James Roberts

Hi, I'm James. For the last twelve years, I've been helping business owners, agencies, and enterprise-level clients run successful, highly effective, full-stack WordPress projects by providing quality-driven development services. WHY WORK WITH ME: * I put my client's needs first, and offer tailored solutions based on their needs. * I focus on quality standards and longevity. * I understand the importance of deadlines. * By keeping up to date with the latest developments in WordPress, and continuously improving my skills, I have been able to tailor my expertise to the latest WordPress technology, taking a modern approach to everything I do. MY TECH-STACK AND WORKFLOW: Certain areas of my workflow can vary from project to project, but in general, I tend to always use the same best practices: * Blocks - I always approach WordPress projects with a modern, block-based mindset. This includes (but is not limited to) block theme development, core block manipulation, and custom block development. * GitHub - I use the tried and tested GitHub Flow. * Code - I create well-structured, well-organised, and well-documented code in the following languages: - PHP. - JavaScript / ReactJS / jQuery. - HTML. - CSS / SASS. - In addition to the above languages, I also specialise in technologies such as MySQL, Webpack, and Node. * Standards - It is important to me that I am ALWAYS following the WordPress coding standards. To do this, I make sure to: - Run all PHP through PHPCS, configured to the official WP coding standards (or the official WP-Extra coding standards, depending on the project). - Run all JS through ESLint. - Run all SASS through StyleLint. I'M A WORDPRESS CONTRIBUTOR: As WordPress itself is open source, I dedicate time to help contribute to the platform. I was honoured to be mentioned as a noteworthy contributor for the 6.4 release, and I also run the bi-weekly new WordPress Contributor meetings, designed to help new contributors get started.
