Migration

Squarespace to WordPress migration without losing control of your site.

Move from Squarespace, Wix, Drupal, Joomla, or an outdated CMS to a cleaner, faster, more flexible WordPress setup. The goal is not only to move pages, but to rebuild the site into something easier to edit, improve, optimize, and grow.

Can you migrate from Squarespace without hurting SEO?

Yes. I plan redirects, preserve URL structure where possible, and keep metadata and content hierarchy intact so rankings and traffic are protected during the move.

Will the new site be easier to edit?

That's the point. I rebuild in a clean, editor-friendly structure (often Bricks Builder) so your team can update content confidently after launch.

Can migration include a redesign?

Yes. Migration is often the right moment to modernize the design, improve mobile layouts, and clean up old content instead of copying the same problems into WordPress.

Can migration include page speed improvements?

Yes. A migration is often the best time to clean up heavy layouts, reduce unnecessary scripts, improve image handling, and rebuild the site with performance in mind.

Can you handle launch details?

Yes. I can help with forms, basic tracking, redirects, staging checks, launch QA, and the practical details that usually decide whether a migration feels smooth.

Urgent Fixes

WordPress bug fixing and urgent technical help.

For inherited, broken, or unstable WordPress sites that need someone who can diagnose the issue and fix it without making the system messier. That includes layout breaks, PHP errors, slow pages, Core Web Vitals regressions, and WooCommerce performance problems.

Can you help with urgent WordPress issues?

Yes. Urgent, site-down, and time-sensitive problems get fast response. Send the details and I'll assess and prioritize the fix quickly.

Can you work on a site built by someone else?

Absolutely. Most fix work is on inherited sites. I diagnose the existing setup carefully before changing anything.

Can you fix WooCommerce checkout bugs?

Yes. Checkout errors, payment flow issues, broken product behavior, cart problems, and plugin conflicts are common WooCommerce support cases.

Will you explain what caused the issue?

Yes. After the fix, I can summarize what happened, what changed, and what should be watched or improved next so the same issue is less likely to return.

Can you fix a site that became slow after updates?

Yes. I can review plugin/theme changes, scripts, images, caching behavior, database overhead, and frontend regressions that often cause a WordPress site to slow down after updates.

Common issues I fix

  • Broken layouts
  • Plugin & theme conflicts

  • WooCommerce bugs
  • Forms & email delivery
  • Update problems
  • Performance regressions
  • Emergency fixes
  • White screen and fatal errors
  • Bricks / Elementor layout issues
  • Admin, login, and access problems
Maintenance & Support

WordPress maintenance and support without agency overhead.

Ongoing support for WordPress sites that need reliable updates, technical cleanup, bug solving, performance improvements, Core Web Vitals follow-up, and someone who understands the site over time.

Is this more affordable than hiring an agency?

Usually, yes. You work directly with me, without account managers or markup layers, so more of your budget goes into actual technical work.

Can you support WooCommerce?

Yes. I handle WooCommerce updates, checkout issues, custom logic, and ongoing store maintenance.

Can maintenance start from a one-time fix?

Yes. Many support relationships start with one urgent or messy issue, then continue as practical maintenance once the site is stable.

Do you work on staging before updates?

When the site needs it, yes. Risky updates and larger changes can be reviewed on staging first instead of being pushed directly to production.

Can support include regular performance checks?

Yes. Maintenance can include speed checks, image cleanup, caching review, script/plugin review, and practical improvements when performance starts drifting.

Ongoing support covers

  • Updates & maintenance
  • Small improvements

Performance & Page Speed

WordPress speed optimization that respects the real site.

Page speed work for WordPress and WooCommerce sites that need better Core Web Vitals, faster mobile loading, cleaner frontend assets, and fewer plugin/script problems. I focus on practical improvements that keep the site stable, editable, and maintainable.

Can you improve Core Web Vitals?

