Skip to content WordPress Development Services
400+ Projects Delivered with 99% Job Success
My WordPress development services started with a five-page restaurant website in 2017. The owner wanted online ordering, a reservation form, and "something that doesn't look like every other restaurant site." I built it in Elementor on a theme I'd never used before, charged $200, and spent three days fixing a mobile menu that collapsed into the hero image on iPhones. The restaurant closed two years later. But the site worked perfectly until the day it went offline, and the owner still left a five-star review.
That was project number one. I'm now past 400 on Upwork alone. Top Rated badge, 99% job success score, $100K+ in verified earnings. The projects got bigger. The problems got more interesting. The mobile menus stopped breaking. But the process hasn't changed much: you tell me what's broken or what needs building, I tell you exactly what it'll cost and how long it'll take, and then I build it.
No agency markup. No project manager relay. You work directly with me, a freelance WordPress developer with a BS in Computer Science and 8 years of building sites that load fast, rank well, and actually convert visitors into customers.
