Typical projects
Customizations, Plugin Development, Troubleshooting and Fixes
-> Cloudflare Consult Registered Partner <- Most WordPress problems have a deeper cause than what you see on the surface. A slow site isn't just "slow" but usually a bloated database, bad caching config, cheap hosting, or all three piled on top of each other. I dig until I find the actual cause, fix that, and the symptom goes away on its own. ## Things clients typically bring me: - Site is slow, PageSpeed scores are terrible, Core Web Vitals failing - WooCommerce checkout broken, payments not going through, orders misfiring - Emails landing in spam or just... not arriving - Plugin conflicts, white screens, 500 errors - Hosting, DNS, Cloudflare, or migration gone wrong - Custom integrations with third-party APIs, payment gateways, CRMs I've been doing this for 20+ years now and I've worked with WordPress for about 15 of those. PHP, JavaScript, Node.js, MySQL and more. My approach is simplification. I'd rather find the right plugin or service and integrate it properly than build something custom from scratch. Less code, fewer things to break, lower maintenance costs. When custom work is genuinely needed I build it clean, but only after we've ruled out a simpler path. Outside of quick fixes, I run long-term retainers for high-traffic WordPress and WooCommerce sites. Current clients include a top-5 Romanian news publisher (3M+ readers/month) and a top-5 online education platform (7 figures MRR). But every engagement starts the same way: one problem, solved properly.
Skills

Valentin was extremely responsive during a time when my 100+ page website had severe problems after updates. He is superb as a problem solver and technical expert in his field. In addition he has optimal communication skills. He stands out in his ability to help beyond what you think and is more than fair. For obvious reasons, he will be my go to in the future. Very very happy to have found him on Codeable.

Valentin showed knowledge and understanding of the the possible issue from the beginning and shared a simple fix contained within the current environment without needing to make a complicated process. He was very quick with both responses and with the resolution. Additionally he provided an explanation as to what the issue is, what the reason for the issue is and how the solution fixes it. He did an amazing job.
