The problem
A theme and thirty plugins is not a build
The usual way
- A bought theme and a page builder
- A plugin for every feature
- Every change costs more than the last
How I do it
- A theme built for your design
- Custom plugins where they matter
- Fast, and safe to update
What is included
What you get
- 01
Design to WordPress
Your Figma file, or a design I work out with you, built as a responsive theme. Tabby and TubeOnAI were both built this way.
- 02
Custom plugin development
Features written for your business instead of bent out of a generic plugin. For Moneybag that was a payment gateway plugin; for Tabby, a tax calculator and plugins for its AI demos.
- 03
WooCommerce and payments
Stores, subscriptions, payment gateways and checkouts that are short on a phone.
- 04
Learning and membership sites
Courses, enrolment and a dashboard for each kind of user, as built for Open Alliance Learning on LearnDash.
- 05
Integrations
CRM, analytics, chat and forms connected so data lands where your team already works.
- 06
Care after launch
Updates, security patches and changes. I still maintain Tabby after building it.

Process
How I work
- Step 01
Find the cause
I test the site, read the errors and check what changed before I touch anything.
- Step 02
Fix the root
One clean fix where the problem lives, not a patch on top of it.
- Step 03
Measure it
Before and after numbers from PageSpeed Insights that you can check yourself.
- Step 04
Hand it over
You get notes on what was done, so the next change does not undo it.

FAQ
Questions about custom WordPress development
Something else on your mind? Ask me directly.
Ask on WhatsAppCan you build a WordPress site from our Figma designs?
Yes. I build Figma designs into WordPress as they were drawn, responsive on every screen size. Tabby and TubeOnAI both started as Figma files, and Tabby launched on schedule with Core Web Vitals above 90.
Do you write custom WordPress plugins?
Yes. When a feature is specific to your business, a custom plugin is cleaner and faster than stacking general ones. I wrote a payment gateway plugin for Moneybag, and a tax calculator and AI demo plugins for Tabby.
Do you work with Elementor and page builders?
Yes. I use a builder where your team needs to edit pages without a developer, and custom code where speed or logic matters. I also rebuild old, heavy builder layouts when they slow a site down.
Can you take over a site another developer built?
Yes. I start by reading what is there: the theme, the plugins, the errors and what changed recently. You get a short list of what is wrong and what I would fix first before any work begins.
Do you maintain the site after it launches?
Yes. I can look after updates, security and changes for a site I have built or fixed. Tabby is the example: I built it and still maintain it today.
