My story
My WordPress experience
I started out designing websites and quickly ended up spending most of my time inside WordPress. It is flexible enough for almost any small business, and it gives the owner real control over their own site once it is live.
Over the last two-plus years I have built more than 80 WordPress websites. A lot of them are for local service businesses in the United States: auto detailers, pressure washing companies, roofers, landscapers, restoration companies, restaurants and care providers. That kind of work teaches you fast what a website actually needs to do. People land on the page, usually on a phone, and they want to know three things: what you do, where you do it, and how to get in touch.
Building those sites is also how I got into SEO. A website that nobody finds does not help anyone, so I began building every project with search in mind: a clear page structure, proper headings, useful metadata, internal links and pages that load quickly. Today my work sits where design, WordPress development and SEO foundations meet.
I keep my stack deliberately simple. I build with Elementor, Gutenberg, WooCommerce and well-supported plugins rather than custom-coded themes, so the sites I hand over are easy to edit and easy for anyone to maintain later.
How I work
What you can expect from me
Business goals first
Before any design work I want to know who your customers are and what you want them to do on the site.
Clear communication
You will always know what I am working on, what I need from you and what comes next.
Honest scope
If something is outside what I do well, I will tell you instead of stretching the truth.
You own and control it
Your site, your content and your logins. Everything is built so you can manage it without me.
Skills
Skills and tools
WordPress is my main focus. The other platforms are there because clients sometimes come to me with a site built elsewhere, and it helps to understand where they are coming from.

Location
Based in the Philippines, working worldwide
I work remotely from the Philippines with clients in other countries, and most of my projects so far have been for businesses in the United States. I am happy to work with businesses and agencies in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and anywhere else English is the working language.
Time zones are rarely a problem. Written updates, preview links and scheduled calls keep projects moving while you are asleep.
