A cosmetics shop rebuilt from scratch after the old one went dark
The brand's hosted store went offline. I rebuilt the shop on WooCommerce with a German-law checkout and brought back its old links and reviews.

WordPress & WooCommerce
Custom themes from Figma, Gutenberg blocks, shops and multilingual sites. Your team can edit them without me.
Most of my eight years are WordPress: marketing sites, corporate sites in several languages, publishers with thousands of pages, and WooCommerce shops. Usually I’m the only developer on the project. So I take it from the design file to the live site, and I stay after the launch.
What I build
- Themes and block themes from Figma. Native Gutenberg blocks in React and PHP, or ACF page modules. Whatever fits the way your team edits.
- WooCommerce shops. Catalogue, checkout, PDF invoices, shipping and tax rules, imports from a supplier or from an old shop.
- Multilingual sites. WPML set up so a new language only needs a translator.
- Plugins. For the one feature no plugin on the market does the way you need it.
How it goes
First I look at the site or the design and write down what I found, what I’d do and what it will take. Then I build on a staging copy you can click through. Production changes only when you say so.
Result
What you get
-
A site your team can run
Your editors fill in blocks and page modules. If it helps, I record a short video for each thing they need to change.
-
A shop that sells across borders
Checkout and invoices set up the way your market needs them: German legal checkout, intra-EU VAT, net prices for B2B.
-
Code that survives updates
My code lives in a child theme or its own plugin. A theme or core update does not wipe it.
In practice
Where I did this: 48 clients
A Gutenberg block theme for a machine builder, in German and English
I turned a Figma design into custom Gutenberg blocks and ten pages in German and English, ready for the agency's QA.
Veterinary pharma group: three years across its seven WordPress sites
Since 2023 I've built page modules, campaigns, an event calendar, new sections and a group-wide typography change across a vet pharma group's seven WordPress sites.
EU VAT rules, PDF invoices and free shipping for a WooCommerce shop
Business buyers from other EU countries now see the right tax note at checkout and on the invoice, and my custom work survives theme updates.
Page builder check, plugin cleanup and updates for a trade-fair equipment catalogue
The page editor looked broken after the old page builder disappeared. I checked the whole site, removed the plugins it no longer needed and updated the rest, without touching the hand-patched parts of the shop.
ExpertSure & Ecopreneurist: WordPress sites, plugins and a store
Since 2023 I've been the developer of a UK publisher's comparison sites: merged installs, custom plugins, fixes and a domain store.
A holiday-rental site made fast and fixed on iPad
On iPad the main photo was missing and the home page weighed 13 MB. I found both causes, brought the page down to about 2 MB and removed the need for a cookie banner.
A manufacturer's old WordPress site, new TYPO3 site and domain move
I looked after a metalworking company's old WordPress site, filled and tested its new TYPO3 site, and moved the domain to the new site with the mail intact.
FAQ
What clients ask me
Which builders and themes do you work with?
Block themes and custom Gutenberg blocks first. I also build and take over sites on Elementor Pro, WPBakery, Bricks, Avada and Flatsome. Custom themes I build from a Figma or XD design.
Can you do a multilingual site?
Yes, with WPML. The biggest so far is a corporate site with 160 pages in three languages. Translators work in the admin and never touch the code.
Which hours do you work?
Your working hours. My clock is one hour ahead of Central Europe. You get a staging site to click through and short written updates, and a call when a decision needs one.
Jobs start at €100. For a site I don't know yet, a Site check is €100, and it counts toward the work.
