/How I work

Six rules that ship
with every build.

None of these are extras on the invoice. They are the reason a site still holds up two years after handover.

01Speed

Performance budget

Every project starts with a number — usually 1.5s LCP on a mid-range phone — and every plugin has to earn its place under it.

02Build

Custom blocks over builder bloat

Repeating layouts become ACF or native blocks with real fields. Your editors get guardrails; your front end drops the 400 KB builder runtime.

03Move

Migration safety

Staged dry runs, redirect maps, enrolment and order data diffed before and after. Learners and customers never notice the switch.

04Docs

Handover docs

A short written manual plus a screen recording for each custom feature, so the next person — or your own team — is never guessing.

05Vitals

Core Web Vitals as a deliverable

Green field data in Search Console is part of the acceptance criteria, not a hope. I test on real devices, not only Lighthouse.

06Own

Your repo, not mine

Code lives in a Git repository you own from day one. Deploys are scripted, licences are in your name, and nothing depends on me staying around.
