Bio

Hi, I’m Rik Lewis, and I’ve been a professional web developer since 2005, working for more than 15 years on rich internet web applications, with primary focus on performance, security and accessibility. In that time I’ve dabbled in many languages and frameworks, but mostly I’ve worked with Uniface and PHP on the server side and javascript/jQuery on the front end, with HTML and CSS.

More recently I’ve been very heavily into WordPress, creating my own custom themes or working with page builders such as Elementor, Divi and WPBakery. I also create my own plugins and have submitted a number to the repository (as well as some private custom ones).
