How it works
A clear process, start to finish
Discovery Call
We scope your project, review existing brand assets, and agree on a site structure and timeline. No guesswork.
Wireframe & Design
I prototype the layout in Figma so you approve the look before a single line of code is written.
Development
Custom theme coding in PHP/HTML/CSS/JS. I build on a private staging URL so you can review progress live.
Content & QA
Populate all pages, run cross-browser and mobile testing, optimise images, and fix anything that feels off.
Launch & Handoff
DNS cutover, SSL certificate, Google Analytics, and a screen-recorded walkthrough of the CMS for your team.

FAQ
Common questions
Will I be able to edit the site myself?+
Yes — every build gets a tailored admin setup and a screen-recorded tutorial. You'll be able to update text, images, and blog posts without touching code.
Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?+
I avoid them for custom work because they add significant bloat. Most projects use a hand-coded theme with Advanced Custom Fields for flexible content management.
Can you migrate my existing WordPress site?+
Absolutely. I handle full migrations including database, media files, redirects, and DNS changeover with zero downtime.
How long does a typical project take?+
A standard 5–10 page marketing site takes 2–3 weeks. WooCommerce stores typically run 3–5 weeks depending on the product catalogue size.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?+
Yes — I offer monthly retainer plans covering WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates, plus security scans and uptime monitoring.
