Things people ask before we start.

Ongoing work is billed hourly or as a monthly retainer. Well-defined projects can be quoted at a fixed price. After a short call, I'll send you a clear estimate, and nothing starts until you've approved it.

Fair question, and one worth asking any developer before you hire them. I have an active, verified profile on Toptal, where less than 3% of applicants pass the vetting process. That profile includes my work history, client feedback, and a track record you can review independently before we even speak. If you still have doubts, a short intro call is enough to verify I'm a real person who knows what they're talking about, and to decide whether we're a good fit. I'd rather you feel confident before we start than uncertain after.

WordPress is my core, but custom WordPress development means writing real code: PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, CSS, REST APIs. I started my career building business systems in C#, .NET, and SQL, before moving to PHP and WordPress. I'm not configuring plugins; I'm engineering solutions from scratch. That foundation means I can take on projects that go beyond WordPress when the situation calls for it: Laravel backends, custom PHP systems, API integrations with external platforms. I've done it. I just won't tell you I can build anything. What I can tell you is that if your project is rooted in WordPress or PHP, I can handle more than most developers you'll talk to.

Mostly marketing agencies that need a senior developer they can trust with complex work, someone who doesn't need hand-holding and won't disappear. And startups that need something built properly the first time, not patched together and rebuilt six months later. If you have a real problem that needs real engineering, we'll probably work well together.

Yes. I work in English and Spanish, so I can join Spanish-speaking teams, or talk directly with your clients in Spanish when a project needs it.

Yes. Several teams I've worked with build on Beaver Builder, and I've built custom Beaver Builder modules for client sites, plus two open-source Beaver Builder plugins. I've also worked with Elementor. I work inside your existing stack instead of asking you to change it. If you're starting something new and want my opinion, I'll walk you through the tradeoffs between a page builder and the block editor, and you decide what fits your team.

Both. I work from Figma files, design systems, or rough wireframes. If you don't have designs yet, I can help you find the right designer or work from functional wireframes to get started. I don't need everything perfect to begin, just clear on what the goal is.

You own it completely. Everything ships with documentation covering what was built and how to extend it. Your team, your next developer, or any agency can pick it up without calling me. That said, most clients do keep me on for ongoing work, not because they have to, but because continuity has value.
