A lot of WordPress website get split between a designer who can't touch code and a developer who can't design. I do both: I design and I develop. Your site gets a professional design and clean, fast code underneath. And when something breaks at code level, I fix it myself, PHP included, instead of sending you elsewhere.
Design and code, one person: no gaps between how it looks and how it works
SEO-ready foundations: clean structure, metadata, schema, indexable from day one
Fast by default: optimised images, lean code, tested against Core Web Vitals
Built to hand over: easy for you to update, with training included

Custom WordPress websites
A complete WordPress site built for your business: structure, design, development and launch. Elementor or custom builds, WooCommerce if you're selling, booking systems if you take appointments. You get a fast, professional site on a platform you can grow with, plus training so you can manage it yourself.
WordPress fixes and rescue
Broken layout after an update? Plugin conflict nobody can find? Developer disappeared mid-project? I take over WordPress sites in any state, diagnose what's wrong, and fix it at code level, theme files and PHP included. You get a working site and an honest report of what was fixed, in plain English.
WordPress speed optimisation
A slow WordPress site costs you visitors and rankings. I optimise at every layer: images, caching, code, database and hosting setup, measured against Google's Core Web Vitals before and after. You see the numbers, not just a promise that it "feels faster".
Fast WordPress sites that meet Google's performance standards
WordPress has a reputation for being slow. It doesn't have to be. A slow WordPress site is almost always a fixable one: bloated themes, unoptimised images, too many plugins doing too little. Every site I build or optimise is tested against Google's Core Web Vitals: lean page builder setups, compressed images, proper caching, clean code. You get the numbers before and after, not just a site that "feels faster".

See my work in action
Every project here is a real WordPress site, built or rebuilt for a real business, live and working today.
Solecare Podiatry:
Brand Identity & Website for a New Practice
A new podiatry practice needing a brand and a website that works as hard as the clinic does. Built on WordPress: custom service pages, booking integration, and technical fixes at code level, including PHP work the original theme needed to get the structure right.
Hello Parents:
A maternal and child health professionals directory
My own platform: an Australian directory connecting families with maternal and child health professionals. Built and run by me on WordPress: directory functionality, member profiles, email automation, and everything that comes with operating a real WordPress site every day.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
A custom WordPress build typically comes in under $4,000 AUD, with smaller jobs like fixes and speed work quoted individually from $500. Every project gets a fixed quote upfront, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Can you fix my existing WordPress site?
Yes, that's a core service. Broken layouts, plugin conflicts, theme errors, half-finished projects from a previous developer: I work at code level, so I can usually rescue sites others have given up on. Send me the site and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing or better rebuilt.
Do you work with Elementor and other page builders?
Yes. I work with Elementor regularly, and I can take on sites built with other builders and themes. If your current setup is the reason the site is slow, I'll tell you and show you the options.
WordPress or Framer, which do I need?
WordPress suits businesses that need flexibility: blogs, bookings, e-commerce, directories. Framer suits design-forward marketing sites with minimal upkeep. I build on both, so my recommendation follows your goals, not my preference.
Do you offer ongoing WordPress maintenance?
Yes. Updates, backups, security and small changes handled for you, plus managed hosting if you want everything under one roof. Your site and domain always stay in your name.
What if I'm not in Brisbane?
No problem, I work with clients across Australia. Everything runs remotely: video calls, staged previews, and a proper handover when we launch.
