Advanced WordPress development, engineered.
Beyond themes and page builders, I work as a full professional WordPress developer - headless builds, custom blocks and widgets, complex WooCommerce, performance and DevOps.

Security engineering

APIs & integrations
Custom REST endpoints, webhooks and two-way integrations with CRMs, ERPs, payment and booking platforms.
DevOps & deployment
Git version control, staging environments, Composer, WP-CLI and CI/CD pipelines for safe, repeatable releases.
My WordPress stack & workflow.
Modern tools and professional standards on every WordPress development project - version-controlled, tested and documented.
Languages & frameworks
PHP 8, JavaScript (ES6+), React, Next.js, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3, Sass and MySQL.
WordPress APIs
REST API, WPGraphQL, Hooks and Filters, Block API, Settings API, Abilities API and WP-CLI.
Tooling & hosting
Git, GitHub Actions, Composer, npm, Docker, LocalWP, Cloudflare, LiteSpeed, Redis and AWS.
Custom plugins, built properly.
When no plugin does exactly what you need - or ten plugins are doing it badly - I build one that fits your business.
Plugins built from scratch
Built for the features your business needs - clean, secure, documented and yours to own.
Plugin customisation & fixes
Existing plugins extended, patched or rebuilt when they conflict, slow the site down or fall short.
Integrations & custom APIs
WordPress connected to your CRM, payments, booking and internal tools through the REST API and webhooks.
WordPress, connected to AI with MCP.

Questions, answered.
Straight answers about WordPress builds, plugins and MCP.
Which page builder should I use - Elementor, WPBakery or Divi? +
It depends on your site and team. Elementor is the most flexible for most businesses, Divi suits design-led sites, and WPBakery is common on ThemeForest themes. I work with all three and will recommend the best fit.
Can you customise a ThemeForest theme I already bought? +
Yes. I set up and customise ThemeForest themes such as Avada, Astra, Flatsome, BeTheme and The7, and keep changes in a child theme so updates do not break your site.
Can you build a custom plugin for my business? +
Yes. Custom plugins are built around your exact workflow, with clean, documented code that you own.
What is a WordPress MCP connection? +
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor manage your WordPress site - drafting posts, updating pages and editing Elementor layouts - with the permissions you set.
Can you fix or speed up my existing WordPress site? +
Yes. I can fix broken layouts, plugin conflicts, security issues and slow pages on your current site without starting over.
Do you build headless WordPress sites? +
Yes. WordPress can run as a headless CMS through the REST API or WPGraphQL, with a fast Next.js or React front end - ideal when speed and flexibility matter most.
Can you customise WooCommerce beyond plugins? +
Yes. Custom checkout steps, payment gateway integrations, subscriptions, B2B pricing and custom product logic are built with WooCommerce hooks and clean, update-safe code.
Do you offer ongoing WordPress maintenance? +
Yes. Care plans cover core, theme and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring and small changes every month.
