I help store owners keep WooCommerce selling, whether that means building a new shop, rescuing one that has stopped working, or moving one safely to a better home. I founded ProWoos in 2017 and I've worked with WordPress since 2006. I came to the web from graphic design and printing, then spent over 8 years as a system administrator at a web hosting company and several more at WordPress support agencies. So when a store problem turns out to live in the design, the code or the server, I can follow it there. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOUR STORE - New WooCommerce shops and custom features, including bookings, memberships, shipping and payment gateways - Rescue work on slow databases, unresponsive sites, failed migrations, and broken plugins and themes - Security and malware cleanup, and protection against fraudulent orders - Speed and server tuning - Migrations and hosting moves - Multilingual stores - Accessible shops that more of your customers can actually use - Maintenance packages to look after your store once it's running PLUGINS AND THEMES I'VE BUILT For WooCommerce, WC Antifraud and the Klaro theme. For WordPress, Advanced Pixel Editor, Bot Storm Radar, qTrad, Klaro Admin Accessibility and Simple LaunchPad. You'll find them all under Portfolio. I've also had a fix merged into WooCommerce core, and I published "How to create Accessible WooCommerce Shops" on Amazon. HOW I WORK I test on staging before anything touches your live store, I explain what I'm doing in plain language, and I remove my access when we're done. Throughout my career I've been the one who ends up with the difficult jobs. At first I hated being my coworkers' last resort, and now I find myself looking for "trouble", because it keeps me active and learning all the time. There's always a way forward, you just need to care about the job and invest enough time to pull it through. My CV on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rafaelminuesa/

Rafael rescued my 20-year-old site after a hack and a hosting disaster nearly wiped out my legacy SEO. He recovered 247 redirects from the Wayback Machine, tested every one, removed the hack's leftovers, and explained everything in plain English along the way. Professional, thorough, patient, and honest about scope and cost. I felt in good, competent hands the entire time. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Rafael. He helped recover my WordPress website after it had been compromised, and throughout the entire process he was professional, methodical, and extremely knowledgeable. He not only restored the site, but thoroughly investigated the root cause, removed the malicious files and unauthorized accounts, updated and secured the installation, and implemented multiple layers of protection to help prevent future issues. What I appreciated most was his communication. He explained technical concepts in a way that was easy for a non-technical website owner to understand, answered every question patiently, and never made me feel rushed. He was transparent about each step of the process, provided clear recommendations without overselling unnecessary services, and always kept security best practices in mind. The final handover was especially valuable. Rafael provided a clear summary of what happened, what was fixed, a practical maintenance checklist, and guidance on what I can handle myself versus when it's appropriate to seek professional help. I now feel much more confident managing my website going forward. Throughout the project, he respected my privacy and security by encouraging me to maintain control of my own passwords and by removing all of his access before closing the project. That level of professionalism gave me a great deal of confidence and trust. If you're looking for someone who is technically skilled, thorough, trustworthy, and communicates exceptionally well, I would not hesitate to recommend Rafael. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would gladly work with him again in the future.