Yes. I review LCP, CLS, INP, mobile loading behavior, render-blocking assets, images, fonts, scripts, and layout stability to find practical improvements.

Do you just install a cache plugin?

No. Caching can help, but real speed work often includes asset cleanup, image strategy, template review, plugin/script decisions, database checks, and hosting/CDN coordination.

Can you optimize WooCommerce speed?

Yes. WooCommerce performance work can include checkout speed, cart fragments, product archive behavior, heavy plugins, tracking scripts, and frontend bottlenecks that affect buyers.

Will speed work break the design?

The goal is to improve performance without damaging layout, tracking, forms, or checkout. I test changes carefully and keep risky optimizations controlled.

  • PageSpeed Insights cleanup

Custom Development

Custom WordPress development by a senior developer.

WordPress builds and improvements using Bricks Builder, Elementor, custom themes, ACF, WooCommerce, PHP, JavaScript, REST APIs, custom plugins, and performance-aware frontend architecture. This is real development work, not just plugin installation.

Do you only install plugins or write custom code?

I write custom code: PHP, JavaScript, custom plugins, ACF configurations, and REST API integrations. Plugins are chosen deliberately only where they're the right tool.

Can you build with Bricks or Elementor?

Yes. I work with Bricks Builder, Elementor, and custom theme builds, depending on what fits the site, team, and long-term maintenance needs.

Can you add custom functionality to an existing site?

Yes. I can extend an existing WordPress site with custom post types, dynamic templates, integrations, admin workflows, and custom plugin functionality.

Can this be done without rebuilding everything?

Often, yes. I can improve or extend the current setup when a full rebuild is not necessary, as long as the existing structure is stable enough to build on.

Do you consider performance during development?

Yes. I think about asset loading, template structure, image handling, plugin weight, and frontend behavior while building, not only after launch.

Figma to WordPress

Figma to WordPress implementation that stays editable.

Pixel-conscious WordPress implementation for teams that care about responsive behavior, design quality, maintainable CSS, fast loading, and a clean editing experience after launch.

Will I be able to edit the site after launch?

Yes. I build reusable, editor-friendly templates so your team can update content and sections without breaking the design.

Can you build Figma designs in Bricks or Elementor?

Yes. I can implement Figma designs in Bricks, Elementor, or a custom theme while keeping the structure clean and manageable.

Do you check mobile and responsive states?

Yes. Responsive behavior is part of the implementation, including mobile spacing, typography, button layout, and section behavior.

Do you consider PageSpeed during Figma implementation?

Yes. I avoid unnecessarily heavy frontend structure, optimize image usage, keep CSS manageable, and build with mobile speed in mind.

Can you improve the design during implementation?

Yes. If something in the design will not work well on real screens, I can suggest practical adjustments instead of blindly copying weak layout decisions.

WooCommerce Development

WooCommerce development from store build to custom functionality and fixes.

WooCommerce work for businesses that need a new store, a Figma-to-WooCommerce implementation, better product and checkout logic, custom PHP functionality, bug fixing, checkout performance cleanup, or ongoing store support from someone who understands WordPress at the code level.

Can you improve an existing WooCommerce store?

Yes. I can work inside an existing store, review the current plugin setup, and improve the parts that are causing checkout, performance, or maintenance problems.

Do you write custom WooCommerce code?

Yes. I handle custom PHP, hooks, filters, checkout behavior, product logic, and integrations when plugin-only solutions are too limited or fragile.

Can you build a WooCommerce store from scratch?

Yes. I can build a new WooCommerce store with product structure, templates, cart and checkout setup, payment/shipping configuration, and editor-friendly management.

Can you turn a Figma design into WooCommerce?

Yes. I can implement Figma designs as WooCommerce product pages, category views, landing pages, cart/checkout improvements, and reusable WordPress templates.

Can you improve WooCommerce checkout speed?

Yes. I can review checkout scripts, payment/shipping behavior, cart fragments, plugin overhead, and frontend bottlenecks that slow down the buying flow.
