- Build and customize page-builder layouts in Elementor and WPBakery, including reusable sections, custom widgets, and builder-compatible templates aligned to approved designs.
- Develop and maintain WooCommerce stores: product, cart, and checkout template overrides, custom product layouts, shipping and payment gateway configuration, and order-flow troubleshooting.
- Convert Figma and PSD designs into pixel-accurate, fully responsive interfaces with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap, and add AJAX-driven filters, load-more listings, and form submissions that update content without full page reloads.
- Diagnose and resolve production issues across WordPress sites - plugin and theme conflicts, PHP errors, broken migrations, layout regressions, and update failures - using debug logs, staging environments, and browser developer tools.
- Optimize site performance and Core Web Vitals through image and asset optimization, script deferral and minification, caching, database and plugin cleanup, and code refactoring, improving load times on client sites.
- Deliver SEO-friendly development with semantic HTML, clean heading structure, optimized metadata, and technical SEO fixes coordinated with marketing stakeholders.
