Custom WordPress Development That Puts Performance First

When it comes to building a website that ranks, loads fast, and actually converts visitors into customers, WordPress is a no-brainer. But not all WordPress sites are created equal. I develop custom WordPress websites that are lightweight, easy to manage, and optimized for SEO from the ground up—no page builders, no bloated themes, and no shortcuts.

Built for Speed, Security, and Scalability

Slow websites don’t just frustrate users—they kill conversions and tank your rankings. Every line of code I write serves a purpose. That means no unnecessary plugins, no bulky frameworks, and no features you’ll never use. Just a lean, powerful website tailored to your business.

  • Lightning-fast page loads using optimized code and modern caching techniques
  • Mobile-first, responsive design so your site looks and works great on all devices
  • Security-first development with clean code and minimal attack surfaces
  • Built-in SEO foundations including schema, meta tags, and crawlable structure

Custom Themes, Not Templates

I don’t resell pre-built themes. I build custom WordPress themes tailored to your brand and goals. Whether you need a single-page site or a more robust multi-page layout, I’ll design a structure that supports your content, reflects your identity, and scales as your business grows.

Client-Controlled, Not Developer-Dependent

Once your site is live, you shouldn’t need a developer to update content. I build intuitive admin interfaces using Gutenberg blocks or Advanced Custom Fields, so you can manage your site without touching a line of code. Want to update text, swap an image, or publish a blog post? It’s easy.

SEO-Friendly from the Start

WordPress is naturally SEO-friendly, but only if it’s set up correctly. I ensure your site follows best practices for on-page optimization, clean URL structures, and fast page speed—giving you a solid foundation for long-term search engine growth.

  • Semantic HTML5 structure
  • Optimized image handling (WebP, lazy loading, alt tags)
  • Yoast or Rank Math integration
  • Schema markup for rich snippets

Who I Work With

From solo service providers and local trades to startups and small agencies, I build sites for people who want results—not complexity. Whether you’re launching your first site or overhauling an old one, I’ll guide you through the process from concept to launch.

Why Work With Me?

I’ve been building WordPress sites since 2007. I write clean code, design with intent, and prioritize user experience and SEO equally. If you’re tired of bloated templates, slow page builders, or “devs” who ghost you after launch, I’m your guy.

  • 17+ years of WordPress experience
  • Performance-obsessed: Lighthouse 100 scores
  • Accessibility, UX, and mobile-first always baked in
  • Real results, not vague promises

“We’re getting more calls, more work”

Back in my day, all you needed was a handshake and a business card. But things have changed, and I was falling behind. Since I started working with Chris and using his Local Hero package, my business has a real presence online. We’re getting more calls, more work, and I don’t have to worry about any of the tech stuff. Chris has brought me into the 21st century, and business has never been better!

“I’m blown away by the difference!”

I’ll be honest, before Chris stepped in, our website was a bit of a dinosaur. Parents had a tough time finding us, and we were missing out on potential sign-ups. Now that we’re using his Local Hero package, the site is modern, easy to navigate, and we’re coming up at the top of search results. I’m blown away by the difference! It’s been a game-changer for us, and I can get back to doing what I love—coaching the next generation of soccer stars.
