I’m Francesco, CEO of Black Studio and a web professional with 25 years of experience, more than 10 of which focused almost exclusively on WordPress. I joined Codeable in 2015 and since then I’ve helped clients worldwide build, customize, and maintain successful WordPress projects. My expertise ranges from advanced backend and frontend customizations to complex integrations with third-party services. I have an in-depth knowledge of major plugins and tools such as WooCommerce, ACF, WPML, YITH plugins, and many others, and when needed I develop fully custom solutions from scratch. I also have extensive experience with theme frameworks like Genesis, performance optimization, security hardening, and data migration. What clients appreciate most is not only the technical quality, but also my way of working: clear communication, alignment at every step, and reliable delivery. My goal is always to provide high-quality, future-proof solutions and to build long-term professional relationships based on trust. While I personally oversee and work on each project, I can also count on a trusted team of developers, designers, and specialists who support me when a project requires a broader skillset. I’m an active member of the WordPress community, organizing Meetups, speaking at WordCamp across Europe, and contributing to the ecosystem by sponsoring and sharing knowledge and best practices. Staying engaged allows me to always keep up to date with best practices and share knowledge back with the community.

Marco's been very reactive, efficient and understood perfectly the project, right away. He has done a great job in a short time (3 hours between the moment I launched the project and the moment it is done). thanks a lot, I'll get back to you in the future.

Great job and very thorough. It took a bit longer than estimated to complete the task, but the theme switch was still done in under two weeks and everything looks and feels great. Alls well that ends well, right? It honestly was a smooth process throughout. Very responsive team. Would work with them again and again!!
