WordPress Systems Developer | Gravity Forms, WooCommerce, Integrations

When the form becomes the bottleneck, I rebuild the system. I build and fix the WordPress systems businesses run on: Gravity Forms workflows, product configurators and quoting tools, WooCommerce stores, and integrations with the outside systems your business depends on. Clients often come to me after being told what they want isn't possible, or after a previous developer left something nobody can maintain. HOW I WORK 1. Diagnose: trace the failure to its cause before touching code. 2. Restore: get the critical workflow running again. 3. Rebuild for scale: replace the fragile parts with a system that grows with you. 4. Hand over control: tools your team runs without a developer in the loop. WHAT I DO - Gravity Forms systems: multi-step intake, calculators, conditional pricing, product configurators and quoting tools - Document automation: PDFs and document packages generated from form and database data - Custom WordPress plugins built around how your business actually works - WooCommerce troubleshooting and customization for stores that have outgrown their plugins - API integrations: connecting WordPress to CRMs, accounting, inventory, scheduling and almost anything else with an API ONE EXAMPLE An architectural lighting manufacturer came to me when a software update broke their PDF spec sheets. I traced the cause and restored them without a rebuild. Underneath was a bigger problem: 131 near-duplicate order forms, one per fixture. I replaced them with a single configurator driven by a central product database, plus a spreadsheet upload tool so their product manager applies catalog and pricing changes without a developer. Updates that took hours now take minutes. The full project is in my portfolio. WORKING WITH ME - Most of my work is billed hourly, because real systems have unknowns. - For fixed-price work, I recommend a paid 30-minute consultation first, so the price is based on your actual materials rather than guesses. - I hold active licenses for the Gravity Forms ecosystem, including Gravity Wiz and GravityView, so you pay nothing for licensing up front. - I usually respond within six hours. - Some of my clients have worked with me since this platform was called Elance.
