PHP Experience
Custom WordPress development — hooks, filters, and OOP PHP.
Overview
How I've used PHP
PHP is the backend language behind nearly every WordPress project I build — it's what turns a generic CMS into a site with exactly the custom functionality a client's business actually needs.
Across projects like GlobalRemote.nl, GC Logistics, and Lobos & Co, PHP work has ranged from custom theme template logic to building small custom plugins for specific business rules — booking systems with availability logic, custom post types for non-standard content (equipment listings, service packages), and hooking into WooCommerce's action/filter system to customize checkout behavior without touching core files. The discipline that matters most in WordPress PHP work is restraint: hook into the system the right way (actions, filters, template hierarchy) rather than fighting it with hacky overrides that break on the next update.

FAQ
Common questions about my PHP work
Do you write custom plugins or only theme-level PHP?+
Both — most projects only need theme-level customization, but when a client needs functionality that should survive a theme change (custom post types, booking logic), I build it as a lightweight custom plugin instead.
