A WordPress specialist, not a theme installer
I build WordPress properly, bespoke block themes rather than bloated page builders, and custom Gutenberg blocks that give you exactly the editing experience you need. I maintain a suite of my own WordPress plugins (SEO, caching, image optimisation and more), so I know the platform inside out.
The result is a site that’s fast, secure, easy to edit and genuinely tailored, without the plugin sprawl that slows most WordPress sites down.

Frequently asked questions
Do you use page builders like Elementor?
No. I build bespoke block themes on the native WordPress editor for speed and maintainability, with custom blocks where you need them.
Can you build a WooCommerce shop?
Yes, WooCommerce is a core service, from small catalogues to large, integrated stores. See the ecommerce page for detail.
Can you speed up my existing WordPress site?
Yes. Performance audits and optimisation (caching, images, Core Web Vitals) are a common piece of work, on new and existing sites.
