WordPress Development
I work mostly on WordPress sites that already exist and already matter to a business. Some need new functionality, some need a plugin conflict sorted out, and some need someone reliable to keep them updated and secure.
I write PHP rather than stacking plugins for everything, and I try to leave a site that the next developer can understand.
01 / Fit

- 04Companies that need maintenance and security handled by someone experienced
02 / Problems
What usually brings people here

- 02Updates break the layout, or updates have been avoided for so long that they are risky
- 03Plugin conflicts, white screens and PHP errors
- 04Content editors cannot edit the parts of the page they need to edit

04 / Process
A direct, careful process
- 01
Look at the site
Hosting, WordPress version, theme, plugin list, error logs and whatever is actually failing.
- 02
Tell you what I found
In plain language, with the urgent items separated from the nice-to-haves.
- 03
Work on staging
Changes are made and tested away from the live site wherever hosting allows it.
- 04
Deploy and verify
I check forms, templates and anything connected before calling it done.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you take over a site built by someone else?
Yes. I start by reviewing what is there, then tell you what is safe to keep and what should be changed.
Do you work with Elementor and Bricks?
Yes, along with Gutenberg. I also work on custom themes when a builder is not the right fit.
Can you handle hosting and server issues?
I have Linux administration and Cloudflare experience, so server-side and DNS problems are usually something I can work through with you or your host.
