01 / why me

Strategy first. Code second.

I won't start building until I understand what you're trying to achieve. That conversation is where the real work happens.

01

Business value, not ticket-closing

Before I write a line, I ask what it's supposed to earn, save, or protect. If a simpler path gets you there, I'll tell you, even if it's less billable for me.

02

Extra miles, built-in

Tests, docs, clean handoff, a short Loom walkthrough. The stuff that makes the next developer's job easier. That's the default, not the upsell.

03

130k+ sites as receipts

Code I've shipped runs on 130,000+ WooCommerce stores right now. Patterns I use are battle-tested, not blog-post theory.

02 / how I work

A transparent four-step process.

No mystery, no scope creep, no "we'll figure it out as we go." You always know what's happening this week, what's next, and what you'll get at the end of it.

STEP 01

Discovery

I start with your business, not your bug list. Who's buying? Where's friction costing you orders? I read your site like an auditor before I open an editor.

Business auditTechnical auditPriority matrix
STEP 02

Plan & scope

A weekly-milestone plan with tradeoffs made explicit. You see exactly what you're getting, what's out of scope, and where "nice to have" gets parked.

Scope docMilestone planFixed quote
STEP 03

Build with reviews

Weekly reviews so you never see a surprise. Code lands on staging with tests where they matter. Catch it at week one, not week eight.

Weekly demoStaging accessPRs with context
STEP 04

Handoff and support

You get full docs, a Loom walkthrough, and two weeks of support included. I don't disappear when the job is done.

Each one is in production today, serving actual merchants. Not side projects. Shipped products built to withstand real load and real customers.

What I can do for your business.

Each engagement is scoped around an outcome, not a task list. Here's what clients typically bring me in for, and the business case for each one.

S01

WordPress consulting

Stuck on a thorny problem, or unsure which direction to bet on? I bring 7+ years of pattern-matching so you don't pay to learn what I already know.

Business case: Avoids months of wrong-direction rework. Hourly or retainer.
S02

Website development

From one-page personal sites to full business platforms. Fast, SEO-friendly, and built so any developer can continue after me.

Business case: A site that loads fast, converts, and doesn't trap you in my ecosystem.
S03

eCommerce & WooCommerce

Custom stores built for conversion. I know where carts leak; I fix it before it costs you another month of lost orders.

Business case: Lifts conversion on existing traffic. Sized to your AOV.
S04

Custom plugin development & API integrations

Need a feature nobody sells, or a third-party service wired into your stack? Lightweight, secure, scalable plugins and integrations, with tests and docs a serious codebase deserves.

Business case: Owns a competitive moat. No monthly SaaS tax on your own logic.
S05

Maintenance & retainers

Updates, backups, monitoring, small improvements. A senior engineer on speed-dial, without a full hire's cost.

Business case: Predictable monthly spend instead of emergency panic budgets.
S06

Performance & auditing

Deep-dive audits on sites that feel slow, leak traffic, or break on peak sales days. I tell you what it's costing you and what to fix first.

Business case: Often recoups itself in the first month of higher conversion.
S07

Rescue & recovery

Inherited a broken codebase? Got burned by a previous developer? I take over messy, half-finished, or actively broken projects and make them stable again.

Business case: Cheaper than starting over. Faster than onboarding someone junior to figure it out.
S08

Something else entirely

Your problem doesn't have to fit a category, or even be a WordPress problem. If it involves custom web tooling, APIs, dashboards, or something you're not sure how to label, reach out. The conversation will tell us both whether it's a fit.

Business case: The most valuable engagements often start with "I don't know exactly what I need." That's not a problem. That's where the real work begins.
