FAQ
WordPress development — common questions
Can you work on an existing WordPress site?
Yes — that includes fixes, redesign work, performance improvements, plugin conflicts, new features and technical cleanup.
Do you only build from templates?
No — I can work with quality themes where sensible, but I also build custom functionality and cleaner bespoke implementations.
What do you need to quote?
Usually a link to the site and a short summary of what you need built, changed or fixed.
Ready to get started?
Tell me what you need. I’ll tell you what makes sense.
Website, ecommerce, CRM, automation or an existing site that needs improving — send the rough details and I’ll come back with the sensible next step.
