I have been building custom WordPress websites for businesses and individuals since 2006.
I specialize in crafting easy-to-use backend experiences so my clients can can easily manage their own website. I often work with attorneys, publishers, and nonprofits.
I also spend time giving back to the WordPress community through tutorials and code snippets to help others learn WordPress, free plugins, speaking at conferences, and participating in local WordPress meetups.
I build websites using WordPress, which makes editing your website as easy as editing a Word document. For more complex websites I spend a great deal of time crafting the backend experience so even non-technical users can easily manage it.
With 12 years WordPress experience, I know the right way to implement your desired features. I’ll be your technical partner, not simply a coder. I’ll provide hosting recommendations to ensure the best performance of your website.
We’ll identify all the different ways you want to present content, and build templates to easily create those pages. Even complex landing pages will be easy for you to create and maintain.
Need some help learning your way around WordPress? I provide an extensive list of training videos through WP101 in the backend of your website, always accessible and up-to-date. I also include detailed written documentation for custom functionality I build for you.
Your website should work great on all devices. Responsive web design allows site elements to adjust for mobile and tablet, like rearranging content blocks and mobile-friendly menus.
Your website will only get better with every update to WordPress. I code with WordPress best practices and use high quality plugins, so there will be no issues when it’s time to update.

Western Journalism is a popular conservative news website, receiving about 35 million pageviews a month.

The University of Cambridge needed a WordPress theme matching their brand guidelines deployed across dozens of university domains. Due to its wide use, the design needed to be easily customizable so each site could be fairly unique. The sites have complex feature requirements, but are managed by non-technical editors so must be easy to manage.
