What makes a good WordPress frontend developer
Most WordPress "developers" stop at dragging Elementor widgets into place. A proper frontend developer can read a Figma file, hand-code the layout in HTML/CSS/JS, build custom Elementor widgets in PHP when the defaults fall short, and ship a site that’s pixel-perfect, accessible and fast.
That’s the level I bring. 5+ years deep in WordPress, but with the frontend chops of someone who codes from scratch.
Frontend services I offer
- Figma → WordPress conversion (pixel-perfect)
- Custom WordPress themes from scratch
- Custom Elementor widgets in PHP
- ACF + Custom Post Types
- Responsive design (mobile-first, cross-browser tested)
- Animations and micro-interactions (GSAP, Framer Motion, Lottie)
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)
- Performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse 90+)
The stack I work with
HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), jQuery, Bootstrap 5, Tailwind, SCSS, ACF, Gutenberg Blocks, Elementor (theme builder + custom widgets), Divi, Thrive Architect, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, WPBakery.
When you need a frontend specialist
If you’ve got designs that templates can’t pull off, animations that page builders won’t handle cleanly, or a site that needs to feel premium — you need a frontend developer, not a "WordPress guy."
Frequently asked questions
Can you convert a Figma design to WordPress?
Yes — pixel-perfect Figma-to-WordPress conversion is one of my core services. I work with Elementor, Divi or custom themes depending on what suits the build.
Do you build custom WordPress themes?
Yes — from scratch, with proper template hierarchy, ACF integration, and Gutenberg block support. Useful when you need long-term maintainability and full control.
Can you add animations to a WordPress site?
Yes — GSAP for complex sequences, Framer Motion-style transitions via vanilla JS, Lottie for designer animations, and CSS keyframes for subtler effects.
What page builders do you specialize in?
Elementor and Divi are my strongest. I also work fluently in Thrive Architect, Beaver Builder, Oxygen and WPBakery.
Is your frontend code accessibility-compliant?
Yes — I build to WCAG 2.1 AA where the project allows. Includes proper heading hierarchy, ARIA where needed, keyboard navigation and color contrast checking.
