WordPress Development
WordPress is still the right choice for most small businesses — when it's built right. I do custom Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce setups, and editor-friendly CMS structures so your client (or you) can update the site without calling me every week. Built one for The Shape Interiors. Happy to build one for you.

Custom WordPress websites built to be managed, not fought with
WordPress powers a huge share of the web because it's flexible — but that flexibility can turn into a slow, plugin-bloated mess without someone who knows how to build it properly. I develop custom WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores that load fast, are easy for a non-technical client to update, and don't fall apart the first time a plugin gets updated.
What's included
- Clean, custom builds — built in the block editor or Elementor without a bloated pre-made theme, so pages load faster and match your design exactly
- Editor-friendly layouts — Gutenberg blocks or Elementor templates set up so you can update content without breaking the design
- WooCommerce setup — product catalogs, payment gateways, shipping rules, and checkout customization for stores that need to actually sell
- Performance and SEO — clean markup, image optimization, caching, and Core Web Vitals tuned for search ranking
- Editor-friendly CMS structure — custom fields and templates organized so your team can add pages and posts without calling a developer every time
Who this is for
Small businesses and founders who need a WordPress site that looks custom (not templated), loads fast, and can be maintained by someone on their team after handoff — plus store owners who want a WooCommerce setup that's actually reliable at checkout.
What it costs
Starter from $150 (up to 5 pages, basic SEO), Business from $300 (up to 10 pages, advanced SEO, blog setup), or Premium from $600 if the site also needs a WooCommerce shop.
See all packagesHow long it takes
3 to 5 days for Starter, 7 to 10 days for Business, 20 to 25 days for Premium.
How a project works
- 01
Brief
You tell me what the site needs to do, any sites you like, and your budget and deadline. I reply within two business days.
- 02
Scope and quote
We agree the pages, features and package, and you get a fixed price and delivery date in writing before work starts.
- 03
Build and review
I build on a staging link so you can see progress and request changes as it comes together.
- 04
Launch and handover
The site goes live on your domain and hosting, and you get the logins and a walkthrough so you can manage it yourself.
