WordPress Freelance Services
Whether your site is broken, slow, outdated, or missing a feature, I handle the full range of WordPress development work — no agency overhead, no runaround, just one experienced developer you can call directly.
Custom WordPress Development
Custom PHP, JavaScript, theme functions, and features built to spec — clean code that works with your existing theme and plugins instead of against them.
Plugin Development & Fixes
Custom plugins built from scratch, plugin conflicts diagnosed and resolved, and existing plugins extended or repaired after updates break them.
CSS & Responsive Issues
Layouts broken on mobile or tablet, misaligned elements, theme styling problems — fixed properly so your site looks right on every screen size.
WordPress Core & Maintenance
Safe core updates, PHP version migrations, error debugging, white-screen recovery, security hardening, and performance tuning.
WooCommerce Development
Store setup, custom checkout flows, payment gateway issues, product data, shipping rules, and WooCommerce customizations of any size.
Third-Party Integrations
Connect WordPress to CRMs, payment processors, email platforms, shipping services, and any API your business depends on.
Why Hire a Freelance WordPress Developer?
Agencies charge agency prices and route you through project managers. With a freelancer, you talk directly to the person writing the code.
- Direct communication — you call, I answer. No ticket queues or account managers.
- Lower cost — freelance rates without agency markup, billed transparently.
- Fast turnaround — small fixes often done same-day; urgent site-down issues prioritized.
- Full-stack WordPress skills — PHP, JavaScript, CSS, MySQL, REST API, WooCommerce, and popular page builders.
- Honest scoping — clear quotes up front. If a $50 fix solves it, you won't be sold a $5,000 rebuild.
