Custom WordPress Development for Seattle Businesses

I help Seattle businesses build, customize, and repair WordPress sites that need more than a generic theme and a pile of plugins. Themes, plugins, WooCommerce, performance work, and hard technical fixes handled by a senior developer.

Why a Seattle WordPress Developer?

If you are searching for a Seattle WordPress developer, you probably do not need a generic brochure site. You need someone who can work through real business constraints: legacy code, plugin conflicts, custom functionality, performance issues, content workflow problems, or e-commerce requirements.

I have been building with WordPress for more than a decade. That includes custom themes, custom plugins, WooCommerce builds, and modern headless implementations when WordPress is better as a CMS than as the full stack.

What You Can Hire Me For

  • Custom WordPress theme development
  • WordPress plugin development and integrations
  • WooCommerce customization and performance work
  • Headless WordPress with React or Next.js
  • Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals improvements
  • Refactoring fragile legacy WordPress codebases

Local-intent WordPress help without the agency handoff chain

Custom WordPress Themes

Custom themes built for speed, maintainability, and clean editing workflows. No bloated templates or page-builder lock-in.

WordPress Plugin Development

Custom plugins for business workflows, third-party integrations, membership logic, admin tools, and functionality you cannot buy off the shelf.

WooCommerce Development

Storefront customization, checkout improvements, performance tuning, subscription flows, and custom commerce features for growing online stores.

Performance Optimization

Faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals, leaner themes, image and asset optimization, and practical fixes for slow WordPress sites.

Headless WordPress

Use WordPress for content and a modern frontend for speed and flexibility. Ideal when traditional themes start holding back product or marketing goals.

Maintenance and Refactoring

Clean up fragile code, replace plugin sprawl, stabilize legacy builds, and make a WordPress codebase easier to support long term.

Common Reasons Clients Reach Out

Search intent is usually not “build me a website.” It is one of these.

Marketing sites that feel slow or outdated

When your site is technically live but painful to update, slow to load, or hard to extend, custom WordPress work can remove the drag without a full rebuild.

WooCommerce stores that need custom behavior

Off-the-shelf WooCommerce setups break down fast when you need custom pricing, subscriptions, checkout rules, ERP integrations, or account workflows.

Plugin-heavy sites with maintenance risk

If your site depends on a fragile stack of plugins and custom snippets, I can consolidate the logic into code that is easier to understand and maintain.

Seattle businesses that need direct technical help

If you want to work directly with a senior developer in Seattle instead of getting routed through an agency account team, I can step in quickly and own the implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with Seattle businesses only?

No. I work remotely with clients in many places, but I am based in the Seattle area and especially easy to work with for businesses in Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and across Puget Sound.

What kinds of WordPress projects do you take on?

Custom themes, plugin development, WooCommerce customization, performance optimization, headless WordPress migrations, legacy cleanups, and technical consulting around difficult WordPress codebases.

Can you help if our current WordPress site is messy?

Yes. A lot of my best work starts with a site that has accumulated too many plugins, custom snippets, one-off fixes, and unclear ownership. I can audit what is there, stabilize it, and recommend the fastest path forward.

Do you build with page builders?

I can work within Elementor, Divi, or similar tools when a project requires it, but I generally prefer cleaner approaches that improve performance and reduce lock-in. The right choice depends on your team, budget, and long-term goals.

Can you help with WooCommerce SEO and speed?

Yes. Technical SEO and performance are common reasons people hire me for WordPress and WooCommerce work. Faster templates, cleaner markup, structured data, image optimization, and plugin cleanup often move the needle quickly.

Need a Seattle WordPress Developer?

Tell me what is broken, slow, hard to maintain, or missing. I will help you figure out whether the right move is a custom theme, a plugin, a WooCommerce fix, a headless migration, or a smaller targeted cleanup.
