I help clients build, improve, and maintain WordPress websites that are reliable, easy to manage, and built to last. A lot of my work involves solving the kinds of problems that off-the-shelf themes and plugins do not handle well, whether that means custom functionality, Gutenberg blocks, Full Site Editing, frontend improvements, API integrations, or cleaning up a site so it performs better and is easier to work with long term. I’ve worked with WordPress for over 10 years and I enjoy finding practical solutions that fit the way a client actually works. Some projects need a custom plugin, some need better structure, and some just need an experienced developer to step in, untangle the issue, and get things moving properly again. I care a lot about clear communication, maintainable code, and making the process feel straightforward from the client side. My goal is not just to build something that works today, but to leave you with something stable, scalable, and easier to manage going forward. I can help with: - Custom WordPress development - Plugin and theme customization - Gutenberg blocks and Full Site Editing - React-based WordPress functionality - API integrations and custom features - Performance, frontend fixes, and ongoing improvements If you’re looking for someone who can understand the problem, explain things clearly, and build the right solution without overcomplicating it, I’d be happy to help.

Andrew was superb... Great initial discovery visit so he could find out what we wanted. The project was completed early. He kept us in the loop as the project was being completed and a follow up final visit to confirm everything. Super pleased and very well done! John

What can I say? Andrew was completely marvellous. Could not fault him. Project was finished ahead of time and communication was so good. Really great to get onto video calls and sort things out in real time and to get Andrew's advice. I could not recommend him highly enough.

Andrew is a consummate professional. So amazingly proficient, kind, and just an overall pleasure to work and collaborate with on web/tech issues. He rebuilt my website, and I am so pleased that I am going to work on another project with him. I highly recommend Andrew!

From the start, Andrew was an outstanding communicator. His questions were organized, helpful, and easy to understand. Throughout the project, he used check-ins to ensure we were on the same page. I shared an inspirational site, and he pulled elements from it, but clearly made it my own. He is swift, thorough, and accurate. I am completely satisfied, and will definitely be using Andrew again. He has my highest recommendation.

Andrew did a great job working quickly and efficiently. He was able to pick up the pieces from a previously bad situation and really turned the project around. Great at communicating and quickly responds. We will be working with him again :)
