I’ve been building WordPress sites for 15+ years, mostly as a subcontractor to digital agencies in the UK and US. The work I take on tends to be the bespoke end of WordPress: Figma designs turned into fully-custom themes, custom JavaScript where the design calls for it, ACF used properly (flex content, custom blocks), and custom WooCommerce. Comfortable on the command line.
How a project runs is up to the agency. I’ll join your Slack or stay on email, attend meetings or skip them, charge a day rate or quote per project. What I ask for is a clear brief and then the room to get on with it.
I’m increasingly drawn to headless WordPress and AI-integrated work, including RAG patterns. The market is moving that way, and it fits how I like to build front-ends in the first place.
