WordPress web design
WordPress is a good fit for content-led sites when it is built lean. It is a bad fit when it is 40 plugins deep.
Page builders and plugin sprawl turn a simple site into a slow, insecure maintenance liability.
How we work together.
Whether WordPress is right for the project.
Custom theme and only the plugins you need.
Security, backups and update policy.
Training and documentation for your team.
Outcomes & Stack
Common questions.
Can you rescue a slow WordPress site?
Yes. An audit usually finds a handful of plugins and images causing most of the damage.
Should we move off WordPress?
Sometimes. I will tell you plainly, including when staying put is the cheaper answer.
Can you work with an existing theme instead of building new?
Yes, where the existing theme is solid I extend it rather than replace it unnecessarily.
Do you build custom Gutenberg blocks?
Yes, where the editor experience needs it beyond standard blocks.
Can you take over maintenance of a site another developer built?
Yes, after an initial audit to understand what is actually running under the hood.
Why hire a freelancer for wordpress web design instead of an agency?
You work directly with the person doing the work. There are no account managers, no hand-offs between departments and no agency overheads built into the quote, so decisions are faster and budgets go further.
Do you work with clients outside South Africa?
Yes. I work remotely with businesses across South Africa and internationally, with clear written scopes, regular progress updates and a staging link you can review at any time.
How do I get a quote?
Send a short brief through the contact page describing your goals, timeline and any existing systems. You will get a written scope and fixed quote before any work starts.
