Your website is the first impression that your customers/clients get of you, so it needs to be good. In order to help you to do this, I focus on the following aspects: - WordPress, Theme & plugin install and configuration - Speed optimization - Bespoke theme development - WooCommerce(and extensions) installation and configuration - Converting PSD, AI, PNG, etc to WordPress themes - Monthly support and maintenance - Website fixes and cleanup after hacks - …and more Speed is very important, if your website takes too long to load, you will lose visitors and customers. I love helping to squeeze every last bit of performance out of a website. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and to learn a little more about me and how I can help you achieve a website that you will be proud to show off!

It was really a pleasure working with Mike and I’m very pleased with the final look of my new WordPress web site. I highly recommend him. My project involved migrating a personal site I’d started by hand-coding in 1996 - to WordPress. I don’t know all the current tech terms and processes, and only had a general idea of what I wanted the new site to look like. Mike was extremely patient, explained things when I asked, offered suggestions and mock-ups, responded immediately with comments and updates. He never spoke down to me or used highly technical jargon, understanding my level of competency. Along the way, he taught me things as I took some online tutorials re: WordPress. Yeah, the final outcome, the way the site looks and operates, is important. But the process, how you get there, is also crucial. Mike excels in both: expertise with WordPress, and friendly and professional communication. Should I have a WordPress project in the future, I will definitely seek out Mike’s expertise. Working with him is a joy.

Mike is fantastic. He got straight on with the job in hand and I had complete faith that he knew what he was doing. After having some less than suitable developers work on my website, this was a complete relief and provided that necessary peace of mind. Highly recommended.

Mike was very adaptable and understanding during this process, we have a small team working on this which often resulted in things moving slower on our end, Mike kept an open line of communication and helped make this is a smooth experience.

Mike simply does not fuck around. He delivers the goods. 5/5 stars, or a 3-star Michelin rating if his website-building skills were a restaurant. The way he can debone a chicken à la Jacques Pepin. His ballotine is masterfully executed and his Coq Au Vin will have everyone coming back for more. I particularly appreciate his choice of Cognac (Les Remarquables de Martell) and wine stock, brought to a low simmer, covered with a lid (never foil) until the meat was thoroughly cooked while obviating desiccation.

Mike is always a clear communicator with fast response times. He also goes the extra mile to walk me through things I don't understand and explain options to me.

This was a new responsive website build from scratch, using WordPress, GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks. It was built with SEO in mind and now ranks well in Google for the chosen keywords.

I built a website for Steven's main business and he was so happy with it that he wanted me to create this second website for him. It was built using OpenRealty and using a lot of custom HTML/CSS/PHP.
