[03] Services / What we do
Hand-coded themes and Elementor builds for marketing sites that load fast and rank, no bought templates.
WooCommerce stores engineered around checkout speed and conversion, from catalog architecture to payment flows.
Headless WordPress with Next.js, React dashboards and Laravel tooling, when a brochure site stops being enough.
Performance rescues, Core Web Vitals fixes and monthly maintenance that keeps plugins, backups and rankings healthy.
[04] Process / How we work
01 / 04
A working call, not a sales call. We map your goals, audience and competitors into a scope you can hold me to, pages, features, deadlines, price.
02 / 04
Layout, typography and interaction designed in the browser, on your actual content. You review real pages, not static mockups that break in development.
03 / 04
Hand-written code on a modern stack, WordPress or Next.js, with performance budgets enforced from the first commit, not patched at the end.
04 / 04
Migration, analytics and go-live without downtime, then I stay on it. Updates, backups and fixes handled the same day, not next quarter.

Uptime
Every build ships with the things agencies quote as add-ons.
Briefing, concept, design, build, operations, no handoffs between specialists. You talk to the person doing the work, the whole time.
Lighthouse targets in performance, SEO, accessibility and best practices, part of the spec on every project, verified before launch.
[09] Writing / From the work
WooCommerce vs Shopify from a developer who builds WooCommerce stores: the real costs, the 2.9% + 30¢ per-sale fees, and an honest take on which to pick.
Live 2026 rate data: the $20 marketplace median, the $30 US employed average, the $40 to $90 senior freelance band, and what each price actually buys you.
49% of hacked WordPress sites carry a hidden backdoor at remediation (Sucuri, 2023). A recovery sequence that finds the entry point, not just the malware.
[FAQ] Frequently asked
Six answers that make the first call shorter.
Fixed prices, published openly: Elementor sites start at $250, custom WordPress builds at $600, and full-stack or headless Next.js work at $800, each quoted to a firm number after a short briefing. You get one number before work starts, no hourly surprises, no scope drift billed later.
Most marketing sites ship in 3–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. E-commerce and web-app builds run 6–10 weeks depending on integrations. You get a dated milestone plan with the quote, and you see working pages, not status reports, every week.
WordPress with hand-coded themes or Elementor when the project calls for it, WooCommerce for stores, and Next.js with React for headless and app work. PHP 8, TypeScript and a performance budget on every build. No page-builder lock-in unless you choose it.
Yes, that's the whole practice. Clients across the US and beyond, with working hours that overlap EST through PST. Calls, Loom videos and a shared project board keep everything visible; time zones have never lost a project a deadline.
One person: me. I scope it, design it, build it and support it. Nothing is outsourced or handed to a junior. That's slower than an agency floor of ten people, and it's exactly why the details survive from the first call to the final build.
Fully. The site lives in your hosting, the repo is transferred to you, and every account, domain, analytics, plugins, is registered in your name from day one. If we ever part ways, you lose nothing but my phone number.
