WordPress Experience
Been working in WordPress since it came storming on the internet in late 2004. I have been creating themes and plugins for this CMS system. Some examples are:
Argylehaus
Hawaii Shark Encounters
Ardsley Construction
The Essential Man
Chelsea Manor
Your Emergency Outlet
How I develop WordPress websites
Custom built to your specific needs
Your business needs more than a generic theme with minor customization. Off the rack themes are bloated with features you don’t need. Some even come with errors. You just paid upwards of $300.00 for a really nice-looking theme and there are errors.
Minimal plugins
Plugins are easy to install but hard to remove. Websites with dozens of plugins can become a house of cards – you don’t know what will happen if you deactivate one. I use industry standard plugins when they make sense (like a contact form), and build your unique functionality from scratch.
As easy to edit as a Word document
The purpose of a CMS is to let you manage content yourself, without the need of a developer. I focus on crafting the backend editing experience to be as easy to use as the frontend.
Faster than your competitors
A 0.1 second improvement of mobile site speed can increase conversion rates by 8-10%. I can deliver speed and efficiency no off-the-shelf theme can match.
Accessible to all users
15% of visitors experience some level of disability, and accessibility lawsuits are increasing. I build websites that meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards.
Built to last
The web changes fast, but you don’t need a new website every few years. I can build you a solid foundation that will adapt to your future needs.
How we solve your problems
A successful web project requires deep collaboration between design, development, and SEO/SEM. My team and I have worked together on over 1000 projects over the past fifteen years.
The problems we solve are unique. We blend style, functionality and then compact it as small as possible for increased site speed. Our WordPress themes outperform all other themes. Not only in site speed but in conversions and page rankings in Google.
An exceptionally fast website requires a performance-focused design. An intuitive editing experience requires a design built with a clear understanding of not only the WordPress content editor but also WordPress itself.
WordPress Plugins
WordPress is a very powerful and the most popular content management system to build incredible websites, currently running on more than 28% of all websites on the internet. But it is also a heavy ship loaded with tons of features, scripts, and stylesheets. If you are using a complex and bloated WordPress theme with various included scripts and stylesheets, it may increase the loading time of your website even more, because all that additional stuff needs to be loaded when someone visits your website. Furthermore, how many plugins are you running? Do you need all of them? Plugins are the number one reason WordPress sites run slow. So we will examine your whole website, not just the theme and plugins but the hosting, PHP version, and MySQL. All of these can lead to a slow experience.
This is the number one reason we do not have any plugins on the repository. I make a living from coding these solutions into themes so there is less code, less bulk, and more speed. This turns into higher conversions and more sales for your business.
