WordPress Development

Custom WordPress Websites Built to Perform

I don't use bloated page builders or copy-paste templates. Every WordPress site I build is coded with clean PHP, optimized for Core Web Vitals, and structured to rank in both traditional search and AI-powered discovery platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE.

With 9+ years as a full-stack WordPress developer and over 354 completed projects on Upwork, I've built everything from simple brochure sites to complex multi-vendor marketplaces, custom membership systems, and headless WordPress APIs.

My Development Process

01
Discovery & Requirements

I study your business, competitors, and goals before writing a single line of code.

02
Architecture & Planning

Database structure, plugin stack, hosting recommendations, and delivery plan — documented before development.

03
Staging Development

All work on a staging environment. You review and approve before anything touches your live site.

04
Testing & QA

Cross-browser, mobile QA, performance audit, security scan, and accessibility check before every launch.

05
Launch & Handover

Clean deployment, DNS, SSL, and a full video walkthrough so you're never dependent on me for basic updates.
