Kaspian delivered exactly what was promised - fast, clean, and professional. He diagnosed the issues quickly, fixed everything on a duplicate theme without touching the live store, and even caught an additional issue outside of scope and resolved it proactively. Great communication throughout and turned it around in under 48 hours. Would absolutely work with him again.
Kas is a great freelancer. He's dependable, attention to detail orientated and a great communicator. He's available when you need him and he's someone who's trustworthy and hardworking. Thanks for the great work, Kas!
// wordpress work
WordPress development services I take on.
Each one comes from real client work. Most of those sites are under NDA, so you get the work, not the names.
Fixes and new features
Forms, galleries, page layouts and plugin conflicts, fixed at the cause and tested on a copy of your site first.
Multi-step quote form file uploads and routed emails
Speed and Core Web Vitals
I find what actually slows the site down, from heavy images to plugins loading on every page, and remove it instead of adding another speed plugin.
100 accessibility score on my latest build
Technical SEO
Redirects, sitemaps, real 404s, heading order and structured data, so Google crawls the pages you care about and nothing else.
Real 404s restored on empty blog pages
WooCommerce stores
Product imports from spreadsheets, including variable products, bulk SEO fields across the catalog, and a clean move to Shopify when the store outgrows its plugins.
1,110 meta descriptions imported into one WooCommerce store
Migrations and domain moves
Blogs, pages and media moved with their dates and SEO data intact, links repointed, and a tested way back before anything goes live.
Full blog moved via the REST API, piloted first
// wordpress or shopify
Keep WordPress, move to Shopify, or run both?
I build on both, so I don't need you to pick the one I sell. This is how I'd decide.
Content and leads
Keep WordPress
Your site's job is to explain what you do and bring in enquiries, and you sell little or nothing online. WordPress is the right tool. I'll make it faster and easier to edit.
What I fix on WordPressYou sell online
Move to Shopify
Your store runs on WooCommerce and plugins, hosting and updates eat your week. Shopify takes that work away. I map every old URL to its new page, so Google and your customers land in the right place.
How the move worksContent plus a store
Run both
Keep WordPress for your blog and service pages, put the store on Shopify. It's a common setup, and I build on both sides.
WooCommerce vs Shopify// before you hire
What to ask any WordPress developer before you hire. My answers.
Ask these to anyone you're considering, me included. A good developer answers each one in a sentence.
- Will you work on my live site?
- No. I build and test on a copy, and the live site only changes on launch day, with a written checklist.
- What if something goes wrong?
- I take a backup before every change and plan the way back first. My last blog move was piloted on a few posts with a one step revert.
- Who owns the site and the logins?
- You do. Domain, hosting and admin stay in your name. I work from my own user account, which you can remove when we're done.
- Will you add a pile of plugins?
- No. I build on WordPress core first. On my last launch I removed the hosting company's extra plugins instead of adding more.
// how it works
From first call to launch, without touching your live site.
Your live site is never the test bench. Nothing goes live until you've seen it working.

WordPress consultant FAQ
How much does it cost to hire you as a WordPress developer?
I charge $50 an hour and quote in hours before any work starts, so you know the total up front. A full site from finished designs is scoped page by page once I’ve seen the designs.
Do you only work on Shopify?
No. Most of my work is on Shopify, and I also build and fix WordPress and Magento 2 sites. My latest WordPress build was a custom block theme from Canva designs that scores 98 on mobile PageSpeed.
Can you turn my Canva or Figma design into a WordPress site?
Yes. I build it as a custom block theme on WordPress core blocks, so you edit every page in the normal WordPress editor. If your design only covers desktop, I design the phone and tablet layouts too.
Do you use page builders like Elementor?
Not for new builds. I build on WordPress core blocks, which keeps pages fast and means you don’t depend on a builder license. I can still fix layouts and bugs on an existing site.
Do you work as a WooCommerce developer?
Yes. I’ve imported WooCommerce catalogs from spreadsheets, including variable products, and loaded SEO fields in bulk, such as 1,110 meta descriptions in one store. When a store has outgrown its plugins, I also move it to Shopify, as my WooCommerce to Shopify migration guide shows.
Should I move my WooCommerce store to Shopify?
It depends on whether you mainly sell or mainly publish. I compare the real monthly costs and speed data in my WooCommerce vs Shopify guide, and I’ll give you a straight answer for your store on a free call.
Will moving from WordPress to Shopify hurt my Google rankings?
Not if every old URL gets a 301 redirect to its new page before the old site goes offline. Shopify’s URL structure is fixed, so I map the redirects by hand from a full crawl and your Search Console data.
Can you work with my hosting company?
Yes. With SSH access I work through WP-CLI, which is faster and safer for bulk changes. Without it, I work through the WordPress admin and your hosting panel.
