Technical SEO & AI-ready WordPress Development Services
Why Work With Me?
30 Years of Web Development Experience
I’ve been building websites since 1995—before CSS was a thing. I’ve been solving technical problems ever since. You’re working with someone who truly understands how the web works.
True Custom Development (No Page Builders)
I’m one of the only developers in Raleigh offering genuine custom WordPress theme development. Every site is hand-coded for your specific needs—no shortcuts, no bloated plugins, no page builder limitations.
Performance & Accessibility First
Every site I build passes Core Web Vitals scores. Fast, accessible websites aren’t optional—they’re the foundation of good SEO and user experience.
Direct Access & Quick Turnarounds
You work directly with me from discovery through launch and beyond. No junior developers, no outsourcing, no middlemen. Just clear communication and expert execution.
Built for Long-Term Growth
I build websites that grow with your business. Clean code, thorough documentation, and strategic architecture mean your site will serve you well for years to come.
For Growing Companies Who Need Performance & Results
For 30 years, I’ve been building websites that work—fast, accessible, and built to last. If you’re tired of page builders that slow your site down, SEO issues you can’t fix, or a website that doesn’t reflect the quality of your business, you’re in the right place.
I specialize in custom WordPress development and technical SEO for mid-to-large companies with in-house marketing teams. Every site I build is hand-coded from scratch—no page builders, no pre-made themes, just clean, performant code that gives you complete control.
Whether you need a new custom WordPress site, want to migrate away from Elementor or Divi, or need ongoing technical SEO and performance optimization, I’ll help you build a website that drives real business results.
Core Services
Custom WordPress Development
Hand-coded WordPress sites built for performance, accessibility, and growth.
I don’t use page builders. Every website I create is a custom WordPress theme built from the ground up using PHP, HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript. This means faster load times, better SEO, complete design flexibility, and a site that won’t break when plugins update.
What’s included:
- Custom theme development tailored to your brand
- API integrations (CRM, marketing automation, payment systems)
- ADA/WCAG accessibility compliance
- Migration from page builders to custom code
- WordPress maintenance and ongoing support
Ideal for: Companies ready to invest in a professional, future-proof website that performs as well as it looks.
Contextual & Technical SEO
Strategic SEO that goes beyond keywords—built for long-term organic growth.
Technical SEO is the foundation of every successful website. I work with marketing teams to audit, optimize, and monitor the technical health of your site so you rank higher, load faster, and convert better.
What’s included:

Site Performance Optimization
Core Web Vitals optimization that delivers sub-2-second load times.
Site speed isn’t just a nice-to-have—it directly impacts your SEO rankings, user experience, and conversion rates. I optimize every aspect of your site’s performance to achieve perfect Core Web Vitals scores and lightning-fast load times.

AI-Ready Website Architecture
Future-proof your site for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
AI is changing how people search. To stay visible, your website needs to be structured so AI tools can understand, cite, and recommend your content. I build AI-ready websites using semantic HTML, comprehensive schema markup, and entity-based SEO strategies.
What’s included:
- Semantic HTML5 structure for AI comprehension
