Hi, I'm Klevis
I've spent 15 years building WordPress websites that work. I take your designs and turn them into fast, functional sites that people can actually use. My work includes converting Figma mockups to WordPress themes, fixing slow e-commerce sites, and building custom functionality. I make sure every site loads quickly, ranks well in search engines, and works for users with disabilities. I've worked with startups and large companies, led remote development teams, and handled projects across different time zones. When clients see their sites finally perform the way they need them to, that's what makes the work worthwhile. If you need a WordPress site built right, or want to fix problems with your current one, I can help.
