Integrity and honesty are foundational to my working style. Delivering work that you feel is worth the investment of your time and money is of the utmost importance to me. Listening, taking care to understand your ideas and concerns, cost-efficiency, and clear communication are table stakes. CUSTOM THEME DEVELOPMENT I've found that sometimes building a theme from scratch takes less time than tweaking something that already exists. Plus custom themes help websites to be faster, leaner, and more efficient. Building a custom WordPress theme is my first preferred approach when starting a new project. It allows us to create something unique and high-performing. When I build a custom theme, I like to ensure that they are: Clean code and standards-compliant Functionality flexible Design adaptable Fast page speeds An easy to use admin dashboard PAGE BUILDER (ELEMENTOR, GUTENBERG, DIVI, WPBAKERY) Preferred page builder: Elementor Setting you up to succeed beyond the build is something I am committed to thinking about. This includes recommendations around maintenance, updates, reporting, and ease of future customization - which is where page builders come in. I like to work with Elementor - a page builder that saves time and also sets you up for easier customization and updates in the future post build. It's also compatible with Custom Post Types as well as Advanced Custom Fields, which means I can be more versatile with this kind of build. A WIDE RANGE OF CLIENT EXPERIENCE I am curious by nature and love to learn. This has led me to work with a wide range of clients both locally and internationally. From intricate corporate websites to personal blogs, media sites to eCommerce startups, and national newspapers and NGOs – I’ve gained experience across a range of business verticals.
