Services · Websites & WordPress
Websites built around people, not platforms.
I build fast, mobile-first WordPress sites that answer your visitors’ questions, turn phone calls into online forms, and stay easy for your own team to update. No developer on speed dial.
Sound familiar?
- Changing a phone number means calling a developer
- People call to ask things your site already says
- Pages are slow or awkward on a phone
- Forms are PDFs people print, fill in and scan
If any of these ring true, your site is creating work instead of saving it.

Diagnosing the bottleneck
Most websites don’t break. They slowly get harder to use.
It usually comes down to one of three things, and each one quietly costs you visitors and staff time.
!
Rigid templates
A theme that looked fine at launch, but every new page fights the layout and nothing quite fits your content.
!
Bloated themes and plugins
Years of add-ons stacked on each other. Pages load slowly, updates break things, and nobody knows what’s safe to remove.
!
Code only a developer can edit
Hand-coded pages mean every small change, from opening hours to a staff photo, waits in someone’s inbox.
How I build
UX and strategy before code.
I design how people move through your site before I touch a theme. Then every build decision follows from that.
1
Map the visitor journey
I organize pages around the questions people actually ask, so the next step is always obvious.

2
Build editable layouts
Reusable, on-brand page sections your team can mix and match without breaking the design.
Your team publishes without a developer
3
Make speed the default
Lean code, compressed WebP images and caching, set up from day one instead of patched in later.

Questions
What people usually ask first
Can non-developers edit the content?
Yes, that’s the point. I build with reusable, on-brand layouts and structured fields, then walk your team through posting updates, events and documents.
Which page builder do you use?
Whatever suits your team and your site. I build with native WordPress blocks or Elementor and keep either one lean. What matters is that layouts stay on-brand and easy to edit.
How long does a project take?
Most redesigns take three to six weeks. Speed audits and site audits run as one- to two-week sprints.
Can you work with my current host and plugins?
Usually. I review what you have first, keep what works, and only replace what’s slowing you down or creating risk.
What does it cost?
Every proposal includes fixed-price options, so you choose the scope. There’s no open-ended hourly billing.
