Full Website Builds, Theme Development
I specialize in crafting custom WordPress websites that are optimized from day one of "going live" (SEO, Load time, Accessibility, mobile responsive, pixel perfect, and cross-browser/platform compatible). Apart from WordPress, I strongly focus on Javascript and **React** (Web apps and integrations/animations). What I enjoy the most is taking designs and "bringing them to life" in a custom-coded and optimized WP theme. (I use a framework that I developed: gulp, babel, webpack, Gutenberg, es6, SCSS, BEM, OOCSS, SMACSS). I try not to use jQuery and Bootstrap (in order to achieve the best speed and scores possible), but if that's the client's request, I will use them. What I can do for You in summary * Code a custom WP theme from any design format * Tweak/fix and customize your existing website * SEO, Load-Time, and accessibility optimization * Install and configure plugins * Audit your website and propose steps for improvement (SEO and Load-Time) * SVG animation * Integrate 3rd party APIs; Google Maps, Gmail, MailChimp to name a few * Code a custom React web app * Code a static website or a landing page What I don't do * While I respect WP premium themes and page builders, I prefer not working with them as I stated above * While I work with WooCoommerce, and know it, right now I am not taking Woo projects (I plan to start working with it again soon). Why work with me? * Excellent communication and project management * Careful planning and asking the right questions before the project starts * Clean, modularized, and well-documented code * Overall rating of 5/5 since 2014. * "Everything is feasible and solvable" attitude * Quick turnaround time To summarize I love crafting custom solutions that help solve your business problems, are performant, scalable, and a breeze to maintain through the intuitive admin interfaces. If you like what you see here, I would be privileged to be able to help with your awesome project! So feel free to reach out :)

Nikola did a wonderful job for me. He was so easy to communicate with, and understood exactly what I needed. Everything happened much faster than I expected, and the results look great. I will be asking him to take on future tasks as well.

What some of my past clients have said about me
Some of the reviews I gathered throughout the years of working on a previous platform before joining Codeable.
WebRedone
For more examples of projects, complete case studies about them and past clients' feedback feel free to visit my website. This is also my best-optimized website so far:
RefugePoint
Custom WP theme with a complex map animation. It used the framework based on Timber (Twig templates). I am proud of the world map SVG animation based on data that showcases engagements through time.
Onsen Education
Custom WP website with parallax hero animation. Cross-browser/devices optimized. Apart from the animation, the site uses Gmail API for emails and has a Tinder-line "slider" for mobile devices.
Beach Front Property Management
A beautiful redesign of the old website with Technical SEO and ease of use as main focuses. Everything is custom and coded from scratch based on my starter theme and ACF Pro plugin.
SiliPint
Redesign and a full website build. It's built with extensive use of ACF Pro (Flexible Content). The goal was to implement a custom cart that adds/removes gifts and discounts based on the cart's value.
Dreamhost - blog development from scratch
One of the largest clients I have had the privilege of working with so far was Dreamhost. I coded a custom blog with custom ad management functionality based on their designs.
