Custom Theme Development
Custom WordPress themes built around your content, brand, and workflow — not forced into a generic website builder.
WordPress Development
Custom WordPress websites built for real organizations
I specialize in custom WordPress development, especially clean, modular custom themes that are easy for non-technical website administrators to manage.
WordPress without the usual WordPress mess
A good WordPress site should be flexible for your team, stable for your business, and clean enough to maintain long after launch.
My approach is to build custom WordPress themes with modular page sections, minimal plugin dependency, accessibility-conscious markup, responsive layouts, and an admin experience that makes sense to the people updating the site.

What I focus on
A practical, maintainable WordPress build
Modular Page Editing
Create, edit, reorder, and remove pre-designed content modules without touching HTML or CSS.
Minimal Plugin Dependency
Built with the least practical reliance on plugins and no dependency on page builders or theme builders.
Responsive Testing
Tested across Android phones, iPhones, tablets, iPads, laptops, MacBooks, and desktop screens.
Cross-Browser Friendly
Tested across Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, and Opera for a consistent user experience.
Security-Conscious Build
Special care is taken to reduce avoidable risks, harden the site, and discourage common malicious attacks.

Accessibility
AODA-conscious WordPress development
For Ontario organizations, accessibility is not just a design preference. Public-sector organizations and private or non-profit organizations with 50+ employees are expected to meet AODA website accessibility requirements. The legal technical standard currently references WCAG 2.0 Level AA, with newer WCAG versions often used as a stronger modern benchmark.
When developing a new WordPress site, I pay attention to semantic HTML, heading structure, keyboard usability, colour contrast, form labels, alt text practices, focus states, and responsive behaviour.
How it works
A development process built around clarity
01
Plan the structure
We clarify the pages, modules, content types, admin needs, accessibility requirements, and launch goals.
02
Build the theme
I develop the custom WordPress theme, templates, modular sections, responsive layouts, and admin fields.
03
Test and refine
The site is reviewed across devices, browsers, screen sizes, content scenarios, and common editing workflows.
04
Launch and support
I help with deployment, fixes, technical cleanup, future improvements, and ongoing maintenance if needed.
