CMS & Website Platforms
Your website shouldn't require a developer to update. I build and customize CMS-driven websites on platforms like WordPress and Shopify so your team can publish content, manage products, and scale the site on their own — without giving up design quality or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use WordPress or Shopify?
It depends on the site. WordPress is a strong fit for content-heavy sites, blogs, and marketing websites. Shopify is built for selling products with reliable checkout and inventory. We'll match the platform to your goals in the discovery phase.
Can you build a site that's not a template?
Yes. Templates are a starting point at best. I build custom themes so the site reflects your brand and doesn't look like every other WordPress or Shopify site.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
That's the point. The content structure is designed so your team can update pages, publish posts, and manage products without writing code or contacting a developer.
Can you migrate my existing website to a CMS?
Yes. I can move your current site to WordPress or Shopify, preserve your URLs and rankings where possible, and set up the new editing experience.
Do you handle hosting and maintenance?
I can set up recommended hosting and provide ongoing maintenance including updates, backups, and security checks.
