01

More Than a WordPress Developer

A good website needs more than code.

I combine development, design, SEO, AI, eCommerce, integrations, and technical problem-solving to help businesses build digital experiences that are practical, scalable, and easier to manage.

Development

Custom WordPress websites, themes, plugins, ACF architectures, custom functionality, multisite environments, PHP, JavaScript, APIs, and responsive development.

eCommerce

WooCommerce development, Shopify customization, product systems, payment integrations, checkout improvements, subscriptions, and custom eCommerce workflows.

Design

Figma website mockups, UI/UX design, wireframes, responsive layouts, landing pages, social media creatives, and developer-ready design files.

SEO & AI

Technical SEO, structured data, schema, internal linking, AEO, GEO, AI-powered SEO workflows, automation, and website performance optimization.

Integrations

CRM integrations, APIs, webhooks, payment platforms, marketing automation, data synchronization, and third-party business systems.

Technical Support

Troubleshooting, bug fixing, migrations, hosting, DNS, SSL, deployments, maintenance, performance issues, and production support.

These capabilities align closely with the services and expertise already documented across your portfolio.

02

What I Can Help You Build

I develop WordPress websites around the actual requirements of your business rather than forcing your project into a standard template.

Services include:

03

WooCommerce Development

Need more than a basic online store?

I build and customize WooCommerce experiences around your products, customers, payments, and business processes.

Services include:

  • WooCommerce store development
  • Custom product functionality
  • Product variations and catalog systems
  • Custom checkout functionality
  • Payment gateway integrations
  • Subscription workflows
  • CRM integrations
  • API integrations
  • Order and customer workflows
  • Performance optimization
  • WooCommerce troubleshooting
  • Ongoing maintenance

04

Shopify Development

I also work with Shopify for businesses that need a flexible eCommerce platform outside the WordPress ecosystem.

Services include:

  • Shopify store setup
  • Theme customization
  • Shopify Liquid
  • Figma-to-Shopify implementation
  • Responsive eCommerce design
  • API integrations
  • Third-party integrations
  • Store optimization
  • Troubleshooting and support

Your existing professional profile documents Shopify work including customizing Shopify themes from Figma mockups and delivering responsive eCommerce sites with API integrations.

05

Figma to WordPress Development

One of my biggest advantages is that I understand both sides of the process.

I don’t just receive a Figma file and start coding.

I can work from:

Idea → Wireframe → Figma → Responsive Design → WordPress → Testing → Launch

This helps reduce the gap between design and development.

I create and work with:

  • Website mockups
  • UI/UX layouts
  • Responsive desktop designs
  • Tablet and mobile layouts
  • Landing pages
  • Component-based designs
  • Developer-ready Figma files
  • Design-to-WordPress implementation

 

My portfolio includes multiple Figma projects where my role covered UI/UX, responsive layouts, visual design, and developer-ready website designs.

06

SEO, AEO & GEO for WordPress

A website shouldn’t just look good.

It needs to be understandable, crawlable, discoverable, and useful.

I work on the technical and content foundations that help websites perform across traditional search and emerging AI-driven search.

SEO

  • Technical SEO
  • On-page SEO
  • Internal linking
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Website performance
  • Schema markup
  • Structured data
  • XML sitemaps
  • Robots.txt
  • Search Console
  • Content optimization

AEO

  • Answer-focused content
  • FAQ optimization
  • Entity relationships
  • Structured information
  • Search intent optimization

GEO

  • AI-readable content
  • Entity optimization
  • sameAs relationships
  • Structured data
  • AI visibility
  • llms.txt
  • Internal entity linking
  • Content designed for generative search

 

This is particularly relevant to my own portfolio because I’ve implemented the same technical SEO and GEO framework on this website.

07

Custom API & CRM Integrations

WordPress often needs to communicate with the rest of a business.

I can connect websites to:

  • CRMs
  • Payment platforms
  • Marketing platforms
  • SaaS applications
  • Business systems
  • APIs
  • Webhooks
  • Email platforms
  • Automation platforms

 

Integration work can include:

 

Website → CRM

Website → Payment Platform

Website → API

CRM → Marketing Automation

Form → CRM → Email

WooCommerce → External System

API → WordPress

The goal isn’t simply to connect two systems. It’s to make the whole workflow work reliably.

08

AI & Automation

I also work with AI-powered workflows and automation to reduce repetitive digital tasks.

AI capabilities include:

  • AI-powered SEO workflows
  • AI blog generation
  • Automated keyword research
  • SEO audit automation
  • AI prompt engineering
  • Marketing automation
  • Business workflow automation
  • Custom AI solutions
  • Make.com workflows
  • n8n automation
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic Claude

 

Your existing portfolio specifically documents AI-powered SEO content automation, blog generation, keyword research, SEO audits, prompt engineering and workflow automation.

09
