Hi, I’m Ed!
A Freelance

WordPress
& Front-End
Developer.

With over a decade of experience, I can lead projects or work seamlessly with your team to turn your designs into responsive, easy-to-manage and fully compatible front-end builds. And with a background in graphic design I can sympathetically convert your designs into a fully-working website.

Using all the functionality of WordPress, including custom themes and Gutenberg block-building, I can build you a website which is secure and easy to update.

Custom theme development.

Custom theme development.

WordPress may have plenty of templates to choose from. But I’ll build you an entire theme from scratch to meet your exact requirements. I’ll even work with you right from the design stage to ensure no time is wasted.

Add that extra sparkle with parallax scrolling events, fade-in/out elements and animated SVGs for real impact.

Gutenberg development.

When your client wants control of the website, it can be hard to keep designs and brand guidelines consistent. With the WordPress Gutenberg block-builder, I can create a set of custom-styled blocks that offer your clients the freedom to add to and edit their website without compromising on style.

Blocks can be anything from headers and simple text to accordions and even images. All of these can be styled, offering complete flexibility when building pages.

The Gutenberg block builder allows me to build sites for clients that don’t require a developer to make every amend. Give them complete control over content with the confidence that everything will look as you designed it.

Inner-blocks allow for content blocks to be nested within a container meaning that grid or column based layouts are a breeze. And by modifying core blocks, I can build the site with standardised blocks that ensure consistency both throughout the build and into the future.

Essential plugins only

When you think WordPress, the word plugins might be front and centre. There are a LOT of plugins. But using too many could bloat your client’s site and leave it vulnerable to attack.

With any WordPress project, I’ll work with you to understand which plugins can be used and any potential risks.

Fast, lightweight and secure.

Security and site speed are paramount when building sites for clients. By balancing minimal plugin use with browser caching, CSS/JS minifying and image compression, I can ensure maximum functionality with rapid loading times.

With a raft of security options, including update packages, two-factor login authentication and industry-leading plugins, I can help ensure any site built is secure and protected.

When we work together, I’ll ensure that each step of the project, whether it’s development, staging, production or deployment, is collaborative and version controlled.

By building a clear branching strategy and using tools like GitHub or BitBucket, we can ensure the project is always on time and on budget.
