Bio

Senior WordPress & WooCommerce Specialist and UX Designer with over 25 years of experience building high-performance, conversion-oriented digital platforms. Since 1999, I have operated under my solo digital agency, Unagui, helping businesses scale through fast, functional, and visually stunning web solutions.

While I have a strong background in engineering custom WordPress themes completely from scratch using clean PHP, HTML, and CSS, my current operational approach focuses on a highly efficient hybrid model. I leverage advanced visual frameworks like Elementor Pro and Divi to accelerate development timelines, which I then deeply customize and extend with custom code to bypass any technical limitations. This strategic workflow allows me to deliver beautiful, robust, and search-optimized websites rapidly, while granting my clients an intuitive, easily manageable backend. 

My background includes 7 years as a Creative Director leading design, development, and marketing teams, allowing me to bridge the gap between aesthetic excellence and strategic technical execution.

Current Job

Web Designer & Developer
Dec 1999 – Present
Unagui · Full-time
Since 1999, I have been the driving force behind Unagui, operating as a solo digital agency to deliver end-to-end web design, development, and optimisation services. With over 25 years of experience in the digital sector, I help businesses, brands, and entrepreneurs build robust, scalable, and conversion-oriented online platforms—completely eliminating agency middlemen to guarantee a direct, professional-to-professional workflow.

My technical journey began in the era of raw HTML and CSS, which gave me a rock-solid foundation in core coding. In 2009, I fully shifted my focus to specialise in the WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystems, becoming a strategic technical partner for projects that demand high customisation, premium UI/UX, and flawless performance.

Core Areas of Expertise:
· Custom Design & Development: Creating intuitive, fully responsive corporate websites and e-commerce stores (WooCommerce) tailored to align with business goals.
· Web Performance Optimisation (WPO): Code refactoring and advanced server configuration to ensure ultra-fast loading speeds, routinely clearing 95+ scores on Google PageSpeed.
· SEO-First Architecture: Structuring sites from the ground up to facilitate search engine crawling and boost organic rankings.
· Technical Consultancy: Delivering site audits, security hardening, complex migrations, and solving critical technical issues within WordPress environments.

I bring the technical depth and strategic vision of a veteran creative director, applied with the agility, transparency, and budget efficiency that only a top-tier independent specialist can provide.
