WordPress developer in Phoenix.
What a WordPress developer actually does.
Three different jobs get sold under one title, and they cost different amounts.
Building is the first one. Someone designs the pages, writes them into WordPress, and hands you a site with a login.
Keeping it running is the second, and it is where most small business sites fall over. WordPress ships a security update every few weeks. Your theme updates. Your ten or twelve plugins each update on their own schedule. Nobody watches, and then a page stops loading on a Tuesday.
Fixing one thing is the third. A broken form, a failed update, a site nobody has touched since 2021. No plan and no subscription, one invoice.
I do all three, here in Phoenix. If you are not sure which one you need, the free audit tells you.
What I build
A new WordPress site
WordPress and Elementor. About 3 to 5 weeks for a five page site, and you see a demo before it goes live.
A redesign or rebuild
Your site works. It looks like 2019. You stay on WordPress, the design gets rebuilt from scratch, and your pages and content come with you.
A landing page
One page with one job. 1 to 2 weeks, offer and copy included.
What happens after launch
Monthly care plans
Updates tested first, backups kept at your host, security scanning, uptime monitoring, and hosting included. From $99 a month.

Page speed
Unoptimized images, a bloated plugin list, no caching, and a theme loading things your pages never use. I configure LiteSpeed and a CDN, clean up the rest, then test on mobile and desktop.
One time fixes
A broken form, a failed update, a site nobody has touched since 2021. No plan and no subscription. Email me what's wrong and I'll quote it.
Working with me in Phoenix
Work with me directly
Your form breaks on a Tuesday, you email me, and I answer. There is no ticket queue and nobody sitting between you and the fix.
Phoenix and the East Valley
Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Gilbert. I work with clients outside Arizona too, because most of the work happens over email and a screen share.
What it costs
A five page site runs 3 to 5 weeks and gets quoted before anything starts. Care runs $99, $249 or $499 a month. Without a plan, urgent fixes are billed by the hour at $150 to $200.
What I don't do
No Shopify, Wix, or Weebly
WordPress and Elementor are what I build on, and custom code around Elementor is part of the job. Builds on other platforms are not something I take on, and you'll know before you pay me.
No ranking or traffic guarantees
Nobody controls where Google puts you. What I control is the work behind a ranking: proper titles and headings, internal links, clean markup, and pages fast enough to compete on a phone.
Not a 24 hour help desk
Break something on a business day and you hear back the same day. Break it at 11pm on a Saturday and you hear back next business day. I'd rather set the expectation now than apologize for it later.
FAQs.
Do you work on sites you did not build?
Yes, and most of my clients came to me that way. I go through the site first, so we both know what shape it is in before you commit to anything.
Do I have to move my hosting?
No. Move your site over and there's no separate hosting bill. Stay where you are and I deal with your host instead.
How long does a new site take?
About 3 to 5 weeks for a five page site, and 1 to 2 weeks for a single landing page. You get a quote before anything starts.
Do you work outside Phoenix?
Yes. I serve Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Ahwatukee, Anthem, New River and Queen Creek, and clients outside the Valley are welcome too.
Who does the work?
I do, start to finish. Some jobs need outside help, and when one does I bring in a specialist and I tell you.
What if I only need one thing fixed?
Email me what's wrong and I'll quote it. You are not on a plan afterward unless you want to be.
