I'm a freelance WordPress developer working with businesses across the UK, US and Europe. I bill hourly. I work long-term. No packages, no surprises. Most of my clients have been with me for years.
Custom WordPress builds in Elementor, designed around how your business actually works. I handle the full path from design translation to launch, including the customisation, the ACF fields, and the bits no one tells you about until you're three weeks in.
WooCommerce builds for B2C and B2B clients across the UK, US and Europe. Product catalogues, payment gateways, tax configuration, shipping logic. All set up properly so you're not fighting the platform six months in.
The work that doesn't fit neatly into a template. CRM hookups, payment platforms, booking systems, headless setups, custom plugins, and bespoke functionality. Usually the kind of work that's been sitting in your backlog because no one wanted to touch it.
Slow sites hurt rankings and conversions. I diagnose what's actually causing it (render-blocking scripts, unoptimised assets, plugin bloat, server config) and fix the things that move the needle. Real measurements before and after.
Updates, backups, security monitoring, and a person who picks up when something breaks. For clients who'd rather get on with their business than learn what a PHP error means.
I'm Marc, a WordPress developer based in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, originally from Cape Town. I've been building for the web since 2013 and freelancing full-time since 2017, specialising in custom WordPress development for solopreneurs, tech companies, and non-profits. These days I work remotely with clients across the UK, US and Europe.
Most of my clients stick around for years. A few have been with me for over a decade. That's not an accident. I care about the work, I care about the people behind it, and I'd rather build something that genuinely fits your business than something generic. A website should feel like yours, not like a template someone dressed up.
When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me behind a drum kit in a punk band or logging kilometres on a run. Both reward the same things good development does: showing up regularly, staying patient, and refining the small stuff until it clicks. I bring that same mindset to every project, whether it's a fresh build, a rescue job, or ongoing work on a site we've been nurturing together for years.
If you're after someone who'll take the time to understand what you're doing, we'll probably get along.
