Wordpress Web Designer Developer with NextJs Frontend Development

I'm a full-stack web developer specializing in WordPress development and Next.js frontend development, with 2-4 years of hands-on experience building websites and web applications for real businesses. I bridge two worlds that don't always overlap traditional WordPress development and modern JavaScript frameworks so I can build anything from a content-managed business website to a fast, custom Next.js frontend powered by a WordPress backend via the REST API. I'm currently working on long-term, ongoing projects on Upwork, including custom directory development for a niche market and WordPress website design and development, with 500+ hours delivered so far. Most of my other project work has been through direct client relationships and NDA-protected agency work, so my full portfolio isn't public, but I'm happy to walk through my process, code samples, and live examples where I'm able to share them. WORDPRESS DEVELOPMENT 1) WordPress designer and WordPress developer support 2) Custom theme development and page builder work (Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg) 3) WordPress REST API development and custom endpoint creation 4) WooCommerce setup and customization 5) Plugin customization, bug fixes, and ongoing maintenance 6) WordPress speed optimization and security hardening NEXT.JS & REACT FRONTEND DEVELOPMENT 1) Next.js frontend development and React component architecture 2) Headless WordPress setups - Next.js frontend powered by WordPress REST API 3) Responsive, fast-loading, SEO-friendly frontend builds 4) Component-based development for scalable, maintainable codebases 5) API integration between decoupled frontends and WordPress backends PHP & BACKEND / API DEVELOPMENT 1) Custom PHP development within WordPress 2) WordPress REST API - building and consuming custom endpoints 3) Third-party API integrations (payment, CRM, email marketing platforms) 4) Database-driven functionality and custom data handling 5) Secure, maintainable backend code that scales with the project WHY WORK WITH ME 1) 2-4 years of real, hands-on development experience across WordPress and modern JavaScript frameworks 2) Comfortable working across the full stack - from WordPress backend to Next.js frontend 3) Clear communication and realistic timelines 4) Careful, tested code - I don't cut corners on functionality to save time 5) Available for both project-based work and ongoing support GOOD FIT FOR 1) Businesses wanting a modern, fast frontend without giving up WordPress's content management 2) Agencies needing a developer comfortable with both traditional CMS and headless/decoupled architecture 3) Projects requiring custom WordPress REST API work or third-party integrations 4) Anyone looking for a long-term development partner, not just a one-time build HOW I WORK 1) Understand your goals, current setup, and technical requirements 2) Recommend the right architecture - traditional WordPress, headless WordPress + Next.js, or a hybrid approach 3) Build with clean, well-structured, maintainable code 4) Test thoroughly across devices and use cases 5) Hand off with clear documentation so you're not dependent on me for every small change If you need a WordPress developer, a Next.js frontend developer, or someone who can bridge both combining WordPress's content management strength with a modern, fast, custom frontend send me your project details and I'll reply with a clear plan.
