Hire a WordPress Developer
4+ years. 35+ projects shipped. 90+ PageSpeed scores. I build fast, clean, and conversion-focused WordPress websites for businesses across New Zealand, Australia, and the USA — with zero page-builder bloat and full code ownership on handover.
Why Clients Choose This WordPress Developer
Not every developer is the right fit. Here's what sets this engagement apart.
Performance-First Builds
Every site targets 90+ PageSpeed. Fast sites rank better, convert more visitors, and retain users longer — it's not optional.
No Page Builders — Ever
Hand-coded custom themes with zero Elementor or Divi dependency. Clean, maintainable code any developer can pick up.
Strategy Before Code
I ask what you need to achieve, not just what you want to build. The brief shapes the architecture, not the other way around.
Deadlines Respected
Milestone-based timelines, always communicated upfront. 35+ projects delivered without a single missed handover.

Hiring FAQ
How quickly can you start on my project?
Typically within 1–2 weeks of scoping and signing off. If you have an urgent deadline, mention it upfront and I'll prioritise accordingly.
What information do you need for a quote?
A brief description of the project, your preferred timeline, and any reference sites or a current URL. A 15-minute call is often faster than back-and-forth email for scoping.
Do you work with international clients remotely?
Yes — most of my work is for clients in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA. Async communication means time zones are never a bottleneck. I provide staging links and Loom videos so you always know what's happening.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer, PayPal, or Wise for international clients. Standard split: 50% upfront, 50% on completion. Retainers billed monthly.
Will I own everything after launch?
Absolutely. Full ownership of all code, design files, and assets. I hand over complete credentials and documentation — no lock-in.
Can you take over a site someone else built?
Yes. I regularly inherit existing WordPress sites for performance audits, redesigns, or ongoing maintenance. Share the access and I'll assess what's needed.
