How I Work

A simple, reliable process, built for agencies

My workflow is designed to be fast, flexible, and agency-friendly. Whether I’m working behind the scenes or client-facing, I keep projects on track and communication clear from start to finish.

1. Kickoff & Scope

We start with a quick call or brief to define project needs, deliverables, and timelines. I can work from your designs or collaborate early on structure and UX.

2. Build & Review

I develop clean, scalable WordPress code using modern standards, whether it’s a custom theme or a modular build. I’ll keep you in the loop with staging access and regular check-ins.

3. Launch & Handoff

Once approved, I handle the deployment and ensure everything is polished and tested. You get full admin access, documentation (if needed), and a worry-free handoff.

4. Support & Growth

Need post-launch help? I offer hosting, maintenance, SEO, CRO support, and emergency fixes — so you’re never left scrambling if something changes.

FAQs

You have questions? Here are some answers

I aim to make working together as smooth and predictable as possible. Here are answers to a few common questions from agency partners.

Do you offer white-label development?

Yes — most of my work is delivered under the agency’s brand. I can work entirely behind the scenes or coordinate with your team in whatever way suits your client relationship.

Can you work from our Figma or XD designs?

Absolutely, plus a bunch more design formats. I regularly build custom themes from agency design files and ensure pixel-perfect fidelity across responsive breakpoints.

How long do projects typically take?

It depends on scope, but most custom builds are delivered in 15–25 business days. I’ll provide a clear timeline up front and keep you in the loop at every stage.

Do you handle hosting, SEO, or ongoing maintenance?

Yes — I offer managed WordPress hosting, technical and on-page SEO, performance optimization, and worry-free maintenance packages.

Can you help fix a broken site or clean malware?

Yes. I offer urgent support for hacked sites, performance issues, or plugin-related problems. Fast turnaround, clear communication, and no upselling.

What tools do you use?

For development: custom themes, ACF, modern WP standards. For collaboration: Figma, Slack, email, and shared docs — whatever works best for you.

Do you provide fixed quotes or work hourly?

Most projects are quoted at a fixed cost based on scope, but I’m also happy to work on an hourly basis for flexible or open-ended engagements.

Will my client be able to update the site easily?

Yes — every build includes a clean, intuitive CMS setup. I typically use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) blocks to keep things flexible but simple to manage for non-technical users.

Can you join client calls or stay behind the scenes?

Either! I can be introduced as your developer or work completely behind the curtain. Whatever best supports your relationship with the client.

Do you offer retainers or long-term support?

Yes — I work with several agencies on a monthly basis for ongoing development, SEO, CRO, maintenance, and performance optimization.

What kind of WordPress setups do you support?

I specialize in custom theme development. I avoid working with 3rd party themes and page builders, as they can often be detrimental to flexibility and performance.

Can you audit or improve an existing WordPress site?

Definitely. I offer site audits for performance, SEO, accessibility, and code quality — and can recommend practical improvements or handle implementation.

Ready to Start a Project?

Whether you’ve got a full brief ready to go or just want to talk through an idea — I’d love to hear from you. I work with agencies of all sizes to deliver clean, reliable WordPress solutions that clients love.
