Full Stack Engineer / It Lion
Custom WordPress websites built to each client’s specification, from structure and content through to how the site is presented.
01
I built custom WordPress websites around what each client actually needed. The site’s structure, the way content was organized, and how it was presented followed the specification instead of a generic template dropped in and lightly restyled. The job was the whole site: understand the brief, build it, and leave the client with something they could use.
02
The role was full stack, so the work did not stop at a theme. Pages, content, and the behavior the client asked for were delivered together. Each site was its own small product: scoped to that client, finished to their requirements, and handed over as a working website rather than a partial front end.
03
Each site was organized around the brief: how pages were structured, how content was grouped, and how it was presented. The layout and the content model were part of the same job, so the site read the way the client had asked for it to read.
04
Client requirements set the scope. Where a stock layout would have missed the brief, the site was adapted — pages, sections, and the behavior they needed — instead of forcing the specification into a generic theme.
05
Delivery meant a working website, not a partial front end. Content was in place, the pages held together, and the client could take the site and use it. The handoff was the finished site matched to what they had specified.
