Why clients hire me
One developer for the whole job
Agencies split your site between designers, developers and hosting support. I handle all of it — and stay with you after launch.
Code to server — one developer
Theme, plugins, hosting and deploys handled by one person. No finger-pointing between agencies.
Clients who stay for years
Many of my 112 Upwork jobs are repeat work from the same clients — since 2014.
Clear, fast communication
Plain-English updates, quick replies and honest timelines across time zones.
Performance first
No bloated page builders. Lean code, optimised images and self-hosted fonts.
Secure by default
Hardened servers, SSL, backups, least-privilege access and clean, escaped code.
Easy for you to edit
ACF blocks with clear fields, so you update content without breaking the design.

FAQ
Questions clients often ask
Can’t find your answer? Send me a message — I usually reply within a few hours.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, custom features and whether design is included. Small fixes are billed hourly; full websites get a fixed quote after a short call. Send me the details and I will reply with a clear estimate.
How long does a project take?
Small updates usually take 1–3 days. A custom theme for a business site typically takes 2–4 weeks, depending on pages and feedback rounds.
Should we work through Upwork or directly?
Either is fine. Upwork gives you payment protection and my full review history; new clients often prefer it. Long-term clients can also work with me directly.
Can you also host and manage the server?
Yes. I can set up a VPS (Nginx, PHP, MariaDB, SSL, firewall, backups) and deploy your site automatically from GitHub — or work with your current host.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes. Pages are built from ACF blocks with simple fields, so you can change text, images and sections without touching code.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes — bug fixes, updates, new sections and monthly maintenance. Many of my clients have worked with me for years.
