The problems that quietly cost you clients.
Most WordPress sites don’t fail on day one. They fail six months in — when the design has drifted, the load time has crept up, and nobody wants to touch the code underneath. Here’s where I come in.
Design fidelity
“It looked perfect in Figma. It doesn’t look like that live.”
I convert Figma, PSD, and XD files into Elementor layouts that match the source, down to spacing and type — not an approximation of it.
Site speed
“Visitors leave before the page even loads.”
WP Rocket configuration, image optimization, and Core Web Vitals tuning turn a sluggish build into one that loads before people bounce.
Responsiveness
“It works on my laptop. What about a phone?”
Every layout is checked and fixed across desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints — no stretched images, no overlapping text, no surprises.
Legacy code
“The last developer left, and now nobody understands the site.”
I debug and refactor inherited codebases — WordPress or custom PHP — so the site is stable, documented, and safe to hand off again.
One primary craft. A full engineering team behind it.
WordPress and Elementor are the front door. Most of what makes a site actually perform lives underneath — and that’s where the full-stack background pays off.
Primary offering
WordPress & Elementor Development
Custom-built WordPress sites designed for clean layouts, strong UX/UI, and zero compromise on responsiveness. Built primarily in Elementor Pro, with ACF, Oxygen, and Divi where the project calls for it.
- Pixel-accurate conversion from Figma, PSD, and XD
- Fully responsive builds fixed across every breakpoint
- Performance tuning: WP Rocket, image optimization, Core Web Vitals
- On-page SEO foundations: heading structure, clean HTML, page speed
- Ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, and Elementor component refinement
Full-Stack Engineering
Laravel, PHP, CodeIgniter, and MySQL/PostgreSQL for when a project needs custom logic, not just a page builder — internal tools, dashboards, and business systems.
Payments & Integrations
PayPal, Plaid, and BitPay payment flows, IPQS fraud prevention, Klaviyo automation, and GoHighLevel — wired up securely and tested end to end.
Optimization & Infrastructure
Cloudflare, cPanel, and PageSpeed configuration to keep sites fast, secure, and easy to maintain long after launch.
Modern workflow
Faster builds. Same standards.
I use modern tooling — including AI-assisted code generation and design review — to deliver cleaner work in less time. The quality bar doesn’t move; the timeline does.
Elementor + AI review
Landing page with AI-assisted copy and layout review
Built the Elementor structure from the Figma spec, then used AI tools to review the copy for clarity and the layout for CTA hierarchy before delivery. Client-facing result was unchanged; review time was cut significantly.
Laravel + Copilot
Backend module with AI-assisted boilerplate generation
Used GitHub Copilot to scaffold repetitive CRUD controllers and validation logic, then reviewed and tested every generated block before committing. Reduced boilerplate time by roughly 40% without adding technical debt.
WordPress + AI debugging
Legacy WordPress site stabilised with AI-assisted debugging
Inherited a WordPress site with undocumented customisations and recurring errors. Used AI tools to trace root causes faster, cross-reference similar bug patterns, and document the fixes — leaving the codebase cleaner than I found it.
Screenshots are representative placeholders. Real project assets available on request for qualified opportunities.

How a project actually runs.
The same five steps, every time — whether it’s a full WordPress rebuild or a custom backend system.
01
Discover & scope
Requirements, goals, and constraints, gathered directly — not assumed.
02
Design fidelity check
Figma, PSD, or XD reviewed against what’s technically buildable.
03
Build
Elementor for the front end, Laravel/PHP where custom logic is needed.
04
QA & optimize
Every breakpoint tested. Speed and Core Web Vitals tuned before launch.
05
Launch & support
Deployed, monitored, and maintained — bugs fixed before clients notice.
