WordPress, WooCommerce & Brilliant Directories Expert

Top-rated Plus WordPress, WooCommerce, and Brilliant Directories developer with 15+ years of experience fixing, improving, and maintaining real business websites. I help founders, agencies, and businesses with the messy website work that needs an experienced developer: broken checkouts, plugin conflicts, slow WordPress sites, WooCommerce issues, Brilliant Directories customisation, migrations, imports, API integrations, hosting problems, and technical SEO fixes. Most of my work falls into these areas: • WordPress development, troubleshooting, and maintenance • WooCommerce checkout, shipping, payment, invoice, and plugin issues • Brilliant Directories setup, customisation, member plans, claim listings, and CSV imports • Website migrations, hosting moves, DNS, SSL, Cloudflare, and server configuration • Speed optimisation, Core Web Vitals improvements, and technical SEO cleanup • Custom PHP, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, and WordPress plugin/theme fixes • API integrations, webhook debugging, and workflow automation • Shopify, BigCommerce, and Klaviyo support where websites, e-commerce, and data need to connect properly Clients usually come to me when something important is broken, unclear, or underperforming. That might be a WooCommerce checkout that is losing sales, a WordPress site that became unstable after updates, a directory website that needs better structure, a failed migration, a plugin conflict, a slow site, or a technical issue their previous developer could not finish. I am especially useful when the job is not just “write code”, but understanding the whole system: the website, plugins, hosting, database, third-party services, business workflow, and the risk of downtime. I do not believe every problem needs a rebuild. Often, the right solution is to diagnose carefully, fix the root cause, document what changed, and leave the site easier to maintain than before. Platforms and tools I work with regularly: • WordPress, WooCommerce, Brilliant Directories • PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, MySQL • Elementor, Divi, Avada, and custom themes • Shopify, BigCommerce, Klaviyo, and ecommerce integrations • Cloudflare, cPanel, WHM, DNS, SSL, and hosting environments • AWS, Docker, API/webhook integrations, and automation workflows • React, Next.js, FastAPI, and Python when custom development is needed If you need an experienced developer to fix, improve, or maintain a WordPress, WooCommerce, or Brilliant Directories site, send me the issue, your website URL, and any relevant screenshots or error messages. I will help you identify the safest next step.
