I design, redesign, rebuild, and maintain websites for businesses that need a cleaner user experience, stronger structure, and a site that is easier to manage. I specialize in WordPress, and can take a project from planning and UX through development, migration, troubleshooting, and launch. With more than 30 years of professional experience across web design, development, production, and business management, I bring more to a project than design or code alone. I look at UX, navigation, content structure, responsive behavior, technical setup, and long-term maintainability together. On Upwork alone, I’ve completed more than 100 projects and earned over $300K while maintaining Top Rated Plus status and a 100% Job Success Score. 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡 & 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 I work with businesses and agencies on WordPress projects ranging from complete redesigns and migrations to new builds, UX improvements, and existing sites that need to be cleaned up or rebuilt properly. My work commonly includes: • New WordPress websites • Website redesigns and full rebuilds • UX, navigation, and content-structure improvements • WordPress migrations and platform transitions • Theme and page-builder customization • Responsive and mobile optimization • Front-end development • Forms, SMTP, plugins, and third-party integrations • Hosting, staging, DNS, SSL, and launch • Existing-site troubleshooting and cleanup • Accessibility and performance best practices • SEO-conscious site structure and implementation • White-label WordPress support for agencies I can also help determine whether your existing WordPress setup is worth improving or whether rebuilding on a cleaner foundation makes more sense. My goal is to recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term result, not to push unnecessary development. 𝗨𝗫, 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 & 𝗨𝗦𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 A successful redesign is about more than changing colors, fonts, and images. I look at how visitors move through a website, how information is organized, whether important services are easy to find, where calls to action belong, and whether the site clearly communicates what the business does. That can include restructuring navigation, reorganizing pages, simplifying complex content, improving mobile layouts, strengthening conversion paths, and creating reusable page structures that make the site easier to expand later. 𝗥𝗘𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗦 & 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 Many of my projects begin with an existing website that has become outdated, difficult to manage, poorly organized, or dependent on an old platform or development setup. I can rebuild or migrate the site while preserving the content and functionality that still have value, improving responsive behavior and usability, and handling the technical details required for a clean launch. The goal isn’t simply to reproduce an old website on a new platform. It’s to use the rebuild as an opportunity to make the site better. 𝗦𝗘𝗢 & 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 I build with SEO, accessibility, performance, and maintainability in mind from the beginning, including content hierarchy, heading structure, page organization, responsive behavior, image handling, and technical setup. I do not offer ongoing SEO campaigns, backlink programs, or search-marketing retainers. When a project requires dedicated SEO strategy, I’m comfortable working directly with the client’s SEO consultant or agency and implementing their recommendations within WordPress. 𝗗𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗧, 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗗 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 When you hire me, you work directly with the person designing and building your website. There is no handoff to a junior developer or outsourced production team. I stay involved from planning and design through development, troubleshooting, launch, and final handoff. I also provide white-label WordPress design and development for agencies that need experienced, client-ready production support. I’m comfortable working directly with business owners, marketing teams, agencies, and outside specialists. I can step into an existing project, help define the right approach, communicate clearly throughout the build, and leave you with a site that your team can confidently manage after launch. Whether you need a new website, a full redesign, a migration, or experienced help with a WordPress site that has become difficult to manage, my goal is straightforward: build you a professional website that looks right, works properly, is easy to maintain, and supports the way your business actually operates.
