Theme and plugin development

I build custom WordPress themes from scratch and extend existing ones using modern tooling and professional standards.

Custom theme development

Built on proven boilerplates and starter frameworks for clean, maintainable codebases.

  • REST API integrations and webhooks
  • WooCommerce extensions and checkout customizations
  • Admin workflow improvements
  • Native block (Gutenberg) extensions

Page builder expertise

I have deep experience with the major WordPress page builders. Extending their capabilities beyond out-of-the-box features.

Deep experience

Extensive customization and extension work — beyond drag-and-drop, into code-level control.

  • Elementor — custom widgets, dynamic data, advanced CSS/JS hooks
  • Divi — custom modules, child themes, layout injection
  • Gutenberg / Block Editor — native block extensions and custom blocks

Also familiar with

Solid working knowledge across the broader ecosystem.

  • Beaver Builder
  • Avada
  • Brizy
  • WPBakery / Visual Composer
  • GeneratePress / Kadence / Astra ecosystems

Plugin expertise

I work with the full WordPress plugin ecosystem — but my approach is deliberate: fewer, better plugins rather than piling on dependencies.

Plugins I work deeply with

  • Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) — dynamic content architecture, field groups, custom post type relationships. (Though with modern WP, much of this can be handled natively in PHP without ACF.)
  • Gravity Forms — Elite license holder for 10+ years, deep experience with Gravity Perks, Gravity PDF (including custom templates), and building complex multi-step form systems and data flows
  • WooCommerce — full system builds, custom account and order dashboards, checkout customization, and integrations with payment, fulfillment, and CRM systems
  • WooCommerce extensions — subscriptions, memberships, product bundles, booking systems, and custom order workflows

My plugin philosophy

Most WordPress performance problems are self-inflicted through unchecked plugin usage.

  • I reduce plugin count wherever native WordPress or custom PHP can handle the requirement cleanly
  • I know which plugins ship front-end assets that degrade performance — and avoid or replace them
  • Backend-only plugins rarely impact page speed; front-end-heavy ones almost always do
  • Where I do introduce plugins, I vet for code quality, maintenance history, and compatibility risk

How I work with WordPress

  • Modern tooling: Sass, build pipelines (Webpack, Bud), Git-based version control
  • Standards-based code: BEM methodology, semantic HTML, performance-aware markup
  • Clean handoffs: documented, maintainable work your team can manage going forward
  • Remote-first: I work with clients across the US and internationally — location is not a constraint
