WordPress website design and development

A good WordPress website should feel simple from both sides: easy for your customers to use, and easy for you to update. Unfortunately, many WordPress sites are slow and fragile, because they’re built on heavy themes with dozens of plugins. I take a cleaner approach, so your site stays fast and easy to look after for years.

What you get#

• A custom design in Figma for desktop and mobile, which you approve before I build anything.
• A lightweight build with only the plugins you actually need.
• Editing that suits you: simple fields for text and images, or Elementor if you like to edit visually.
• Speed tuning: compressed images, caching and tuned Core Web Vitals.
• On-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, structured data and a sitemap from day one.
• A walkthrough at handover, so you can run the site yourself.

Custom WordPress or Elementor?#

Both work well, and the right choice depends on how you like to work.

	Custom WordPress	Elementor
How you edit	Simple fields for text, images and lists	Drag and drop, right on the page
Speed	The fastest option, with very little extra code	Fast, with a little more code on each page
Best for	Sites that should stay on-brand, whoever edits them	People who like to change layouts themselves

Not sure? Tell me how you plan to update the site, and I’ll recommend one.

Already have a WordPress site?#

If your current site is slow, hard to edit or looks dated, a website redesign often works better than starting from scratch. I can also take over an existing site to update plugins, fix problems and speed it up.

A WordPress developer for clients worldwide#

I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, and I work with clients in Australia, the US, the UK and around the world. Because everything runs through Fiverr, your time zone doesn’t matter: messages, files and payments stay in one place, and payment is only released to me when your order is complete.

Do you already have a design? Then see Figma to WordPress. Starting from nothing? My small business website packages are a good place to begin.

Common questions#

Which hosting should I use for WordPress?#

Choose a host with fast servers close to your customers and built-in caching. I’m happy to recommend options, and I’ll set the site up on your own account.

Will I need to pay for plugins?#

Usually only a few, if any. I use free, well-supported plugins where possible, and I’ll tell you up front if a paid one (such as Elementor Pro) is worth it for your site.

Can you fix or update my existing WordPress site?#

Yes. I can update plugins and themes, fix errors and broken layouts, and speed up slow pages. Send me the link on Fiverr, and I’ll take a look.
