WordPress Technical Partner | Development, SEO & Security

I help small businesses keep their WordPress websites secure, reliable, and up to date—without needing to find a different freelancer for every technical task. With 10+ years of WordPress experience, I provide ongoing support, technical SEO improvements, and custom development. If your website already works well, I focus on maintaining what works and making targeted improvements—not pushing an unnecessary redesign. I can also build new WordPress websites or develop custom functionality when your business needs it. WORDPRESS MAINTENANCE & TECHNICAL SUPPORT I work with established WordPress websites, including those built with classic themes, ACF, Elementor, WPBakery, Avada/Fusion Builder, Gutenberg, and Full Site Editing (FSE). - Ongoing updates, compatibility checks, troubleshooting, and bug fixes - Performance improvements, caching, and Core Web Vitals - Diagnosing issues with themes, plugins, forms, and integrations - Technical improvements without disrupting existing functionality - Long-term support as your website and business needs evolve TECHNICAL SEO I use semantic HTML and sound website architecture to help search engines crawl, understand, and index your content. I investigate technical barriers to visibility and implement fixes directly in WordPress. - Google Search Console and indexing troubleshooting - Canonical URLs, redirects, XML sitemaps, and crawlability - Structured data (Schema markup) and semantic page structure - Technical SEO audits and implementation of recommendations - Collaboration with SEO specialists and marketing teams I can handle technical SEO issues independently or work with your SEO team to turn their recommendations into working website changes. WORDPRESS SECURITY - Reviewing themes, plugins, and custom code for vulnerabilities - Secure coding, input validation, permissions, and access control - WordPress security hardening and two-factor authentication (2FA) - Backups, website restoration, and recovery - Safe updates and resolving security-related issues CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT & NEW WEBSITES I also build websites from scratch and create custom features for existing sites, using approaches that fit the project's requirements and current setup. - Custom WordPress plugins, themes, Gutenberg blocks, and FSE - Responsive websites built from Figma, Adobe XD, or Photoshop designs - PHP, JavaScript, React, Vue, HTML, and CSS - REST API development, third-party services, and payment integrations - Booking platforms, business workflows, AI integrations, and automation RELEVANT EXPERIENCE Long-term WordPress support — Supported three clients for periods of one to five years, handling maintenance, technical SEO, security, troubleshooting, and new functionality. Worked with designers, SEO specialists, and marketing teams on ongoing improvements. WordPress plugins and website development — Created custom plugins, including publicly available projects on WordPress org, and developed complete WordPress websites from design files. OpenAI-powered webpage generation — Developed a tool that generates webpage layouts and content, selects images for individual sections, and lets customers copy completed designs into their websites. SaaS website redesign — Helped migrate a hospitality technology company's website from an ACF-based implementation to a custom FSE theme and Gutenberg blocks, improving content editing and maintainability. Custom booking system — Built a hotel booking platform with payment and accounting integrations and a central management dashboard. HOW I WORK I first learn how your website is built and what your business needs. I explain problems and options clearly, make maintainable changes, and coordinate with your designers or SEO team when needed. My aim is to become a dependable technical contact who knows your website over time, so you can focus on running your business instead of managing a series of one-off fixes. If you need ongoing WordPress support—or a new website or custom feature—I'd be glad to discuss your requirements.
