WordPress & PHP Developer
Site down or stuck on a feature? I fix it and I build what’s missing.
18+ years of PHP experience, specialising in WordPress, WooCommerce and Laravel. I look at the problem first, tell you what I find in plain language, then fix it with clean, documented code.
What I do
From urgent repairs to custom-built features and full applications.
WordPress Emergency Fixes
Site down, 500/502/403 errors, white screens, database errors, SSL and redirect problems. Diagnosed from logs and fixed safely, with backups.
Plugin Conflicts & Upgrades
Theme and plugin conflicts, WordPress and PHP version upgrades, performance tuning and ongoing maintenance.
Custom Plugins & WooCommerce
Bespoke WordPress plugins and WooCommerce features: checkout, cart, shipping and pricing logic that off-the-shelf plugins can’t handle.
API Integrations
Payment gateways, CRMs, shipping providers and third-party REST APIs connected to your site or application.
Laravel & CodeIgniter Apps
Custom web applications, back-office tools and REST APIs, built end to end from requirements to deployment and support.
Database & Server Debugging
MySQL optimisation and VPS/Linux debugging for slow, unstable or misbehaving sites and applications.
How I work
Simple, transparent and no surprises.
You describe it
Send an error message, a link or a short brief. I’ll tell you what I think is wrong, free.
I investigate
I check logs, configuration and a staging copy first, never experimenting on your live site.
I explain & quote
You get the findings in plain language with a clear scope and price before work begins.
I fix & hand off
Clean, documented code, tested and deployed, with support after handoff.
Recent work

Web pages and tools that let a healthcare practice share patient instructions securely and clearly.
