Custom themes, visual editing

No off-the-shelf templates here. I craft lightweight, bespoke themes tailored to your brand and your content – with clean code under the hood and intuitive editing tools for your team.

  • Fast, responsive themes
  • Built with accessibility in mind
  • Fully customisable layouts
  • Flexible content structures

Gutenberg & ACF

WordPress has come a long way – and I make the most of its modern tools. I build with the built in Gutenberg block editor and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to give you visual, flexible editing without the fuss.

  • Custom block development
  • Easy-to-manage field groups
  • Fully customisable settings, whilst keeping your brand in tact
  • ACF Flexible Content

Plugin development & integrations

Need your site to do something specific? I can build or customise plugins to add just the functionality you need.

  • Custom plugin development
  • WooCommerce extensions
  • API & third-party integrations

Performance & site audits

Already have a WordPress site but it’s not running smoothly? I can help identify performance issues, tighten up code, and improve the editing experience.

  • Site speed optimisation
  • Accessibility and performance reviews
  • Code clean-up and refactoring

Scalable for the future

Whether you’re planning to scale your content, grow your business, or hand things over to a team, I build with the future in mind. Clean, maintainable code, thoughtful structure, and clear documentation come as standard.

My approach

Built for editors

A powerful CMS doesn’t have to be overwhelming. I design WordPress dashboards that are easy to navigate, even for non-techy users — so your content team can work efficiently and confidently.

Technical where it matters

From REST API integrations to custom post types, I can handle the complex stuff while keeping your site user-friendly and fast.

Design that understands development

Because I’m also a front-end developer, I design with implementation in mind. That means less back-and-forth, smoother handoffs, and visuals that actually work in the browser — not just in Figma.

Collaborative and flexible

Need me to jump into an existing build? Want to redesign without rebuilding the whole thing? No problem. I adapt to the needs of your project and your team.

Accessibility-first

WordPress should work for everyone. I bake in accessibility best practices from the start — for editors, users, and everyone in between.
