take on:
ā Template swaps priced at $300
ā Generic WordPress installs with no strategy
ā "Just copy this competitor" briefs
If that's the scope, I'm the wrong hire and I'll tell you on the first call before either of us wastes time.
šÆ Industries I've recently built for:
Education, mortgage and finance, hospitality, SaaS, professional services, DTC ecommerce, and marketing agencies. Portfolio links and conversion data available on request (some of it under NDA, so I share in DMs, not on public profile).
š ļø Tools I use daily:
WordPress ⢠Elementor Pro ⢠Bricks ⢠ACF Pro ⢠Custom PHP ⢠WooCommerce ⢠Shopify ⢠Liquid ⢠Shopify Plus ⢠Figma ⢠WP Engine ⢠Cloudflare ⢠GA4 ⢠GTM ⢠Rank Math ⢠Screaming Frog
If you have a site that's underperforming, a project a previous developer left half-finished, or a build coming up where you want it done right the first time, hit Invite. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help.

I design and create responsive WordPress websites for businesses and nonprofits. My strengths are clean design and website speed. My design process is iterative, with client feedback always welcome. I have written custom PHP page templates for WordPress child themes. I am skilled in CSS, HTML and SQL.
I have developed many websites using the Divi theme from Elegant themes. It is well coded and well maintained. I have successfully completed many WordPress websites using other themes also, including Salient and BluChic themes.
WooCommerce is my preferred ecommerce plugin. When it has run slowly, I have researched and made code modifications to fix the issues. I have customized the WooCommerce checkout process by collecting additional customer information and using table rate shipping. I have implemented payment gateways such as Stripe, Square and more.
My most recent work includes implementing an online pre-order Farmer's Market using WCFM Marketplace for multi-vendor stores. I helped the farmers create products and configure their online stores.
I supported an online conference with over 100 participants. Vidoes were live on Zoom and then posted to amazon s3 storage. Access was implemented using LearnDash LMS.
I'm also using WooCommerce Memberships and MemberPress for different projects right now, also in the area of online education.
Class bookings, event calendars, Gravity forms, donation pages and twitter feeds are all modules I have integrated with WordPress websites.
I typically buy my domains from goDaddy and host on WP Engine. But I have worked with many other host platforms including BlueHost, HostGator, SiteGround and more.
I have run successful SEO campaigns for clients that include a bakery, construction law firm, realtor, monument maker, and medical educator.
I have maintained and upgraded clients websites as needed for over 8 years.
