WordPress & Shopify Developer | Website Design & Redesign | 10 Years

WordPress and Shopify websites designed in Figma and built to bring in customers. New builds and full redesigns for owners tired of a site that just sits there. Here's the work: take a business that outgrew its website, or never had a real one, and turn it into something that carries weight. Design in Figma first so you see the whole thing before a line of code exists. Then build it properly in WordPress or Shopify. What I take on: → Full website design and development, blank page to live site → Website redesigns, rebuilding a site that isn't performing → Ecommerce builds in WooCommerce and Shopify → Business, service, and portfolio sites → Custom WordPress development when a plugin won't cut it → Figma design handed off clean, or designed and built end to end Stack: WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Elementor Pro, Divi, ACF, Figma, custom PHP and JavaScript. On design. A homepage has a few seconds to say what you do and why it matters. I build around that: what the eye lands on first, what the page promises, and the one action you want a visitor to take. Clear hierarchy and layouts that get out of the way. Responsive on every screen, because most of your traffic is on a phone. Recent work: A boutique clothing brand on WooCommerce was losing checkouts on mobile. Product pages took 5 seconds to load on a phone, and the cart broke on smaller screens. I rebuilt the template, cut image weight, and cleaned up 12 plugins that were fighting each other. Load time came down to 1 seconds and mobile checkouts went up 50% in the first 3 weeks. An events venue came to me with a site nobody had touched in years. Plugin conflicts, broken booking form, barely 10 enquiries a month coming through. I rebuilt the enquiry flow, redesigned the pages people actually landed on, and got the site loading in under 1 seconds. Enquiries went from 10 to 25 a month. A B2B advisory firm operating across four countries needed a site from nothing. No brand assets, no copy, no structure. I mapped the sitemap, designed it in Figma, wrote the site copy, and built it out in WordPress. They went from no web presence to a site their sales team now sends prospects to before a call. A half-finished build from a developer who disappeared. The client had paid for a site that didn't work and was 2 weeks past their launch date. I took over the codebase, fixed what was salvageable, rebuilt what wasn't, and had them live in 3 days. The reviews below are the honest version of what working with me is like. Before we sign anything, you get: ✦ Homepage copy and visual direction. I write your homepage and lay out the visual direction before we agree on terms. You see the structure and the messaging, and you decide if it's right. ✦ Site audit, if you already have a site. Specific problems, ordered by what's costing you most. Not a generic checklist. ✦ A 30-minute call about your business and where the site fits into it. I keep the roster small, which means I turn down work that isn't a fit. If you're serious about a site that does something, tell me about the project and we'll work out whether I'm the right person for it.
