WordPress Developer in London, United Kingdom

Discover Healing needed immediate and urgent performance optimizations to both the back end and front end of their WordPress installation.
The back end would regularly take over 60 seconds for pages to load, making admin a terrible chore. The front end was averaging around 13 seconds for a pageload, despite caching. Previous developers had been unable to resolve the issues.
⇢ I was able to diagnose and fix hard-to-find issues with rogue plugins
⇢ I was able to improve the front-end load time by 60%, despite the requirement to stick with a heavy theme and third party tags
⇢ I wrote custom code to improve their user permissions
⇢ I wrote custom code to streamline the WooCommerce My Account system (including easy custom avatars)

The Creation Station needed mentoring, branding and design, web design, web development, third-party vendor integration, and project management.

I helped them to create a new product to add to their offering, whilst assisting them to streamline their current business.

⇢ I designed the website for the new product offering
⇢ I designed the technical architecture for an enterprise-level franchise management system
⇢ I co-developed the franchise management system
⇢ I integrated the system with various third-party providers
⇢ I streamlined aspects of their current email marketing automation
⇢ I trained their staff and created documentation

Clear Factor needed mentoring, branding and design, web design, web development, and security set up and monitoring.

I helped them to create a slick, well-targeted brand for their company and establish their web presence. Security is very important for Clear Factor, and I ensured their hosting setup was secure and monitored with a custom WordPress plugin to deploy website changes to a CDN.

⇢ I designed their logo and branding
⇢ Created a custom WordPress plugin to deploy to secure hosting
⇢ I co-produced and edited their intro video
⇢ I created their pre-launch landing page
⇢ I project managed their launch website with other developers
⇢ I designed their documents (their Lightpaper and Whitepaper)
⇢ I set up their email marketing (Amazon SES, Email Octopus)

Powerleague needed mentoring, web design, web development, analytics, optimization, and third-party vendor integration.

I helped them over many years as a tech lead, marketer, developer, and designer.

⇢ I was the lead Powerplay developer for many years, handing front-end design and back-end dev using the Code Igniter Framework. This was a very complex system used to power the entire business. I handled the code evolution over many years, including PHP upgrades.

⇢ I project managed the relaunch of the Powerleague website in 2016
⇢ I handled paid traffic (Adwords, Facebook) and email marketing (Dotmailer and Campaign Monitor) for the whole group in 2017/2018
